Should West Use Nuclear Weapons Against Russia? 'Scare Putin' With Missiles, Says Former Polish President
2015-04-20
[International Business Times] The West must do everything possible to curb Russian aggression, including "sending in nuclear missiles," said Walesa. "It's important to show we have them, and that they are better than Russia's." Walesa, who started his political career as an anti-communist trade union activist in the 1970s, was fundamental in seeing Poland's transition from a communist state to the Republic of Poland during his five years as president from 1990 to 1995. He was persecuted by Poland's communist government during his early years in politics.

#3  Yea, but the moment Poland will become nuclear, Poles will start remembering that once Ukraine, Belorussia, and the Baltics were Polish.

#2  The problem is that in reaction to 9/11 the West abandoned the doctrine of deterrence, both nuclear and conventional.

NATO is a finlandized joke, and Putin has taken notice.

#1  I like Lech a lot, but if he's lobbying Obama for immediate help, it ain't happening.
