treaty with Poland

The United States has just signed a treaty with Poland to allow us to place "defensive" missiles in the the country only 115 miles from Russia. Needless to say Russia is not happy about this and does not believe they are "defensive." Russian officials have said that Poland will pay a price for this action and I believe they will.

When the Soviet Union wanted to place missiles in Cuba, only 90 miles from the U.S., we objected. Cuba has paid the price for this action for the past 40+ years through an U.S. embargo.

Personally, I believe that the U.S. is wrong with this treaty and Russia has every right to be upset. The U.S. should back off of this treaty, Congress should not approve this treaty and the U.S. government should find another location for the missiles. Surely, this is not the only location these missiles can be placed.
