“Considering Poland was threatened with nuclear attack; they proved their test of courage — once again”
This was just some rather aggressive political posturing, though it is only going to inflame the domino-chain of events in eastern europe. Obviously, if Poland places strategic assets like anti-missile stuff in their country, they can assume they are on the nuke target list. Does anyone think the polish leadership didn’t understand this?
What no-one seems to be able to say is that if events reach the point where poland is getting a nuke sent at it, we are already at world war three (or, as said in Wargames, Global Thermonuclear War) and maybe posters should consider the broader picture (unless you live in poland).
Events in russia/eastern europe now are proceeding at an alarming pace. The crimean black sea naval port seems the likely next flash point.

I’ve discussed the scenario of Poland being nuked. It would be disastrous for Russia to do it. What would Russia gain by nuking Poland? I’m not trying to diminish Poland’s courage, but it would be incredibly foolish of Russia to carry out such a rash threat.
If Poland had cowered in fear, Russia’s threat would have worked. But since they stand firm and defiant, now Russia is forced with a stupid choice or a slightly embarassed choice.
