POLISH SOLDIERS PARADE
AT THE TOMB OF
THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER
WARSAW, POLAND, 1981
This is the week that American Patriot missiles arrived in Poland.
On May 26, 2010, AFP reported that Polish Defence Minister Bogdan Klich "formally welcomed the 100-strong US unit that had arrived at a Polish army base in the northern town of Morag at the weekend, and viewed the three unarmed Patriot missile launchers which Polish troops will be trained to use.
"'Your arrival here in Poland has two dimensions, political and symbolic. Politically, it's about Poland's security. And symbolically because on Polish soil, for the first time, US soldiers will be stationed long-term,' he [Klich] said." [italics added]
Morag is only sixty kilometers, less than forty miles, from Russia.
But of course the missile placement has nothing to do with Russia....
