Russian general threatens nuclear strike on Poland as Bush demands Moscow withdraws from Georgia

By GottaLaff

H/t to Ace Reporter Jack for finding me this comforting little tidbit:

Russia reacted furiously today to an announcement that Poland is to host an American global anti-missile shield.

General Anatoly Nogovitsyn said that by accepting the missile defence battery Poland "is exposing itself to a strike".

"By hosting these, Poland is making itself a target. This is 100 percent certain," Russia's Interfax news agency quoted General Anatoly Nogovitsyn as saying.

"It becomes a target for attack. Such targets are destroyed as a first priority."

That Bush! He's such a combative little scamp! He just loves provoking other countries into scary, threatening, doomsday behavior. Gosh, but he's decisive and tough! Wait... wait just a darn minute. Those words, "decisive and tough"... who else is trying to create that image? ::Buzzzz! Times up!::

This guy.

Referring to the missile shield, General Nogovitsyn said 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," Interfax said.

"Do unto others" suddenly takes on a whole new meaning.
