Russia threatens to attack Poland

More very troubling news about Russia's building antagonism towards its other eastern European neighbors: following the announcement of a deal between the US and Poland to supply the latter with special Patriot missiles, Russia has threatened an attack on them as well:
A top Russian general said Friday that Poland's agreement to accept a U.S. missile interceptor base exposes the ex-communist nation to attack, possibly by nuclear weapons, the Interfax news agency reported.
This report in Pravda (via Power Line) reveals more:
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia warns Poland that it may become a priority target for Russia in the event the USA deploys elements of its missile defense system on the territory of this East European nation. To put it in a nutshell, Russia may strike a nuclear blow on Poland, which is possible after the recent change of the Russian Federation defense doctrine.

"The USA is busy with its own missile defense system; it does not intend to defend Poland at this point. Poland lays itself open to attack giving the USA a permission to deploy the system. The country may become an object of Russia's reaction. Such targets are destroyed in the first instance," Anatoly Nogovitsin, Russia's Deputy Chief of Staff said commenting the recent agreement regarding the deployment of the US missile defense system in Poland.

Nogovitsin stated that Russia may use nuclear weapons in cases as stipulated by the defense doctrine.

"It clearly states that we can use nuclear weapons against the countries possessing nuclear weapons, against allies of such countries, if they somehow support them, and against those countries, which deploy other countries' nuclear weapons on their territories. Poland is aware of it," the general said.
Russia's overlords sure are using a lot of blame-the-victime tactics (to read more about their use of this tactic, here's an article in the Weekly Standard). And one can only wonder if they're incorrigable.

On a related note, Power Line says that John McCain is way ahead of Barack Obama on the issue of Russia's returning to communism. He certainly does seem to understand the threat that Russia currently imposes.
