Just curious on your thoughts?  Do you actually consider this a shocking or alarming statement?  I've been a bit shocked with how some people have viewed it.  As from my perspective, he's just stating the obvious. Shrugs...

Just being near Russia exposes Poland to attack.  Hence, the missle defense system.   ::)

My thoughts are that it is an empty threat for the present, and it will really piss off the Poles instead of cowing them.

Unlike the 1939 invasion the Poles are not just going to let themselves get run over and niether will Europe once they remember what happened the last time someone started knocking on the Poles door. It will of course end up with us once again standing the bad guys off but then again who else could do it?
