Protecting Poland
Following it’s aggression in Georgia, the Russian bear issued a nuclear threat to the nation of Poland. Poland, for its part, agreed to host the missile component of the U.S.’s missile shield. Russia has reserved the “right” to use nuclear weapons in a first strike if Poland goes ahead with the missile deal with Washington. The Russians calculated this threat incorrectly. By demonstrating their willingness to nuke a country for doing nothing more than protecting itself from undue aggression, the Russian menace has demonstrated its imperialistic desires with regard to Eastern Europe. While Poland was some what reluctant to host the missiles before the Georgian invasion, no such reluctance now exists. It is akin to them putting on a bullet proof vest after their neighbor has been shot and the shooter then turned their sites to Poland.
Damn Russia.
