Russia Threatens to Nuke Poland
Russia threatens nuclear attack
By Matthew Lee and Anne Gearan in Tbilisi
August 17, 2008 02:37am


RUSSIA warned Poland yesterday it faced a nuclear attack if it accepts a US missile interceptor base on its soil.

The ominous rhetoric came as Moscow signed a treaty to stop the fighting in neighbouring Georgia, another US ally which is seeking to join NATO like Poland.

US and Polish officials signed a deal on Thursday for Poland to host a system the US says is aimed at blocking attacks by rogue nations, such as Iran.

But Moscow is convinced the base is aimed at Russia's missile force.

"Poland, by deploying (the system) is exposing itself to a strike; 100 per cent," General Anatoly Nogovitsyn, the deputy chief of staff of Russia's armed forces, was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying.

He added that Russia's military doctrine sanctions the use of nuclear weapons "against the allies of countries having nuclear weapons, if they in some way help them". General Nogovitsyn also said that would include elements of strategic deterrence systems.

President Dmitry Medvedev said the deal "absolutely, clearly demonstrates what we had said earlier: the deployment has the Russian Federation as its target".

But last night, Mr Medvedev signed the plan for a ceasefire in Georgia that his Georgian counterpart reluctantly agreed to a day earlier, setting the stage for a Russian troop withdrawal after more than a week of warfare.

The Russian leader signed the order in the resort city of Sochi, where the president has a summer residence, Mr Medvedev's spokesman Alexei Pavlov said.

The ceasefire plan calls for Russian forces to withdraw to the positions they held before the fighting broke out in Georgia's Russian-backed separatist province of South Ossetia. That appears to mean that hundreds of Russian soldiers who had been in South Ossetia previously as peacekeepers will be allowed to return.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the US agreed to help augment Poland's defences with Patriot missiles in exchange for placing 10 missile defence interceptors in the country.

Warning : Statement completely blown out of proportion.

The general appears to be saying that by accepting missile shield bases on its land Poland makes itself a target if the US and Russia ever start launching nukes at each other. Frankly I don't see anything the slightest bit surprising in him saying that. It's always been a common tactic of people trying to get France or the UK to unilaterally disarm. Point out that Poland is making itself a target for Russian nukes while getting **** all out of the deal and hope that the people are suitably annoyed by the idea that they tell the USA to stuff it.

And you could bet the Americans would say much the same if the Russians started putting their missiles in Cuba and Mexico. :D

The US isn't really helping either, but Russia really is being a dick,

It'd be one thing if they threatened to invade Poland, but nuke it?
