US nuclear weapons in Poland assessed as unlikely by former NSC official (defence24.com)

• US nuclear weapons in Poland considered unlikely by former NSC official John Erath.
• Nuclear sharing is political, not military; tactical nukes have little strategic value.
• Poland's participation in nuclear sharing would face NATO internal resistance.

"John Erath, former director for European affairs on the U.S. National Security Council, states that deploying U.S. nuclear weapons to Poland is unlikely. In an interview with Defence24.com, he explains that nuclear sharing serves political rather than military purposes, symbolizing alliance solidarity. Poland would face resistance from some NATO allies if it sought to join the program, and the Trump administration shows little understanding of Polish concerns."
