Polish President Andrzej Duda said Monday that NATO must respond to Russia deploying nuclear weapons to Belarus.
“I absolutely believe that such a situation demands an unequivocal response from NATO,” Duda said at a joint press conference in Paris with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, according to Bloomberg.
Duda didn’t specify what kind of response he had in mind, but he has previously said Poland wants to host US nuclear weapons. In October 2022, Duda said he was discussing the idea with Washington.
When Russian President Vladimir Putin announced his plans to deploy nukes to Belarus, he compared the move to NATO’s nuclear sharing program, under which Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Turkey host US nuclear weapons.
For now, there’s no sign that the US is considering deploying nuclear weapons further east in Europe. The State Department said last month that the Biden administration saw “no reason to adjust our strategic nuclear posture” in response to Russia sending nuclear weapons to Belarus.
Putin said last week that Russia will send tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus next month once the construction of storage facilities is completed, which is expected to happen by July 8.
More lunacy from Duda. And what can NATO do anyway. If NATO gets involved to help Poland, every member of NATO exposes itself to Russia’s military including their hypersonic weapons.
This idea that NATO is some mighty unified military force is delusional anyway. Almost all the main players are already in recession, their militaries are a joke and they are in conflict with each other (eg Germany and Poland).
The best western strategy is to take the L in Ukraine, reflect on the debacle and learn from it, use 10-15 years (minimum) to rebuild and then try to restore some form of relationship with Russia and BRICS. If current western leaders, who have failed dismally, have to go in the process then so be it. That includes Duda.
Here’s hoping that Andrzej Duda is just gearing up for the election – stationing NATO nukes in Poland does nothing for ‘our’ security quite the reverse, but saying so likely makes Andrzej Duda appear tough on Russia and thus will secure him more votes.
Oh God say it Ain’t So… Where does this GUSHER of hate get all its bile…??? What kink of fate caused this sea of bile the Obama, Biden, Clinton, Nuland freaks use to power their charity terror operation in Ukraine…????
Greed. They had designs on the “de-colonized” resources of a Russia broken up and sold off to Western interests.
That has already happened to those wonderfully rich Ukrainian agricultural lands. Their small farmers have been turned off their land, just like in Soviet times.
“we think it would be a good idea if you bring some nukes over here and set them up in our yard – certainly nothing could go wrong with our genius plan”
….. Assistant Chief Polack # 3
Russia will remove those missiles from Belarus, if Poland abides by the NATO founding act, and closes all new American/NATO bases in Poland, to include the one with cruise missile launchers capable of launching nuclear weapons.
Quite possible, but as events continue to unfold it becomes more difficult to get everything back into the box.
Is there any kind of ‘diplom-assy’ going on?…
“Poland Urges NATO Response to Russia Sending Nukes to Belarus Warsaw has previously called for the US to deploy nuclear weapons to Poland”
Perhaps the Polish public might not want to become ground zero for Megaton Nukes.
America has nukes in 6 NATO countries close to Russia. Ridiculous!
Poland sure has their kneepads out.
They do anything to be our friends up to inviting nukes onto their soil.
Yes, Sort of Belarus to Russia.
There is substantial evidence indicating that the Poles had been participating actively in the formation of death squads in Ukraine since September 2013. Also there is substantial evidence that the Right Sector militants were trained by Donald Tusk’s government in Poland two months in advance of what was obviously a pre-planned coup in Kiev.
The Polish press even published the role of Donald Tusk’s government in preparing the coup where the Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski invited 86 members of the Right Sector to the police training center in Legionowo. There, they received four weeks of intensive training in crowd management, person recognition, combat tactics, command skills, behavior in crisis situations, protection against gases used by police, erecting barricades, and shooting, including the handling of sniper rifles.
Donald Tusk, who is now President of the European Council, whose grandfather, Josef Tusk, served in Hitler’s Wehrmacht, has consistently demanded that the Kiev regime imposed by the US and EU deal with the Donbass people brutally, “as with terrorists”.
