      It’s written in the post but Poland wanted the backing of the US in the event Russia would attack Poland. They wanted it to be an “Allied” decision as opposed to just a Polish decision.

      Same reason even major powers like Germany coordinate with the US when it comes to giving Ukraine weapons: the US is the only country in the world at the moment that is completely invincible, so having it share the responsibility is a good idea

            then Russia makes a better example of a invincible empire.

            Sweden, France, Germany have all tried at their peak strength to conquer Russia and failed.

            USA with its geographical isolation has been lucky in that regard.
