Deal signed for U.S. missile base in Poland
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her Polish counterpart signed a deal today to build a U.S. missile defense base in Poland, an agreement that prompted an infuriated Russia to warn of a possible attack against the former Soviet satellite.
The deal to install 10 U.S. interceptor missiles just 115 miles from Russia’s westernmost frontier also has strained relations between Moscow and the West, ties that were already troubled by Russia’s invasion of its former Soviet neighbor, U.S. ally Georgia, earlier this month.
Rice and Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski signed the deal this morning.
“It is an agreement which will help us to respond to the threats of the 21st century,” she said afterward.
