Sputnik: Redeployment of US Nukes to Poland Would Be Direct Violation of Russia-NATO Agreement, Lavrov Warns
Russian officials have already repeatedly warned in the past that its Eastern European neighbours' decision to host US-made strategic systems, including components of America's Aegis Ashore missile defence system, make them targets for Russia's strategic nuclear response in the event of a war.
The redeployment of US nuclear weapons from Germany to Poland would be a direct violation of the Russia-NATO founding act of 1997, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said.

"Redeployment of US Nukes to Poland Would Be Direct Violation of Russia-NATO Agreement, Lavrov Warns"
Who gives a flying fuck what the Russians want!
You can make valid arguments either about basing nukes in Poland.
Maybe Russia is getting the negotiating partner it deserves. People being people, there will be squabbles, bloodshed and internecine warfare in any country. But Russia had a hand in feeding disninformation to Chris Steel. which is all perfectly 'legal' spycraft.
If or when Democrats get control, maybe total control, they may try to dial it back and have the latest round of 'smart' diplomacy. But it may be lie a potlatch. Nancy Pelosi did say that the US should charge Russia for shipping 200 ventilators to Russia. TYhe octogenarian might still realize that sending those 200 ventilators is good diplomacy. She might know the concept of a gift economy (anthropology) and its need.
But she might get her base whipped up to such a froth that the cognitive dissonance of dialing it back with Russia would lead to the guillotine by her base. She would rather avoid that very near short term threat and rather court one with Russia.
Russia might admit that they fed disinformation to Christ Steel and let Chris, his British Handlers, his American conspirators and the Democrat Party take their deserved hit.
Flynn was going to shake up the intel community. He wrote a paper about Gulen, H 1B abuse, and the funding kick back from the visas holders to Gulen to the Clintons.
Then The Empire struck back and it was insinuated in a WSJ article that he conspired to kidnap Gulen. As a bad man it was okay to now take him out. Any truth t the article? Why no follow up. It is a serious charge. The Editorial page of the WSJ maybe conservative, but other ages are a box of chocolates.
The Russians might want to consider if they want to deal with Flynn and Trump or a basketfull of despicables like Hillary and the other reprobate liars.
All the Russians have to do is come clean with just the Steel Dossier.
If the intel community did what they did to Flynn, what might have the upper ranks have done before?
"There was not this official investigation into anything, but I’m forever now gonna be open to the possibility that they set George W. Bush up on weapons of mass destruction to embarrass him. They never were happy he won that election in 2000 after the Florida recount. You go back and look at various things that happened, you see them in a new light once you learn other things." - El Rushbo
The Russians have to make a choice. Do they want a stable nuclear power for a neighbor or one run by pathological liars and thieves like Obama and Hillary?
