From a stateist perspective with the broadly know state of the Polish army rejecting any source of finance for it is borderline treason. And his sode basically claims the problem is that we have to necesarly buy american equipment. Which they did when in goverment underminding long term programs and getting less for more, so now we have unarmed helicopters and tanks we cant roll through half of the local land features.
This is about Abrams spefically. A lot of oir infrastructure is not adjusted to their size and weight, and they might not be the best option for the local marches, swamps and thick forrests which is all of Polands east (plus some mountines to the south). Its a tank for open plains.
My interpretation was that they are an insurance against another German attack. It sounds a bit unreasonable but I think it allows them to focus on the east.
Even if it’s a rhetorical question; in this case the official line is about trusted partnership, and problems with strategic dependence on neighbors with problematic history. Dog whistle being “Trump right wing good, Brussels green-gays bad”, and that gets political points, gotta oppose whatever the other party supports. In reality pretty sure it’s easier to be corrupt in dealings with Trump than with EU (when not well established with EU elites). Or just being Russian pawns and using all this to subvert defensive capabilities and alliances. We got well established precedences in our own history.

The German and American tanks? Wasn’t it a conscious decision to have stronger tanks where possible?

Why do right wingers vote for globalists?
