You just have no idea how hard and how long we have lobbied for any American soldiers to come over here, with little effect until just now. Including when we tried to seize on the missile defense initiative and it didn't really work out.

I don't think Poland is doing intelligent things, to be honest. Calling for a no fly zone is madness. And having American troops on your territory gives them leverage to force you accept all sorts of nonsense, like BLM. I'd rather keep them out.

So you just don't much about the region and the history of it, okay.

Depends. If by 'not much', you mean more than 99% of all non-Poles, that would be accurate.

The Polish-Ukrainian history is very long and complicated, often also extremely bloody and tragic. Check out the Polish films "With Fire and Sword" and "Wołyń" (NOT the export version "Hatred", it was made misleading and incomprehensible while trying to be shortened and simplified for an American audience, also it's censored) if you want.

I'd rather have a book. At least, if it about learning history.

The German Serbs are also known as Sorbs (and as Serbo-Łużyczanie in Poland). Even Berlin itself used to be Slavic prior to the original Drag nach Osten (the great turn to the east following the successful Germanic conquest of the Roman Empire).

Now that is something that I didn't know. I was aware that the Duchy of Prussia was Slavic, but Brandenburg and Berlin itself? The strange thing is... wasn't modern Poland the home of the Goths in ancient times? So it went from being Germanic, to being Slavic, to being Germanic, to being Slavic again.
