The Pact with Poland

President Trump met with the head of the Polish government today at the White House.  The two leaders announced that roughly 1000 additional American troops will be sent to Poland.  The Poles will also be buying F-35 jets from the USA.  This is good news.  It cements the US alliance with Poland.  It also provides a large order for the American companies involved in the manufacture of the F0-35.  So what has the immediate response been from the mainstream media and the Democrats?  They''re outraged; they think the agreement is terrible.  That should be no surprise, anything the President does or says is terrible for that group.  Nevertheless, it's important to consider their main criticism:  America should not be sending more troops abroad.  Obviously, today's agreement must have taken the Dems and their media allies by surprise.  After all, they are complaining about sending more US troops abroad when that will not actually be happening.  The additional troops going to Poland will be coming from US bases in Germany.  We won't have any more troops abroad than we do now.  The Polish government is going to support the cost of these troops in part, so it will actually cost the USA less to have the troops in Poland than it cost to keep them in Germany.

It would be nice if just one time the media decided to get the facts before starting to complain about the details of a news story.
