John Demjanjuk? What the hell does a Nazi guard have to do with Russia?

As for your other link. I did look at it. Here's a paragraph talking about Russian Television News.

    The underlying message is simple: the United States is engaged in a selfish, ruthless bid for world
    domination. By implication, anything Russia or any other country can do to resist this is commendable
    and justified. It portrays the foundations of modern Euro-Atlantic security—including NATO enlargement
    to former communist countries and Western support for Ukraine—as hypocritical and unjust.

I gotta say dude, I agree with Russia here. Putting Nukes on their border when we freaked out (rightly so) when they put nukes on ours in the 60's, is fucking hypocritical and unjust.

FBI confirmed, after death of Demianiuk that the single evidence against USA citizen was probably faked by KGB[1]. Despite that, USA deported Demianiuk twice: to Israel, where Supreme Court If Israel declared him innocent, then to Germany, where he died before end of court.

The US put anti-ballistic missiles in Poland, not nuclear weapons. Or am I missing something?

Putin made two points about this in June, 2016[0]. First, it's not possible to verify what's in the warheads of anti-ballistic missiles. Second, defense and offense are part of a single set of capabilities. If you remove the opponent's ability to retaliate against a first strike, that is just as dangerous to them as if you had increased your offensive capability. I'm well out of my depth in terms of judging if these statements are true, but this is what he said.

The issue isn't the tactical implications of putting ABM launchers in Poland. The issue is the false claim (propaganda?) that the US put nuclear weapons in Poland.

I'm actually talking about Romania, which isn't technically on the border, if we now insist that Ukraine is not Russia affiliated, but still damn close, missile fly time wise.

And yes, they are Nukes. They were moved there after the Turkish 'coup'.

Do you have a reputable source for that?
