Can ? Well , they did , didn ' t they ? So perhaps you can use an ounce of brain power and answer your own question , laddie . As for the latter , seems you are quite lacking in knowledge . Poland and the Baltics are NATO member countries . They fall under a mutual defense clause . As for old East Europe that depends on which countries you are referring to . Anyway , calm your little cherry down . Sit back and enjoy the front row of America becoming Great Again ! <| sep |> so pretty ! <| sep |> Add Abe ' s stance to things like the JET Program , and that appears to be the closest we have to an official immigration policy come to Japan temporarily , don ' t learn your rights , don ' t integrate into the society , be an easy target for exploitation and manipulation , contribute all of your knowledge and skills to the country , then GTFO .

Unless he was saying something like , ' shitme we need better gaijin filters on our visa application process '
