It seems Russia is really swinging a big stick threatening a nuclear strike against Poland if we deploy a missile system there. I think Ivan is holding all the cards and all the West can do is condemn things "in the strongest possible terms."
"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.
