In the interview, the expert highlighted the importance of a permanent U.S. military presence for the security of Poland and NATO\u2019s eastern flank. As he noted, a permanent base \u2013 particularly one supported by full infrastructure and accommodating soldiers\u2019 families \u2013 would represent a much stronger and more direct U.S. commitment than a rotational presence. In the event of a potential conflict, this would leave less room for political debate in Washington over whether and how U.S. forces should become involved. <\/p>

Lewandowski also commented on the current model of U.S. troop deployment in Poland and the Baltic states. In his view, a rotational presence strengthens deterrence, but it does not provide the same degree of political and strategic anchoring as a permanent garrison. <\/p>

The interview also addressed the 1997 NATO\u2013Russia Founding Act, including provisions concerning the deployment of substantial permanent combat forces on the territory of former Warsaw Pact countries. Dr Lewandowski noted that the establishment of a permanent U.S. base in Poland would likely be used by Russia for propaganda and diplomatic purposes. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
