The United States approved the supply of weapons to Warsaw for $ 0,5 billion

40
The press service of the Pentagon reports that the US has approved the supply of weapons to Poland in the amount of about 0,5 billion dollars. RIA News cites official reports of the military department:
The US State Department decided to approve the possible sale of operational-tactical missile-artillery systems (HIMARS) to Poland for about 250 million dollars. The US Department of Defense Office for Military Cooperation submitted all necessary documents to Congress.


The United States approved the supply of weapons to Warsaw for $ 0,5 billion




It was noted that possible deliveries of the AIM-120C-7 air-to-air missiles to Poland were approved. The total cost of the “kit” is also about 250 million dollars. Apparently, the Polish aces are going to work out the reception of air combat in the airspace of the country ...

Acquisition of American weapons Poland is trying to demonstrate its loyalty to Washington for very impressive sums. At the same time, loyalty to Warsaw will become more and more difficult each year, given that Poland should start repaying loans previously received from the EU from 2020. And according to experts, Poland only in the last 10 years has received over 50 billion of credit dollars. The current authorities of the country claim that the growth of the Polish economy will make it possible to pay off debts without a special burden on Polish citizens. Not all Polish economists agree with this thesis.

    Something little bought by the Poles, you need to take large wholesale immediately, at least 7 percent of the country's GDP, to get into debt bondage forever!

        “Warsaw’s loyalty will be more and more difficult every year, given that Poland must start repaying loans received from the European Union from 2020. According to experts, Poland alone has received over $ 10 billion over the past 50 years
        In addition, Poland has already subscribed to 10 lard for the purchase of missile defense against "Iranian" missiles. And the state’s liquefied gas will have to be bought in three ways.
        Quote: Still “in 2011, US Secretary of Defense Gates scolded NATO members for not contributing: "The United States will not engage in charity and drag on the whole alliance" Trump realizes these threats. Demands for payment of NATO spending are growing. Free Cheese for East European NATO Members Ended and the mousetrap slammed shut. The fate of the "mice" is not enviable, they will be between a rock and a hard place in case of a major conflict. And save them from this, only fear can "puppeteer"do not sit out overseas once again. hi

      Poland’s GDP is 0.5 trillion $, so there are more than apples. And generally a strange approach. When the Russian Federation supplies Syria or Venezuela with weapons worth hundreds of millions of dollars that these countries will never give back, then this is normal, and when a state with a stable economy acquires weapons for itself with the repayment of the amount over 10 years, it must somehow humiliate this country .

        Poland's GDP of $ 0.5 trillion

        This opus of a blogger is dedicated to lovers of GDP. laughing
        "In short, it is clear to any person who thinks a little that the criterion of GDP does not express anything and does not say anything, but it helps to push the natives. For example, when white people pulled Bulgaria, they popularly explained that GDP growth is good, it’s the highest the meaning of life, and in order to raise GDP, it is necessary to carry out privatization - to sell to those who have money everything that they can - nuclear power plants, electricity networks, sewers, water supply, land, etc. Bulgaria’s GDP has skyrocketed! assets that previously existed, but belonged to natives who did not know how to use them in a market, were instantly included in the market turnover, and then rex-pax-fex, blah blah blah about investments, and the natives in Bulgaria no longer have N.I. -CH-E-G-O. The water supply system belongs to the Austrians, the Germans power plants, the Czech electricity network. The British bought the land (and maybe not the British, who bought it, bought it through Cyprus). .

