US missile defense base in Poland long among Russian army’s targets — Foreign Ministry
TASS ^ | 11/20/24 | Maria Zakharova

Posted on 11/21/2024 8:00:57 PM PST by hardspunned

MOSCOW, November 21. /TASS/. The US missile defense base in Poland has long been considered a priority target for potential neutralization by the Russian Armed Forces, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated during a briefing.

"Given the level of threats posed by such Western military facilities, the missile defense base in Poland has long been included among the priority targets for potential neutralization. If necessary, this can be achieved using a wide range of advanced weaponry," the diplomat said.

Zakharova stated that the US-NATO construction project, ongoing for nearly a decade with complete disregard to Russian security concerns, has consistently been a focus of Russia's attention. She emphasized that Russia has spent these years preparing countermeasures in response.

Zakharova described the establishment of such a base as yet another blatantly provocative move, calling it part of "a series of deeply destabilizing actions by the Americans and their North Atlantic allies in the strategic sphere."

"This move aligns with the longstanding and destructive practice of advancing NATO's military infrastructure closer to Russia's borders," the spokeswoman stated. "Such actions undermine strategic stability. Coupled with other harmful military-political and military-technical measures aimed at projecting US power thousands of kilometers from its own territory to exert pressure on Russia and other nuclear powers, this inevitably heightens strategic risks and, consequently, raises the overall level of nuclear danger," Zakharova added.

I have said for over a year that WWIII would commence along the Polish border when the Russians finally had had enough of the killing of Russian citizens in Mother Russia by American weapons, supplied, maintained, targeted and fired by Americans.

Putin demonstrated his Oreshnik missile today. He said he would give notice before his next retaliatory escalation, live MIRVs on those Oreshnik missiles! If you listen to his full address today, it renders down to a basic declaration of war on the U.S. and Britain. Putin promise to use “live” Oreshniks on military assets. I believe we have been warned.

Say a prayer that no more NATO missiles will be launched into Russia.

MOSCOW, November 21. /TASS/. There are currently no countermeasures for the Oreshnik missile, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

Speaking in a televised address, the head of state assured that Russia will issue notifications before using this type of missile.

"We will do it due to humanitarian concerns - openly, publicly, without any concerns about any countermeasures from the enemy, who will also receive this information," Putin said. "Why without any concerns? Because there are currently no countermeasures for this weapon at this moment."

WTF?

I do feel sad at Mother Russia's disappointment that she will not be able to land missiles on Poland as easily as she had planned.

I have not heard about any resulting Russian deaths from this installation.

If Putin attacks any NATO country (for any reason, good or bad), he will get a NATO response. It wouldn’t matter if Biden or Trump was in charge.

And that’s what the warmongers in the West want. They want an escalation. Just don’t do it, Mr. Putin. Don’t be goaded into an unwise response. Instead, wait for Trump 2.0 to take office. Wait for Trump to broker a negotiated peace.

Putin may be overly ambitious. He may be stupid. But he is not suicidal. He will bluff but he will not start a war with NATO. He is have a hard enough time with Ukraine. What makes anyone think that he would actually start a war with NATO?

“I feel sad at Mother Russia’s disappointment that she will not be able to land missiles on Poland as easily as she had planned.”

That’s Rich!

I guess that was all a light show in those videos, huh? Seriously, what you saw falling with impunity can’t be targeted 200 miles to west? They’re IRBMs, brainiac! They travel up to MACH 20. The Russians have the ability to deploy them, uncontested, anywhere in Europe.

Want to hear the funniest thing of all? Up until 2019 this whole class of weapon system was banned. There were NONE! We, Trump, unilaterally withdrew from the treaty! You want to talk “missile gap”? FRiend, we’ve got a doozy today.

Wonder how many remember? This concept of a site in Poland was created 2005-2007 supposedly to defend against any missiles launched from the Middle East or North Africa.
The Russians said they thought it was a good idea and asked to be partners with us in the project.
That was one of the first times we flipped them the finger and said no way. They took that as a sign it was aimed at them.

Part of our careful cultivation of Russia into an enemy, and ignoring them several times trying to offer a friendly hand to the west.

We had to withdraw from it. We offered a weak justifications, but the truth is that we needed out of it so we could field missiles with enough range to base on our Pacific islands and still have enough range to get deep into China.

I’m sitting on pins and needles watching for news. So far, I don’t believe we’ve called the Russian bluff and been wrong again.

Shove Russia.

It’s sickening reading your love letters to Mother Russia.

Get a room already.

“We have been warned!!!”

President Trump pulled out of the treaty because Putin was ignoring it.

You’ve got to look at it from Putin’s point of view. Putin has no idea who the F he’s even dealing with in DC. Project Ukraine has been absolute catastrophic lunacy from day one.

What if we really do declare war on the Mexican drug lords and Russia decides to do exactly what we are doing in Ukraine, using Ukraine as a weapon to destabilize Russia. What does Trump do when Putin gives the drug lords Iskanders and Russian “volunteers” to launch warheads at Dallas and LA?

Trump would do exactly what JFK did and what Putin will do. Sounds to me like if more NATO missiles hit Mother Russia, Poland is going to have one base obliterated.

Assuming that happens, what do you think the mystery cabal in DC would do?

In a full scale war with Russia Poland will be the biggest loser. I hope that never happens. There's alot of US troops there.

President Trump did reactivate V Corp and move its European headquarters forward, to Poland, during the Cold War it had been in Germany.

Trump told Putin he would launch on Moscow if Putin invaded Ukraine.

“If necessary, this can be achieved using a wide range of advanced weaponry,” the diplomat said.”

Translation (Russian to English): “Advanced Weaponry” >> “ZAP”

So no humans getting killed or injured. The question for the Neocons is whether the zapping of a weapon built by DEI idiots is worth WW3. We’ll likely find out in the next 2 months.

“And that’s what the warmongers in the West want.”

Yup. Lots of money in war. Example: Rockerfellers made a stupid amount of money in WWII.

Some of the scumbags do not care about the human cost. And it’s not just the West, it’s also the East especially China and Russia (would Putin please just go away). They have their oligarchs too.

What’s ironic is they think Trump is an oligarch. He’s not. Trump is so wealthy money doesn’t even matter to him. Only reason Trump is running is he actually cares about the United States.

If they don’t take Trump out, he can maybe delay the conflict for four or so years.

That conflict will be Russia vs China. It’s happened before. If we are smart, we will stay out of it.

Oh yeah, they both have nukes.

The reality is China is falling apart. Ditto Russia. War is always a way to direct away from internal strife. I can run through history from Rome to Greece to the Aztecs.
