Poland is a traditional US ally and partner in Europe. Both Washington and Warsaw look equally at democracy, the future of Europe and the basic principles of the modern world order. In addition, close ties with the United States (Russia’s key historical competitor) are largely dictated by the fact that Poland was and is under pressure from Russia (USSR). But the strong union of Poland and the United States has a threat in the person of Kazakhstan – Washington’s new hobby.
The recent proposal by Polish President Andrzej Duda to US leader Trump to strengthen the military group in Poland seems quite logical. Moreover, Poland is ready to finance the construction of infrastructure for Fort Trump.
Despite everything, the Poles are trying to fulfill the requirements of the United States to allocate 2% of GDP for defense, which, incidentally, is boycotted by Germany and many other NATO countries.
However, the United States, demanding that Poland meet in many matters relating to the security of the eastern borders of Europe, do not forget to get closer to the military and power departments of Kazakhstan.
Not so long ago, materials appeared on the network according to which Americans are ready not only to fully sponsor the bilateral internship programs of Kazakh border guards in the United States, but also to pay for their families in the United States. Note that despite the long-standing ties between Washington and Warsaw, the Polish military never had such privileges on the part of the United States …
Also interesting is the fact that some of the Kazakh border guards who fell into the internship program in the USA also have internships in Russia. In other words, they are friends with both those and those. This cannot be said for sure about the Polish security forces.
On the other hand, if we consider the reasons for these actions and the possibility of Kazakhstan turning onto the European development path, as, for example, Ukraine and Georgia have already done, then objective reality suggests the opposite. Kazakhstan is a traditional Asian country with a pronounced dictatorship. Kazakhstan is a longtime friend and conductor of the interests of Russia and China.
The leadership of Kazakhstan openly declares its full support for the policies of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
Receiving money from the United States to implement programs in the power sector, Kazakhstan does not promise anything and moreover does not even guarantee loyalty. After all, paying for Kazakh military families in the United States is not a vaccine against betrayal, especially when Beijing and Moscow pour serious capital into the economy of Kazakhstan.
It turns out that Washington may miss its faithful Warsaw, carried away by an unreliable Asian beauty.
