WARSAW, March 17 (Reuters) - Poland will not send troops to Iran as the conflict does not directly ​affect its security, Prime Minister Donald ‌Tusk said on Tuesday, adding that the United States and other powers understood Warsaw's decision.

U.S. President Donald Trump called ​on allies over the weekend to ​help secure the Strait of Hormuz as ⁠Iranian forces continue attacks on the vital ​waterway amid the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, ​now in its third week.

Poland's government "does not plan any expedition to Iran, and this does not raise ​any doubts on the part of ​our allies," Tusk said before a government meeting.

He said this ‌covered ⁠Poland's land, air and naval forces, which are still being built up in the face of the conflict over the border in ​Ukraine. Tusk said ​securing the ⁠Baltic Sea remained a central element of Poland's strategy.

1. shithole constantly talking bad about NATO, threatening to leave................

saying horrible things about the leaders, even supporting Orban who is another Putin puppet.

NATO, EU, UN, and other world organizations kept in the dark.

So yeah, why help shithole.

3. What about Trump's pal Orban in Hungary? Is he volunteering any help?

I'm sure it would be soooooo popular with his voters.
