"We'll nuke Poland" says Russian general. Yeah? Well I'll tell my mother on you!

It seems that Russia has entered a silly season all of its own, if this piece below is any indication.

Can't say that I am all that impressed by what has to be a barely credible veiled threat to use nuclear weapons by Анатолий Алексеевич Ноговицын. [Pic from U.K. Telegraph]

If it looks like a nong, and talks like a nong - then it's a nong as far as I'm concerned.
Don't think the Kremlin was too happy with Anatoly either. Tsk. tsk.

"Poland agreed on Thursday to host elements of a US global anti-missile system after Washington agreed to boost Poland's own military air defences.

"The USA is engaged in an anti-missile defence for its own government, and not for Poland. And Poland, in deploying (elements of the system) opens itself to a military strike. That is 100 percent," Interfax quoted Nogovitsyn as saying.

Nogovitsyn said Russia allows nuclear weapons to be used in circumstances defined by its current security doctrine.

The Russian government revamped its national security doctrine in 2000, broadening the range of conflicts in which nuclear weapons could be used."

Why Anatoly thinks nukes are needed is not all that obvious when Russia can just walk in and bash down the bedroom door anywhere it likes, courtesy of Bush, Blair and Howard's previous comprehensive trashing of international law.

There is absolutely no need for the Russian Government to pretend it has kultury when these three amigos publicly turned barbarian.

One thing's for sure - this is going to make 'fitness to lead' a bigger question in the U.S. presidential race, if Russia continues to throw its military might around and threatens to nuke the Ukraine as well if it signs on the dotted line for the U.S. anti-missile network.
