Poland is not playing on Russia's nerves over missiles. Russia has muddled and taken everything out of context. Poland poses no threat to Russia in any way.

I really don't understand the meaning for this crazy decision , but the response from Russia should be simple , just place the Iskanders-K in Kaliningrad region and the problem will be resolve but Russia has to do something about it because tomorrow another Patriots missiles will be in place near Russia but if that's the case let the Americans do what everything they want is up to Russia to response to this treason that the US is making with Russia lets see what kind of response Russia will give , but if that is not case the only one to lose in this matter is Russia and it will look weaker ,so let's see.

I really don't believe it's about 'looking weaker' or stronger Rodrigo, of course that is anyone’s first reaction to a hit in the face, political or otherwise. I think the response from Russia should not be simple at all , because when in the past someone can push button 1 + 2 and always get result 3 that is never a positive thing. looking weaker or stronger is the answer you get when you ask a General, in an information age outward appearance of aggression has complex results that flow in all directions until equal.

@nerves, you are correct. Poland itself poses no threat. Poland's leadership plays fear cards on their people. I believe it to be more of governmental rivalry that are centuries old. I have nothing against the people of Poland therefore I do not care for increasing rhetoric over this mess. However, the United States expansionist policies and involvement in every sphere of the world is troubling. To think they aren't using Poland to get closer to Russia would be an over sight. Therefore Russia should not react to Poland, but to the United States. I grow tired of Russia flirting with the United States, but I am sure they do so to avert disaster. However, cooperation also proves nothing with the US as NATO expands and wars start on boards and subterfuge is sponsored regardless as United States is more of a Train in its policies and politics. Again, I have nothing against American people either. It is just governments and their actions. Hopefully, these "educated" beings in power know how to avoid war.

Put on auto sequence-monitor. No red phone. Georgia [US proxy] lost.US and proxy Poland want rematch..Destroy them as you would any enemy of RF! Anything less is"gutless" puts RF national security deterrent-nukes at risk!

I think it's time the Russians should stop playing "footsies" with the US and place missiles in Cuba and Venezuela and maybe then the spreaders of "democracy" will stop starting color revolutions and building missiles bases at the borders of Russia; Being nice surely isn't paying any dividends at least in the short term it seems. Russia could also just wait patiently until the US collapses economically which appears a sure thing and their worthless dollar would make them militarily impotent. Fred.......oregon, usa

Love you Fred, but the world will prop up US [worthless] dollar currency for fear US failure will make world fail also! The world "still" believes world biggest lie, "when US sneezes world catches a cold and they act accordingly doing whatever US dictates they do to keep them a float. ---..Now for those who think GBI's [Ground Based Interceptors] placed in Poland are benign 'think again":Once US military base - personnel are established US will "ADD" any weapons it decides, including nukes for announced policy of "Preemptive First Strike" advantage destroying RF ability to get off a "RETALIATION" US plans occupation of global natural resources.US.has make no secret it "COVETS" RF oil, gas, world's largest fresh water supply [what wars are-will be fought over] and vast natural mineral resources. PM Putin when president out maneuvered US proxy Georgia and won. US want a rematch with RF utilizing its military - weapons bases in Poland its willing proxy on RF border. Poland is enjoying its terror US will cause RF even at Poland's expense. That is how hateful Poland and most former Soviet states are.prompted by former President George W.Bush via money - weapons.They have sold their souls to the devil to his delight.

sj, Fred, You understand what is going on! And certainly if Russia put missiles in Cuba orVenezuala targeted against rogue nations, we could count on the US support, at this time, as they see nothing wrong with missiles targeting rogue states. Hey do you think they might even share some of the costs of us putting missiles there, as they are always trying to be so helpful.

True security comes only from having good relations with your neighbors. Poland does not understand this. I think that the reason why Poland wants US missiles and bases on its territory in order to increase the likelihood of US assistance in case of war, because the US is too far away and NATO, regardless of its rhetoric, is not a guarantee of defense. Poland knows this and is scared that it will be left for dead (and it will be for sure), should anything happen. By having as many US assets as possible on its territory, the US will be obligated to defend its interests, whether it wants to or not. This all goes to show how weak the Polish position is.

Poland, Georgia and all other countries which were "imposed democracy" after the fall of the Soviet Union, including my Yugoslavia, are like "ticks on a dog's tail, competing to be better to ring." America and its allies were the one who helped "the Democrats" to come to power, then "Democrats" are doing everything to prove that their sponsors not just made a mistake choosing them. That is why they are doing everything possible to satisfy "Big Brother", and even more to maintain them in power. In the case of Poland it is certainly the case. Bearing in mind that the "Patriot II or Mk III is not as good as even first generation Russian S300 system"there is a real possibility that the Polish authorities estimated that for something like that could be praised by big brother. The truth is that they do not have a clean conscience towards the Russians.
