For decades, Poland has relied on US support for its defense. But now Donald Trump is planning to pull US troops out of Europe, causing alarm for Poland and other countries on NATO\u2019s Eastern Flank, closest to Russia. Poland is doing everything it can to keep the US, its strongest ally, on side. But it\u2019s also building up its own military muscle. It has recently purchased M1A2Abrams tanks, AH-64 Apache helicopters, and F-35 Lighting II fighter jets from the US. And Poland is building partnerships closer to home, for example with the Nordic and Baltic states \u2014 and even considering how it could work with other countries to benefit from their nuclear weapons. Poland\u2019s history explains why it is so afraid of outside threats. During World War II, it was divided by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Now it is determined to keep Russia out and cope with Vladimir Putin\u2019s nuclear saber-rattling. <\/p>\n<p>00:00 Can Poland still count on the US?<br \/>\n01:23 Russia&#8217;s war in Ukraine and its effects on Poland<br \/>\n02:52 Putin&#8217;s threats against Poland<br \/>\n04:01 Washington&#8217;s changing view on Russia<br \/>\n04:49 US troops in Poland and Trump&#8217;s plans<br \/>\n06:12 How Poland is rearming itself<br \/>\n07:29 Polish history: divided and occupied<br \/>\n08:24 How Poland joined NATO<br \/>\n09:50 Why NATO-Russia crisis unfolded<br \/>\n11:48 How NATO reinforced the Eastern Flank<br \/>\n12:32 Poland and Ukraine: dangerous crisis<br \/>\n13:22 Trump&#8217;s shift on NATO and Russia<br \/>\n14:11 Eastern Flank and Nordic countries<br \/>\n15:10 Baltic flashpoint: Kaliningrad?<br \/>\n15:41 Poland&#8217;s problem with Germany<br \/>\n16:59 Will Poland get nuclear weapons?<br \/>\n18:29 Will Kremlin push Poland and the US apart?<\/p>\n<p>For more news go to: http:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/<\/p>\n<p>Follow DW on social media:<br \/>\n\u25baInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dwnews<br \/>\n\u25baTikTok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@dwnews<br \/>\n\u25baFacebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/deutschewellenews\/<br \/>\n\u25baTwitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/dwnews<\/p>\n<p>F\u00fcr Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/dwdeutsch<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1<\/p>\n<p>#MappedOut #NATO #Poland #dwgeopolitics<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poland is ramping up military spending and border defenses, fearing it could be one of Russia\u2019s next targets after Ukraine.
