US To Loan Poland $3 Billion To Purchase Helicopters

Washington has agreed to give Warsaw a $3 billion loan to buy American-made Apache Helicopters. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the White House has lavished Poland with military assistance, loans to buy weapons, and billions in arms sales. 

The US is set to use the Foreign Military Financing program to give Poland a $3.08 billion loan to buy the Apaches. Warsaw has received several FMF loans over the past year, totaling $7 billion. 

Poland has played a critical role in the White House’s proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. Washington has used Warsaw to funnel weapons to Kiev, and Ukrainian soldiers have been trained on Polish soil. 

Warsaw has been supportive of Washington’s proxy war against Moscow and, at times, has pushed the White House to provide more military support to Ukraine. 

Under recent administrations, Washington has doled out billions of taxpayer dollars to several foreign nations to buy weapons from major American defense firms. The policy has tied the US to the crimes of multiple despots and enriched large arms makers at the American taxpayers’ expense. 

Poland agreed to buy over 90 Apaches from Boeing earlier this year, totaling $10 billion.
