Poland reluctant to give America sovereignty over missile base

See, this is what you get for allying yourself with the US empire. In fact, you could just as well officially turn over sovereignty altogether because for all intents and or purposes you already have. Welcome Poland, the new proxy chip in northern Europe.

Poland’s president has expressed reservations about surrendering sovereignty to the US at a site being touted as the sole European base for Washington’s controversial missile defence programme.

Concerns have been raised over America’s insistence that the base would be a sovereign US installation on Polish soil, and beyond the scrutiny of local legal and defence officials. “I approach the problem of extra-territoriality with reserve, I won’t hide that,” said the president, Lech Kaczynski.

But the traitorous Polish government aren’t nearly as upset as they pretend to be, the article goes on to note …

The Polish defence minister, Radek Sikorski, a former scholar at the Washington American Enterprise Institute - viewed as a thinktank for neo-conservatives in the Bush administration - said Warsaw had tabled a list of questions on the proposed “Son of Star Wars” site and was waiting for the US response.

It may be that the reservations being voiced in Warsaw are a bargaining chip aimed at securing the best deal possible from what would be the first permanent US military base in Poland.
