Russia will adequately respond to the creation of a new American military base in Poland — it will simply redirect its missiles to its western neighbor in order to localize a possible threat.. So commented on the news from Warsaw member Franco Klintsevich, a comet of the Federation Council for Defense and Security. Earlier today, Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak on Polish radio said that the creation of a US military base on Polish territory, Fort-Trump, is an already resolved issue that "is beyond doubt". According to him, disputes are now being conducted not around the deployment of American troops in Poland, but around how this will happen, which troops need to be deployed.. "Certainly, Russia has an extensive military potential, very high-precision long-range weapons, and the fact that if such a base is created there will be a re-targeting in order to localize the threat, this is definitely. We unequivocally perceive this base as a clear threat to us, "said Klintsevich to RIA Novosti. Moscow, he believes, has no other choice, because this deployment of US bases "will take place near our borders and the Union State, we have no right not to react to this". The senator remarked that the Americans no longer mask the strengthening of their presence in Eastern Europe and the new military formations, allegedly because of the need to repel the threat from Iran, as it was before.. "We have repeatedly said that the population of countries where US bases will appear will be very seriously endangered if aggressive actions are taken against Russia from these bases, and this should not be forgotten," Klintsevich concluded..

Vladimir Kozhin, the first deputy chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security, agrees with him, calling the "direct and obvious threat" of the Russian Federation to create a state base in the immediate vicinity of our borders.

“Russia will have to respond to this,” he added.. The establishment of the Polish-American working group on the deployment of a permanent US base in the republic, Pan Blaszczak announced at the end of this September.. Then he said that there were many places in the country where the American military could be deployed, but did not name the specific place.
