Because the US is going to throw Poland under the bus without even considering once if it yields a short-term benefit.

That's rich considering it was France and the UK that threw Poland under the bus despite having a signed defense pact. The US just came in to clean up the mess.

		I am under impression that some other nation was involved in cleaning up. If you can even call it cleaning up.

		WW2 ended with Yalta conference where Roosevelt agreed to Stalin's proposition of giving Poland to USSR's sphere of influence, making Poland (and rest of EE) their puppet state. Churchil wanted to pressure Stalin to leave Poland (and at least parts of EE) independent and even considered "Operation Unthinkable". At least that's what I think the guy above referenced.
