Poland and the United States on Thursday signed a deal for Poland to accept a missile interceptor base as part of a system the United States says is aimed at blocking attacks by rogue nations. Moscow, however, feels it is aimed at Russia's missile force.
"Poland, by deploying (the system) is exposing itself to a strike — 100 percent," Nogovitsyn, the deputy chief of staff, was quoted as saying.
He added, in clear reference to the agreement, that Russia's military doctrine sanctions the use of nuclear weapons "against the allies of countries having nuclear weapons if they in some way help them." Nogovitsyn that would include elements of strategic deterrence systems, he said, according to Interfax.
This is not rational behavior. Imagine that: nuclear annihilation for simply cooperating with the United States on a defensive issue!
So much for the old Soviet "no first nuke strike" policy. Out the window with the new, crazier-than-ever Russia.
Putin and his puppet, the so-called "elected" Mr. Whats-his-name, ain't no Gorbachevs. And they make Yeltsin look like a freedom-and-peace saint.
Darth Vladimir and Mr. Whatshisname are mad, mad, mad in every sense of the word.
Very well, then, the Free World will retrain its nukes towards Moscow again.
And Russia can forget about having any influence over the Free World in terms of dealing with Russia's Axis of Evil partners such as Iran. No longer shall we listen to what Russia thinks.
