A senior Russian general warned Poland today that it was leaving itself open to retaliation - and possibly even a nuclear strike - by agreeing to host a US missile base.
General Anatoly Nogovitsyn, the Russian armed forces' deputy chief of staff, issued the extraordinary threat in an interview with Interfax, a Russian news agency.
Poland, by deploying [the system] is exposing itself to a strike - 100 per cent, he was quoted as saying, before explaining that Russian military doctrine sanctioned the use of nuclear weapons against the allies of countries having nuclear weapons if they in some way help them.
The bleak warning comes as tensions between Moscow and the West reached their worst state since the end of the Cold War.

Of course Eurowennies still view the US as their biggest threat.....
I guess if the Russians can’t take Poland the Poles can’t keep it.
These guys are insane. Threatening millions of people with nuclear attack because they exercise a sovereign right to protect themselves (defensive system) indicates to me there is a cabal in Russia drunk with power and delusions of grandeur.
So “Tomorrow the World” is back in fashion, eh?
WHO, or what, all-of-a-sudden made the Imperial State of Mutha’ Russha’ impervious to a bright white blast. Hell, this SHOULD have been done in 1946.
The Russians keep digging a deeper hole....
I don’t think they are drunk with power, I think they are just drunk.
The world needs to pressure Putin to denounce his generals statement.
The world needs to denounce Putin for his and his generals statements.
Glad to see that Russia cleared out the Stalin wanna-bes from the army post Soviet breakup.
/s off
Nothing new here. Russians don’t speak. They and their mothers simply bark. I gew up with Nikita’s famous line “we will bury you!” Hey Niki, guess who’s still standing!

Somebody should point out to this ‘general’ that the prevailing winds will blow that stuff right back over Russia.
What is to keep Poland from going nuclear themselves? If I were Polish that would be the obvious thing to do given their historical struggles as a nation.

Ahamdinnerjihad says Israel will be wiped off the map, and now their ally, Russia, says Poland is in danger of “a strike.” Maybe China will say Taiwan and/or Tibet is in danger of a strike (after the Olympics) thus completing the trifecta for the commie/islamofascist axis.
"We're gonna..."
"
...nuke you. Now get some Vodka."
BTW two of the big-hatted generals seem to be asleep (or drunk... or both). Off with their heads!
I wonder if the Euroweenies will at least attempt to flex any muscle in response given Poland’s in the EU.
