POLAND TO SIGN US MISSILE SHIELD DEAL TONIGHT

why is this a reason, it's not even Russia said so.

Do you think Poland should just bow to Russia's threats?

"I believe that the events in Georgia caused the government finally to understand that black is black and white is white," Kaczynski told Polish television."

Do you think that Poland should avoid annoying Russia?

Especially if you want to have your own sensitivities taken into account (as Poland often does...and loudly so).

Like that helped in 1939, please.

USA will umbrella Poland

I'm glad that they don't appease too much.

Would be smarter, yes...

Than why did Germany back Poland’s claim to access EU in 2004?

But back to the point, should we avoid annoying Russia at all costs or only when the Americans are concerned?

I think Poland still needs to find their balance...

And it should be different today how?

aggreement with trusted allie if attacked they will help.

this is very similar to 1939.

In case you have forgotten it but it was a deal that for the Sovietunion to dissolve and peacefully to retreat from central Europe
that the West would make no moves which would feel threating to Russia - means no further NATO enlargement, no encirclement by the NATO.

for you the war never ended!

Well....and that differs from 1939 how???

If you recall you went home to Germany,

Today everyone knows all to well the cost of not protecting and having allies that will never let Poland, Ukraine or other ex's be taken over.

So please start spinning another record!

OK listen to the words to this one.

I listened...but....help me out here...:)

I cannot be there to protect Poland, maybe I argue with you so you will keep an eye on my loved one should they need it. :)

Sorry you see me as your enemy!

Look at this from their perspective. Russia agrees to dissolve Warsaw Pact and retreat it's soldiers from her former satellites (in Poland it took place in 1993 - I remember it perfectly) and make it a neutral "no mans land" just to find it being annexed to EU eleven years later. Why do you think it didn't "annoy" them? Because in case of access to the EU the side that stretched their influence in that part of Continent was Germany and France rather than USA?

why is Russia so easily annoyed?

For such a big powerful country, why is Russia so easily annoyed? Is it paranoia? Does Russia think little, peaceful Poland is going to rise up and give some "payback" or something just because Poland is in the EU? I don't get it.

You have a fantastic ability not to comment things that you don't understand even though it's the essence of the problem.
First and foremost Americans want to install missile shield in Poland to control airspace of Russia with help of radiolocators which go together with missile. The missiles itself are of none threat to Russia.

Shopgirl your problem is quite the same. This what you said is a pretty much amateurish point of view. You don't comprehend what the problem is, you like a man in the street judge the book by its cover. You don't even want to assume that the problem can be more complicated.

Yeah? So educate me. I'm listening.

You merely didn't want to see it. :))

What I think/now is based on my observations.

I think Russia's behavior is more complicated than simply reacting to what other countries do....I am sure they have an agenda. It just is not clear to me.

Now Russia basing on its military doctrine will HAVE to increase quantity of warheads, relocate known missile vehicles and aim some missiles to Poland.

Do you still think Europe needed that problem created by the US, by their straight military interests?

Russian military doctrine and my education background

I believe I already gave you the link where Russia says the site is not an issue, so what is it?

I take it USA made Russia attack Georgia and then not live up to their word that they would get out.

Russia is still living in lala land that Germany killed the Polish Katyn.

Russia Backs Away from Kaliningrad Missile Plans

The Kremlin showed Wednesday the first signs of de-escalation of a political conflict with Washington over a planned missile shield system. Moscow is backing away from plans to station missiles in Kaliningrad following overtures from the Obama administration, which has said it would review plans to install parts of the system in Poland and the Czech Republic.
