Polish president admits real purpose of US missile base
Andrzej Duda has said the Aegis facility at Redzikowo was never about defense against ‘Iranian ICBMs’ | Speaking at the opening ceremony for the Redzikowo base on Wednesday, Duda quoted the words of the Polish president at the time, Lech Kaczynski, revealing the real purpose of the missile base.
💬 “Andrzej, these missiles will not defend Poland,” Duda said. “They will actually protect areas far, far away from Poland from missiles that could potentially be launched from Iran, for example. But this will be an American missile base, which will contain some of the greatest secrets of the United States and which the United States will guard.”
“And this is very important, because this American base will be built on our soil, in Poland,” Duda continued, quoting his predecessor. “And from that moment, when this base stands here, the whole world will see clearly that this is no longer the Russian zone of influence. And from the Polish point of view, this is the most important thing strategically.”
