Poland’s US Patriot missiles close to Russian border US Patriot missiles, due to arrive in Poland in April, will be located in Morag, northern Poland, instead of in the suburbs of Warsaw, as was originally supposed. The Ministry of Defence assured Wednesday that Morag, a town situated 100 km away from the Kaliningrad Russian border, was chosen to host Patriot missiles and American military base because it had good conditions to house the barracks and technology. “Logistic and technical reasons were crucial,” Janusz Sejmej from the Defence Ministry told private radio station RMF FM. “There were no considerations here of a strategic nature,” confirmed Defence Minister Bogdan Klich in an interview for the daily Gazeta Wyborcza. However, Pavel Felgengauer, a Russian military analyst said that placing the Patriots near the Russian border is could be construed as an unfriendly gesture and will certainly come under sharp criticism from the Kremlin. “The appearance of American soldiers in Russia’s vicinity will be a nail in a coffin in US-Russia relations,” said Felgengauer. The Patriot missile battery will contain four to eight missiles and will be operated by 100 American soldiers redeployed from a base in Germany. =========================== Stop NATO http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopnato Blog site: http://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/ To subscribe, send an e-mail to: rwroz...@yahoo.com or stopnato-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Daily digest option available. ============================== --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: arch...@mail-archive.com EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.bNM5nn.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: antinato-unsubscr...@topica.com For Topica's complete suite of email marketing solutions visit: http://www.topica.com/?p=TEXFOOTER --^----------------------------------------------------------------
