You can use any other word here. When your neighbor allows your potential enemy to place there a nuclear weapon which targets you, this doesn't mean anything good for that neighbor. Like as I said, we already had this situation in 1962.

Do you have any other way to destroy the nuclear missile silos? It will be very interesting to hear about them.

How many military bases were created by Russia since its independence (1991)? How many by NATO? How many military conflicts were started by Russian army? How many by NATO armies? The one don't have to be a rocket scientist to find out who is the
real (not portrayed) aggressor.

Sure they are different. There were no nukes near Russian borders in 1962. Now Poles are going to allow the United States to use their country as a lunch pad for their nukes (wanna be their cannon fodder). Seems like now the situation is much worse than then. I'm not Nostradamus, but just believe me - if Poland will do that, the situation will get out of control immediately.

1) Kaliningrad is a Russian territory. Russia does not need for somebody's permission on where exactly it should store its nuclear missiles. Do the Americans ask somebody where they have to place nukes
inside of their own country?
2) They were in Kaliningrad for all the time. Nothing has really changed.

The annexation of Crimea was not an invasion. The Russian army has already been there and the population of Crimea has always identified itself as Russian citizens. So you can compare it with Kosovo. The only difference is that NATO has killed a lot of people there, while the Crimea was rejoined with no blood.
