Soviet Russia threatens former bloc countries

Today, members of the Russian government and military have threatened the Ukraine and Poland. The Ukraine and Poland are allies of the United States just like Georgia.

Soviet Russia is expressing its power lately against Georgia because of Georgia's pro-NATO views and that Russia believes that two regions of Georgia belong to Russia. This conflict between Russia and Georgia is more than these two countries, in many of the missiles that Russia sent to destroy sites within Georgia there were messages on them and they were not pro-American and pro-NATO.

Below are two news stories about Soviet Russia's plans to attack the Ukraine and Poland. (This is something you should know...the power players in the United States' Democratic Party are siding with Soviet Russia.)

Russia: Poland risks attack because of US missiles

Aug 15, 7:23 AM (ET)

MOSCOW (AP) - A top Russian general said Friday that Poland's agreement to accept a U.S. missile defense battery exposes ex-communist nation to attack, possibly by nuclear weapons, the Interfax news agency reported.

The statement by Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn is the strongest threat that Russia has issued against the plans to put missile defense elements in former Soviet satellite nations.

Poland and the United States on Thursday signed a deal for Poland to accept a missile interceptor base as part of a system the United States says is aimed at blocking attacks by rogue nations. Moscow, however, feels it is aimed at Russia's missile force.

"Poland, by deploying (the system) is exposing itself to a strike - 100 percent," Nogovitsyn, the deputy chief of staff, was quoted as saying.

He added, in clear reference to the agreement, that Russia's military doctrine sanctions the use of nuclear weapons "against the allies of countries having nuclear weapons if they in some way help them." Nogovitsyn that would include elements of strategic deterrence systems, he said, according to Interfax.

U.S. officials have said the timing of the deal was not meant to antagonize Russian leaders at a time when relations already are strained over the recent fighting between Russia and Georgia over the South Ossetia region.

Russia, Ukraine tensions rise

Tension between Russia and Ukraine is escalating, with Ukraine demanding to be informed of the movements of Russian warships based in its waters.

Ukrainian President Viktor Yuschenko has signed a decree which requires the command of Russia's Black Sea fleet to seek permission to move ships outside its Ukraine base.

Under the rules, the Russians are expected to submit an application for approval 10 working days before any ship movement.

Moscow has dismissed the decree as not serious and against the spirit of a Friendship and Co-operation Treaty the two countries have.

Ships from Russia's Black Sea fleet have been sitting off Georgia in response to the South Ossetian conflict, and have reported sinking at least one Georgian naval vessel.
