Russia threatens to attack new US base in Poland with ‘advanced weapons’

Russia has threatened to attack a new US defense base in Poland with “advanced weapons” — just hours after reportedly launching an intercontinental ballistic missile at Ukraine on Thursday.
Moscow leveled the warning after saying the opening of the ballistic missile defense base, located in the town of Redzikowo near the Baltic coast, would lead to an increase in overall nuclear danger.
“Given the nature and level of threats posed by such Western military facilities, the missile defense base in Poland has long been added to the list of priority targets for potential destruction, which, if necessary, can be executed with a wide range of advanced weapons,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said.
The US base at Redzikowo, which opened Nov. 13, is part of a broader NATO missile shield — known as “Aegis Ashore” — that can intercept short- to intermediate-range ballistic missiles, according to the alliance.
“This is another frankly provocative step in a series of deeply destabilizing actions by the Americans and their allies in the North Atlantic Alliance in the strategic sphere,” Zakharova said of the base’s opening.
“This leads to undermining strategic stability, increasing strategic risks and, as a result, to an increase in the overall level of nuclear danger.”
Poland stressed that the base does not pose a threat and does not hold nuclear missiles.
“It is a base that serves the purpose of defense, not attack,” said Pawel Wronski, Poland’s foreign ministry spokesperson.
“Such threats will certainly serve as an argument to strengthen Poland’s and NATO’s air defenses, and should also be considered by the United States.”

This base has been under construction for quite some time, has it not?
"the missile defense base in Poland has long been added to the list of priority targets for potential destruction, which, if necessary, can be executed with a wide range of advanced weapons"
'Long been added...', this is just typical saber rattling being ginned up for the theater of the moment. Just stop.

If all they said was that the site was “added to the list of priority targets”, that, alone, is not a “threat to attack”

Good to see even the ny post on board with the neocons and globalists.
We’ll get that WWIII before Trump enters office and those here who would die for a comedian can celebrate! :)

Oh no! SATAN missiles? Hydro nuclear shockwave warheads? Advanced fighters? Pavlovian class carriers?
Or maybe a wave of drugged out NORKS.
MAGA world knows Trump will end the forever wars. But has anyone thought he may stop them by winning them? I’m not so sure Trump likes premature withdrawal or likes being bullied.

“The media will blame it all on Trump.”
**************
The certainly will, but nobody will listen to them. They have totally destroyed their own credibility and are in free fall.

Russia keeps griping about ‘encroachment’, yet they keep attacking neighbors and threatening to attack more neighbors.
What do they expect their neighbors to do, roll over and play dead like everyone did in the late 1930s when Hitler (sorry I pulled a godwins here) was arming itself to it’s teeth and threatening everyone?

WoW. It’s just occurring to me that maybe the same kind of experts who said Harris would win is running in the same flock as the experts who say Russia will never nuke the west.

There is zero need to win a war which was unnecessary, unprovoked on homeland USA, and being supported with BORROWED MONEY which we can never pay back the principle. Our children and grandchildren are stuck paying interest on the money spent in Ukraine in PERPETUITY.

So long as Russia is not threatening USA, and since we are in national debt to our eyeballs, it is worse than stupid to keep increasing national debt for unprovoked wars on motherland USA. Europe is rich with less national debt than USA. Let them manage their neighborhood.

Americans live in an entertainment-media-debt bubble. Only a small minority of Americans pay attention to what’s going on in Ukraine or the mid-east
Therefore neocons in DC have complete freedom to do as they wish, without suffering consequences. Its been this way for 50 years.
Nothing will change US deep-state / neocon thinking until something so shocks the American public, they are forced to.

Exactly.
Billions made on the equipment and in the aid kickbacks.
Not sure they’ll let Trump take office at this point.

Didn’t Hearst papers start the Spanish American War? The media loves neocons.

Remember what happened when Russia put missiles in Cuba (after the US put missiles in Turkey). Kennedy was ready to go to war. Please tell me about me about your theory of "encroachment"

It's occurred to me for some time - the same people who:
1) Said COVID-19(84) came from nature
2) that the va666ines were "safe AND effective"
3) that a man in a woman's dress is "a woman"
4) that two homosexual men can reproduce
5) that two lesbian women can reproduce
We are in an age of delusional lies
These people are fulfilling Isaiah 5:20 every single day of the week

I suspect the main difference between what we believe is I think we are much further along that eschatological timeline than you seem to.
