Russia warned the United States on Tuesday against basing elements of a planned missile defense system in Poland, saying this would undermine strategic stability and require a "corresponding" response from Moscow, Interfax news agency said.
"This could have a negative impact on strategic stability, regional security and the relations between states," Interfax quoted ministry spokesman Mikhail Kamynin as saying in an interview.
"Such a new situation objectively requires corresponding measures from us," Kamynin said.
I put this through the Google translator, and I still didn't get English! I think it's written in secret code, and I don't have a decoder ring.
If US place missile defenses in Poland, sooner or later Russia will place the missile defenses in Cuba.
Now you get the message?
Poland might defend itself from a massive Russian attack? Putin can't allow that.
That threat is supposed to scare us?
That threat is supposed to scare us?
Threat? What a threat? Do you suppose or agree that defense system can be a threat? :)))
Not really. The Russians don't like our defense system because they want to threaten us with nuclear missiles. They can go to Hell.
"Poland, once a close ally of Moscow" - is that what AFP calls it? They were under the Iron thumb of the USSR, but to the AFP, they were allies... Disgusting.
Russians the only nation who posses the nuclear missiles, yes?
The Americans don't threaten anyone with nuclear missiles, yes?
Do you hear anything about MAD?
You're stuck in the cold war. MAD is soon to be a thing of the past, comrade.
You are wrong, mister.
Neither Russia, nor US lose the ability to comblitly destroy each other.
US strikes Russia ought to retaliate, and surely will retaliate.
And we would attack Russia...why?
Is the cold war over?
Leverage for Iran?
Yes, I don't think you fully understand my point. These are missle defense systems, not offensive nuclear weapons. I would not support putting offensive weapons in Poland. I believe these are designed to shoot down Russian weapons if they are launched. And I believe we are doing these because Poland is a great ally who has been oppressed by Russia for centuries; and because Russia has stood against us on Iraq and Iran and now we are putting pressure back on them. I still believe that Russia may be a bigger threat to America than anything. I hope I'm wrong, but they have not been acting like an ally.
Come on over.
As I recall, in their incredible arrogance, they warned Bush to stay out of it.
