Russia threatens to nuke Poland

Posted 15 Aug 2008 in 2008 election, Barack Obama, stupidity, war

Yet another reason why Barack Obama is consistently wrong on the issues.

MOSCOW – A top Russian general said Friday that Poland’s agreement to accept a U.S. missile interceptor base exposes the ex-communist nation to attack, possibly by nuclear weapons, the Interfax news agency reported.

The statement by Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn is the strongest threat that Russia has issued against the plans to put missile defense elements in former Soviet satellite nations.
…
“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.

Russia’s recent aggression against Georgia and this sabre-rattling against Poland make an even stronger case against BarryO’s spineless disarmament proposals back in February.

  • …I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems…
  • …I will not weaponize space…
  • …I will slow development of future combat systems…
  • …and I will institute a “Defense Priorities Board” to ensure the quadrennial defense review is not used to justify unnecessary spending…
  • …I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons…
  • …and to seek that goal, I will not develop nuclear weapons…
  • …I will seek a global ban on the development of fissile material…
  • …and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert…
  • …and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals…

Do we really want a Commander-In-Chief who preemptively backs down?