While the Polish special services were training the future participants of the Maidan operations and the ethnic cleansing of the Donbass, the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs made this official statement (02-02-2014): “We support the hard line taken by the Right Sector… The radical actions of the Right Sector and other militant groups of demonstrators and the use of force by protestors are justified… The Right Sector has taken full responsibility for all the acts of violence during the recent protests. This is an honest position, and we respect it. The politicians have failed at their peacekeeping function. This means that the only acceptable option is the radical actions of the Right Sector. There is no other alternative”.
In this statement by the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs we can see that the Polish government (NATO) is using violence (radical actions) as a means of ensuring the Ukrainian politicians fail in their peace keeping functions.
In Ukraine we can clearly see the role assigned by NATO to Poland in Ukraine. To overthrow the government of its neighbour state, Poland resorted to neo-Nazi activists in the same way that NATO Turkey used Al-Qaeda (Al Nusra Front) to overthrow the Syrian government.
After the Maidan the leaders of two right wing neo-Nazi organisations were rewarded with control of four ministries. For example, Andriy Parubiy, co-founder of the fascist Social National Party (SNPU), which later changed its name to Svoboda, became the new top commander of the National Defense and Security Council. (covering the military, police, courts and intelligence apparatus). The CIA renamed the organisation to “Svoboda,” meaning “Freedom,” to make it more acceptable to Americans.
Dmytro Yarosh, Right Sector commander, was second-in-command of the National Defense and Security Council. This is the man who organized and ran Ukraine’s February 22nd Coup in Kiev, and the May 2nd Massacre of Its Opponents in Odessa, for Barack Obama. Yarosh’s teams carried out the most violent operations for the CIA in Ukraine. They were responsible for the atrocities committed in the Donbass, for the ethnic cleansing campaigns and crimes against humanity.
Oleh Tyahnybok, co founder of the SNPU and currently the party leader of Svoboda, A self confessed neo-Nazi. He opposed the introduction of the Russian language as the second official state language; called for the lustration of former communist officials. He also proposed recognition of the fighting role of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and Ukrainian Insurgent Army during World War II.
Obama had chosen to spearhead Neo-Nazis into positions of authority. Under a “regime of indirect rule”, however they take their orders on crucial military and foreign policy issues including the deployment of troops directed against the Russian federation, from the the US State Department, the Pentagon and NATO. From fabricating an “invasion,” to the claims of “threatened” lives, to the labeling of Russians as “subhuman,” Yatsenyuk recited fully the script of Nazism used to justify its various historical crimes against humanity.
Kiev’s forces in eastern Ukraine were not fighting an “invasion,” but constituted an invading force themselves, making incursions into eastern Ukraine and holding territory only through unmitigated brutality against local populations clearly collaborating with armed self-defense forces intent on resisting nazism.
Its no coincidence that Victoria Nuland indicated the US had invested $5 billion on a regime change in Ukraine and its no coincidence that the CIA was in Kiev to ensure that this regime change occured. Its no coincidence that the Rand Corporation documented the necessary steps to genocide the eastern federations prior to the events and its no coincidence that Nazi organisations were enlisted to action the genocide. Obama needed to ethnically cleanse the Donbass to ensure that a pro Russian government could not be returned to power in Ukraine.
“To initiate a war of aggression,” said the Nuremberg Tribunal judges in 1946, “is not only an international crime, it is the supreme international crime, differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.”
The Maidan demonstrations in early 2014, which led to the overthrow of the legally elected Ukrainian government witnessed an estimated 15,000 people marching in celebration of Stepan Bandera’s 105th birthday. The neo-Nazi Svoboda Party along with the Fatherland Party of Yulia Tymoshenko both supported this commemoration of the former Nazi ally and war criminal.