        But nothing, is there any skin on the pope yet? So they began to rip her off. Previously, electricity was Bulgarian, and the Bulgarians paid a penny for it. Moreover, they exported it to the EU and Turkey. And then their power plants in the process of increasing GDP became German, and the Germans decided to bury Bulgarian energy. They explained to the natives that a nuclear power plant is bad, it is necessary to build wind generators and solar power plants. After all, the natives were taken to the EU, and according to EU standards, they should receive 16% of electricity from environmentally friendly sources. And “green electricity is 10 times more expensive!” And when the Bulgarians received electricity bills, they howled and rushed to rally. The government had to use the money that it received from the sale of nuclear power plants to gradually mitigate shock energy therapy. Check out the beauty of the brilliant operation: first, the Bulgarians sold their energy to the Westerners, then they gave them the proceeds, and something about 37 billion euros still remained in the edge. Now the Bulgarians are accustomed to and pay for the light regularly 10 times more than before. And this is wonderful, because the contribution of the electric power industry to the country's GDP has grown! The funniest thing here is that electricity production fell, GDP grew! This is real magic!

        True, the Bulgarians themselves from such happiness began to flee the country. Previously, there were 9 million, now 7 million remain, of which the actual Bulgarians are only 5 million, and the rest are gypsies and Turks. But here there is reason for joy, because GDP is expressed not only in absolute figures, but also per capita. So if your GDP is falling, but the population is declining even faster, it means that per capita GDP is growing. So, all hurt yourself! Bulgaria is on the right track! Agriculture died, the chemical industry died, science died, the people living in the hinterland by candlelight, the country is heavily indebted, but "the dynamics of GDP is positive," as Western economic shamans say, counting their milk yield from cattle.

            If the fourth nuclear submarine missile carrier was launched, if the nuclear icebreakers went into production, if they destroyed the Caliphate, annexed the Crimea, and Donbass, it seems that your calculations are not very good. How much are oil and gas wells, how many shelves are, how much are Yars? It is impossible for you to accountants to even understand this. You consider a certain capitalization, some GDP, but in fact you are all poor against Russia. And while you are not confused by the low standard of living of a citizen of the Russian Federation. Soon you will have nothing to eat except dollars. Why does the United States throw all resources into control of wells in the BV and the control of Suez, etc., using cannon fodder from desert rogues, because it depends on it completely. The entire economy of the West will collapse with its numbers. Now the resource-producing countries have shown their teeth, they are arming themselves in the most serious way with Russian weapons and the SA, and Iran, and even more so the Russian Federation, which has the most powerful and modern strategic nuclear forces, which means the strongest on the planet. The West is bankrupt. There are no resources, production has migrated to the Asia-Pacific region, all collapse is a matter of time.

And she is direct. More GDP - people live better, since there is more money for education and healthcare, roads and culture. And it doesn’t matter where the money came to the treasury by increasing GDP. It is important how much money is in the treasury and how much is spent on the welfare of citizens.

            This is not written to you. And that in itself a measure of GDP doesn't say anything. In particular, he does not speak about the availability of free money from the state for the purchase of weapons. Poland's GDP annually grows by 7-10 billion euros of direct gratuitous subsidies from EU funds, in addition to those loans and subsidies that come to Poland by the government and in addition to loans taken by the Polish government at interest.

            Israel’s GDP, for example, is growing steadily. But try to prove that Israel can afford the existing volume of arms purchases from the United States without direct military assistance from Washington. 38 billions in 10 years of gratuitous military assistance, does this mean something to you?

            Poland’s economy rests on EU privileges and subsidies, and its “stable economy” rests on the same “reliable foundation” and it would be logical to buy weapons all the same in Europe.

              Israel's GDP exceeded 300 billion a year (8.5 million people). Allocate another 3.8 billion for weapons, if the US suddenly decides to stop military assistance, Israel will be able to calmly. This is the meaning of GDP growth: “there is money” (in the words of Medvedev). But the increase in arms purchases by countries where GDP is not growing, or almost does not grow, inevitably leads to collapse / default. It went through many.
              And no resources will help. Example: Venezuela bathes in oil, but goes bankrupt.

              GDP says a lot. For example, Singapore’s GDP is $ 492,600,000,000 (41th place in the world), and Nauru’s GDP is $ 151,000,000 (223th place in the world). Singapore is actively purchasing weapons, and Nauru ... Or warring Eritrea with a GDP of $ 9,169,000,000 and Turkey with a GDP of $ 1,988,000,000,000. Compare their armed forces and arms purchases?

