Don't fall for this trap. They want an outcry out of Poland. Ignore them.

Yep.
Poland should respond, "These are defensive missles, and we will not be attacking Russia, so we don't care. That said, Russia might think about a more needed deployment near China."

That they should. If Putin doesn't watch it he'll go down in history as the guy who lost the far Eastern district to China. As it stands Vladivostok is pert near Chinese (and Korean) now anyway. Advertisements to learn Chinese were nearly double the ones to learn English when I was there.

Russia would be better off putting these defense systems on their border with China... or on their Southern border along the flight paths from Iran.

These systems are probably for Iran. They just don't want to sell them directly.
To: Grzegorz 246
Put them somewhere where Muslims can steal them and sell them to Iran?
Hmm....

It's not about stealing by Muslims.
Russian authorities know, that if they sold this equipment to Iran openly - such a move could ruin their relations with U.S.
But Russia and Belarus are friends. So no one should complain if Russia gives for free these air defense systems to a friend.
Belarus and Iran are also friends, both being autocracies, and anti-U.S. rogue states.
So the Russians can't help, if ungrateful Belorussians sell this generous gift to Iran (sarcasm)

I think it is a part of Moscows 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. Wrong. Belarus and Russia has a common air-defence system with a joint command. Those S-300 missiles are to secure the western approach to Russia and Belorus.
As simple as that. And nobody cares for the Minister Sikorski position. Frankly, I can't get why it may worsen.
To: x5452
Yep, definitely. Especially having in mind this fragment.
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.
But you still cheering Russo-Belorussian "struggle" against vicious NATO? Somehow I'm not surprised

Will you be happy when those S-300s shoot down aircrafts with this roundel? Over Poland, or over Iran, or over Syria

NATO on Clinton's orders bombed Serbia, killing Christians to advance the cause of Al Qaeda. It can hardly be taken for granted that everything Poles are doing in their airspace is either NATO related, or for the common good.
Poland, as you folk have well noted, has been nationalistics, and interventionalistic throughout the region and its good to have a check against the gross interventionalism Poland has been exhibiting before they do something crzy like act unilaterally outside of NATO to attack something and cause a war.

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.

Yes, I also think, that the situation of Brazilian rain-forests is getting worse, and worse every year.
