Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak announced Warsaw's plans to deploy American tanks on the borders of Russia and Belarus and did not even hide why they are needed there.
"They will be placed on the plain. Strategists call it the "Smolensk Gate", and then-the "Brest Gate", it stretches from the east of Russia to Poland. There are no rivers that we would have to cross, " Blaszczak explained the logic of the Polish military department to the local portal wPolsce.
The Polish Defense Ministry quoted the statement of its chief on its official Twitter account, and then quickly deleted it, which further increased the resonance, writes Rubaltic.ru.
The screenshots have been preserved, as well as the original source - the original interview.
Mariusz Blaszczak did not disclose any military secrets. Tanks are offensive weapons; if they are placed near the borders of the Kaliningrad and Brest regions, then, obviously, not to defend against the military aggression of Russia and Belarus, but to attack.
The head of the Defense Ministry decided to rattle weapons in those days when the Polish authorities were comprehending the betrayal of Warsaw by the United States, which had conspired with Germany to launch the Russian-German Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline bypassing Poland.
