While visiting Poland on Tuesday, President Barack Obama promoted a classically American solution for the tension that Ukrainian upheaval has brought to Europe’s eastern border: more guns and more gas.
During a joint press conference with Polish President Bronisław Komorowski, Obama announced a $1 billion initiative to bolster U.S. troops in central and eastern Europe in an attempt to stem further Russian “provocations,” despite recent moves by Russian President Vladimir Putin tp withdraw Russian troops from its border with Ukraine.
“Under this effort, and with the support of Congress, the United States will pre-position more equipment in Europe,” said Obama speaking in Warsaw on the first day of a four-day trip to the region. “We will be expanding our exercises and training with allies to increase the readiness of our forces.”
