3,500 U.S. troops have arrived in Poland to show Putin that America is still committed to our NATO obligations in a rebuff to Putin and his pal Trump, who warned he would pull us out of NATO during the presidential campaign.

More from the Guardian:
The Kremlin has hit out at the biggest deployment of US troops in Europe since the end of the cold war, branding the arrival of troops and tanks in Poland as a threat to Russia’s national security.
The deployment, intended to counter what Nato portrays as Russian aggression in eastern Europe, will see US troops permanently stationed along Russia’s western border for the first time.
About 1,000 of a promised 4,000 troops arrived in Poland at the start of the week, and a formal ceremony to welcome them is to be held on Saturday. Some people waved and held up American flags as the troops, tanks and heavy armoured vehicles crossed into south-western Poland from Germany, according to Associated Press.
But their arrival was not universally applauded. In Moscow, Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: “We perceive it as a threat. These actions threaten our interests, our security. Especially as it concerns a third party building up its military presence near our borders. It’s [the US], not even a European state.”
Now, why would American soldiers on the Polish borders be a threat unless Vladimir plans on invading Poland? And what does it matter after Trump will place the troops on the other side of the border to help Putin invade Poland in about a week?
