Russian missiles on Polish border
31.05.2006
Several Russian anti ballistic missiles have been placed on the Belarus-Polish border.
Report by Agnieszka Bielawska
The arrival of the missiles to the 115 air defense brigade have made this unit twice as powerful as it was before. The nearness of the missiles to the Polish border has given rise for concern since Poland’s troublesome eastern neighbour, Belarus, has received a very modern and powerful defense tool.
Piotr Zochowski from the East European Studies center in Warsaw says the move was expected.
In line with the declaration last year made by the Russian defence ministry on modernization of the Belrus armed forces the deployment of the missiles completes the arrangement. The issue which in Poland can be speculated on is whether this country is in possession of equally modern equipment.
And according to reports Poland has no such powerful anti ballistic missiles. Thus the deployment of the S-300 on the Polish Belarus border is a challenge to Poland, says military expert Wojciech Luczak.
The range of the missiles reaches far beyond the Polish capital and they are good enough to destroy almost everything flying over Poland. In declarations the Belarus armed forces officials say that it is purely a defense system but in case of any crisis it can destroy the AWAX planes flying over Poland as part of the NATO air defense system.
Polish-Belarus relations have been chilly ever since the Belarus authorities accused this country of interfering into the internal affairs of Belarus and supporting the democratic opposition in that country. Additionally Poland’s EU and NATO membership have not been to the liking of Moscow. This recent appearance of the S-300 on the Belarus Polish border is a signal of the importance Russia and Belarus pay to the pact of joint air defense system says Piotr Zochowski.
In a truly propaganda manner Belarus and Russia have underlined the significance of the pact and related it to the alleged increase of security threats coming from Poland, due to this country’s acceptance of the offer for the F-16 fighters and the possible deployment of the US anti missile defense system so called Son of Star wars on Polish territory and the territories of other Central European states.
Wojciech Luczak compares the situation to the times when Cyprus and Greece planned to deploy anti ballistic missiles close to the Turkish border but underlines that the presence of the Russian S-300 close to the Polish border is not a threat rather a tough nut to crack for the Polish authorities.
I think it is a part of Moscow’s game with Poland using the Belarus assets and geographical position. It is not a threat to Poland but a challenge to Polish decision makers especially defense minister Radoslaw Sikorski. I think they are trying to put minister Sikorski in an awkward position.
The deployment of the S-300 wound up the deal on a joint Belarus Russian air defense system, and this year another deal is to be signed allowing free movement of planes between both states without any additional agreements or political decisions.
The way you line up to defend Soros goons in East Europe I'm sure protecting the rain forests is another plank of your real party line.
I wouldn't agree with you, however I'd say, that King Salmon is the largest salmon in North America.
Of course you wouldn't agree with me; you're a Soros supporter, and I hate Soros and his third way socialism, as well as the billions he gives to promoting infanticide of east europeon babies.
Yes, I saw that.
BTW Did you read the article about pedophiles... ?
I prefer sovereignty to Polish expansion, cut and dry.
Further if you'd like to deny history in Crimea and ukraine it is YOU who belongs in a little room (or Tsar's cannon), not I.
I'd rather say, that the largest train station in Europe - the Berlin Hauptbahnhof - opens in the German capital soon.
Hardly.
You'd rather countries like Ukraine stay poor with third way socialist economies, while Soros gives millions to kill off their children and promote homsexuality.
Hmmmm.... Elephants are really amazing animals to see in their own environment. They are incredibly social creatures who have lasting memories, and can communicate over long distances through low range sound waves.
Put doesn't give cash to abortion, Yushchneko does.
Yushchenko was a communist (as was the head of Ukraine's heretical schismatic KP church).
The economy has flourished and taxes have been slashed under Putin.
The economy has tanked in Ukraine, and Yushchenko has renationalized industries.
It's clear who the commie in the woodpile is.
Ukraine will remember when they kick this idiot to the curb, who suggested him in the first place.
What's of interest here is the anti social quality of rats.
Rats have nothing to do with this. I was talking about elephants.
Especially those pink ones, with huuuge, beautiful purple wings.
Take a look in the mirror and you'll see the connection to rats.

It is wonderful that espechially you, x5452, are going back to your roots to reanimate the old Russian tradition of political Dadaism. All your comments are perfect Dada. Even better than those of Lizol because of your reference to your view of contemporary reality. This is high art. Just imagine your rats having a long proboscis and they will fit perfectly to Lizol's elephant.
Besides: If you should not know what Dadaism is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dada
P.S. If you go to Chiracs "Centre Pompidou" you can sell yourself as a permanent installation that is declaiming Russian Dadaism. Since Lizol is a nice guy he probably send you some excellent Polish sausages that most Russians prefer to French escargots or grenouilles (frog legs).
My problem is where Poland is sticking their Sausage in relation to Ukraine.
They should at least buy 'em dinner first.
"I'll be happy when Polish nationalists are realized for what they are; anti-Christian EU activists funding abortion in other nations out of ethnic hate."
You know, you are such a pollutant on any thread that has to do with Russia and her "neighbors", in particular Poland. Can't you go spew your emotional outbursts and vitriolic comments elsewhere? I'm so sick of your being against those countries that are our allies and friends now, such as Poland. Just because you love a Russian regime that is becoming more and more autocratic and slipping back into the old ways. Everything you accuse the neighboring countries of is what Russia is actually doing. You are totally half*ss backwards in all of your assessments, and therefore have no credibility. Most Freepers who read the threads you pop up on are onto you. You make yourself so obvious, and not in a good way.
But you still cheering Russo-Belorussian "struggle" against vicious NATO?==
NATO is military allience isn't it? So there are precausions to make. Just in case.
NATO already bombed Yugoslavia so it is not defensive allience but offensive.
