Surrounded by throngs celebrating Poland’s 25 years of democracy, President Obama on Wednesday pledged to uphold the United States’ longtime commitment to the defense of Eastern Europe against new threats, using the opportunity to deliver a resounding endorsement of democratic movements across the world.
"Throughout history, the Polish people were abandoned by friends when you needed them most," Obama said. "I have come to Warsaw today — on behalf of the United States, on behalf of the NATO Alliance — to reaffirm our unwavering commitment to Poland’s security".
Speaking at the "Freedom Day" event in a historic square by the Royal Castle, the president said he would use the full might of the American armed forces to protect Poland and other Eastern European allies and called out Russia as a threat to regional security and democracy.
"Our free nations will stand united so that further Russian provocations will only mean more isolation and costs for Russia," he said. "We refuse to allow the dark tactics of the 20th century to define the 21st".