              Poland's GDP is $ 1,054,000,000,000 (25-th place in the world). They can afford a lot with the military budget of 2% of the “meaningless GDP”.

              This tells me that the Israeli government doesn’t receive American arms correctly for free, despite the fact that this year the budget surplus amounted to about 18 billion shekels ($ 5.2 billion). Israel can afford to purchase weapons, primarily in its own right, and not support the American manufacturer.

                Above, I gave a “household” example of GDP growth from scratch. There are industrial (statistical methods) that allow you to draw GDP arbitrarily in a certain amount. For example, recently, the GDP of EU countries has taken into account income from prostitution and the illegal drug trade.

                Poland's GDP is $ 1,054,000,000,000 (25-th place in the world). They can afford a lot with the military budget of 2% of the “meaningless GDP”.


                And the GDP of Latvia is three times lower. Does this mean that it can buy exactly three times less weapons than Poland? For example, 30-40 F-16 in the USA?

                GDP is inflated (and very much) by stock speculation (Singapore) or real estate bubbles.
                Comparison therefore needs real defense budgets. It will not be fighting as a percentage of GDP, but by specific aircraft and tanks. So when it comes to the specifics, Poland shows low purchasing power. For example, having bought the first batch of F-16 Poland for a long time could not launch them and on combat duty, because there simply was not enough money to maintain them in a state of airworthiness.


                Israel can afford to buy weapons, and first of all at home, and not support the American manufacturer.


                That's right, Israel is a developed industrial country, included in the list of technological leaders. Its tanks, small arms, UAVs, missile weapons, missile defense, radar systems. In Poland, none of this exists. Only the figure of GDP.

                Do you have figures for their borrowings? I only found that tax collection amounted to 17.1% of GDP, and national debt was only 48% of GDP.


                Not borrowing, but direct gratuitous subsidies. The full amount is very difficult to determine. Since it is scattered across a dozen European programs. These are small business support programs, and environmental programs and subsidies to "innovative" industries. Agriculture is subsidized separately. At the same time, there are direct budget injections.
                Here are the main sources of subsidies: European Cohesion Fund, designed for large national investments such as highways or airports; The social fund from which people invest in people, the Regional Development Fund, is incredibly multifaceted - from it you can build a bike path, as well as a film studio or a complex of scientific laboratories. But the largest box in which Brussels constantly invests 40% of its budget is the general agricultural policy

                On average, Poland receives about 10 billion per year. Euro freebies per year only to the budget. For at least 10 years. The infrastructure is being updated for these billions, almost all railway construction is being funded by these funds. In addition to the fact that until 2012, almost € 80 billion was poured into Poland from the EU funds almost free of charge under the “equalization” program.

                But according to rough approximate estimates, the volume of subsidies from the EU to Poland is about 14 billion euros. in year. Last at least 10 years. At the same time, Poland still manages to increase external public debt. Both explicit and hidden. This year it amounted to 1 trillion zlotys (approx. 280 billion euros) and continues to grow. That is, despite subsidies from the EU, the Polish budget does not have enough money.

                But, in principle, you can buy tanks on the brink of ruin, Greece Greece at one time was noted with such a feint. But I said that sitting on the neck of Germany and France, Poland would be logical to buy weapons in Europe. Especially light fighters, with the possibility of suspension of weapons systems of the USA in Europe are.

          Everything is correct, albeit kartkaturno. I hope that our people understand what the government of DAM suggests with the privatization of everything? Rather, leftovers? Half of the population, I believe, will certainly not fit into such a market. Gaidar is incredibly happy! It will come to the privatization of land and forests. This is a matter of time. So, the Zadornovskoye “Well, boo!” Will soon apply to all of us if we listen indifferently to the Kudrins and other liberals.
