This was the papers quote not mine.

I know. I was referring to the insanity of proliferating Warsaw with 'antimissiles'. What a way to make enemies.

celinski:
Neither NATO nor the European Union can provide sufficient security to calm Poland's fears, particularly with Russia now resurgent to its east, and so the government in Warsaw wants the United States to base part of its planned antimissile system here to provide an American guarantee of safety, according to Poland's defense minister.


farcical.


Why do you think so Bubba?

True. But close distance relationship can be far more disastrous in the end. You know, the whole collision of interests, etc...

polands fears of russia are irrational and the eu and nato are more than capable of defending poland if push comes to shove. poland is deluding itself thinking that america has any agenda other than self-interest by placing its missile system on polish soil.

if poland wants to strengthen its ties with america over those with the eu then fair enough. but as you say, close distant relationships need a special understanding and if you p!ss of your neighbours, who knows what they might chuck over the garden fence.

so whilst the eu and nato are capable of providing the security that poland feels it needs against a perceived threat from russia, the time might arise where the question to be asked is 'do they want to?'
