LIBERTY ALERT! RUSSIA THREATENS THE WEST

In a stunning development of draconian proportions, Russia has threatened the West with a response that will 'go beyond diplomacy' if the U.S. follows through with its missile shield in Poland.

The U.S. signed the agreement with Poland over the objections of the Russians who not only oppose U.S. Patriot missiles being placed in the country to counter the Iranian threat, but who also object to an anti-missile defense shield to protect Europe from an attack.

But this afternoon the Russians upped the ante by threatening to 'go beyond diplomacy' in its response to the missile shield being placed in Poland.

Matt Drudge via Breitbart reports that Russia issued its second such threat in just 2 days following the signatures on the agreement between the U.S. and Poland.

Earlier in the week the Russians hinted that such an agreement would 'leave Poland open to a nuclear attack.'

The latest threat is yet another signal that many observers claim that Russia has moved to open another Cold War and to position itself as the enemy of Europe and the United States. The move comes some 20 years after the fall of the Soviet Union and the tearing down of the Berlin Wall.

But under former KGB operative Vladimir Putin, Russia has taken a definite turn toward the ominous.