In the late 1930s Stepan Bandera became the leader of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) was the name of the Ukrainian partisan paramilitary force that arose from the OUN and fought Soviet armies in the 1940s. During World War II the OUN worked with the German occupation and participated in the massacre of Jews, Poles, and Russians.
In 1943 Bandera’s followers massacred 70,000 Poles the majority of whom were unarmed men, women, and children. This mass killing took place in Volyn, Western Ukraine. In the spring and summer of 1943 peasants of Volyn under the leadership of the Galician intelligentsia using bullets, axes and other improvised means assassinated tens of thousands of Poles living in the villages and towns of the region. The political leadership of the OUN had suddenly realised that the Germans might lose the war. So because of the presence of the Polish population the political leadership had simply decided to get rid of that population to prevent Poland’s claim to Volyn.
By 1945 the OUN had, in Eastern Galicia, killed 130,000. Many people had their eyes gouged out and were then hacked to death. After WWII the OUN kept fighting against the forces of the USSR and People’s Poland until 1949.
From the historical reference in Volyn we can clearly see that Obama in Ukraine was using the supreme international crime as a means of preventing Russia’s claims to the Donbass. And Poroshenko as one of Obama’s missives gave a speech where for the first time in history a Western leader boasted about targeting woman and children.
Poroshenko stated….“We (Kiev regime) will have our jobs, they will not. We will have our pensions, they will not. We will have care for children, for people and retirees, they will not. Our children will go to schools and kindergartens… theirs will hole up in the basements. Because they are not able to do a thing. This is exactly how we will win this war!”
Keep in mind he was talking about Ukrainians, his fellow countrymen. He openly flouted international law, his militia’s used cluster and phospherous munitions against all conventions. He terrorised civilian populations. This was Obama’s / Poroshenko’s strategy to win this civil war, ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Nuclear weapons in Belarus is itself a response to things done, some done by Poland, and some by the West in the same adventure that Poland so strongly supports.
Overtly, it was a response to providing depleted uranium weapons to Ukraine.
Undeclared, it was a response to talk in Poland of a Polish attack on Belarus, either by invasion or by “regime change.”
That talk was amplified to serious proportions by the many Polish soldiers already fighting in Ukraine, and talk in Poland of sending more.
Escalation is not measured from the step you don’t like. It is measured by all the steps up the stairway.
Poland has done more than its share to produce the result it now does not like. Make it worse?
“I absolutely believe that such a situation demands an unequivocal response from NATO,” Duda said
Does this guy listen to himself?
Mark Thomason:
“Nuclear weapons in Belarus is itself a response to things done, some done by Poland, and some by the West in the same adventure that Poland so strongly supports.”
This guy gets it.
As a Pole- what an embarrassment. They should have asked NATO for direct retaliation after non-NATO member state Ukraine attacked them with rockets and killed 2 civilians.
They should also taoe action against the DU ammunition being send to the corrupt regime
As a Pole – what an embarrassment. They should let Russia invade them and annex their land in the name of peace.
It’s wonderful that a sockpuppet account decided to chime in to propagandize a myopic
political narrative devoid of historical context to make the world a worse place so that literal nazis and western fascists can turn a quick buck at the exoense of Ukrainian lives and the Americans’ tax dollars.
Do us all a favor and make sure to get your boosters
🙀 Nuland, Blinken, Biden, Sullivan!!!!!
Is that a response to the article? It makes no sense.
But wait….wasn’t one of Russia’s demands for removal and our refusal to do so a primary reason for invading Ukraine and placing our installation of a NON NUCLEAR missile silo in Poland that can reach Moscow in 5 minutes? So, how does genius Duda know they won’t respond with another escalatory response that puts humanity even closer to extinction? These NATO and Biden war machine $h!tnuts should all be forced to listen to JFK’s speech 6 months prior to his assasination by the CIA.
The “unequivocal response” could mean a written agreement on both sides not to deploy nukes beyond a certain limit, such as 2500 km, from Russia’s border. It would apply to Russia too. Or better yrt no nukes.
