The missiles in Poland are positioned to intercept Russian missiles
aimed at
the USA. I mean it's not like they can't reach the north pole is it?


Uh, no.....Russian ICBMs headed to North America could not be
intercepted from Poland.

And the 'early warning' stations on the Outer Hebrides are to protect
Stornaway right?

If the Ruskies get Stornoway it's only a hop, skip and a jump to Barra,
North and South Uist and *Benbecula*. Then it's game over.

They'll never get past Berneray!

OK, OK - I suppose I should have said 'The missiles are positioned to
intercept missiles aimed at 'USA forces' rather than the USA itself. What's
the difference? They are still an attempt to nuetralise Russia's retalitory
strike capability.
And if they are there 'to protect Warsaw' as some yank idiot claimed (I kid
you ot) then itn't it a bit odd that they should be arranged in a circle
around Russia? Are the Alaskan ones there 'to protect Warsaw' too?
Next it will be "to protect [insert favourite European city] from Iran's
[non-existant] missiles". Or maybe even Korea's. Let's face it - no-one in
the US knows where Korea is anyway. They'd all buy it.
