In case you've been away from the news the last few months, the US wants to put a missile shield in Eastern Euurope to prevent the threat of a strike from rogue nations (Iran putting a nuke onto one of their missiles they already have, launched at Israel). This includes a Radar installation in Czech Republic and Patriot missiles in Poland, we signed the deal in Poland yesterday. Russia had previously made statements they didn't approve of these actions and would use military force, that was a few weeks ago. They were also talking to Cuba about putting missiles there. They have also threatened to do to any other surrounding countries what they did to Georgia if any Russian citizens or "peace keepers" are harmed. Now they have taken it a step further

Russia's Deputy Chief of Army Staff, General Anatoly Nogovitsyn, warned that any new US assets in Europe could come under Russian nuclear attack with his forces targeting "the allies of countries having nuclear weapons".
Russia's news agency quoted him as saying: "By hosting these, Poland is making itself a target. This is 100 per cent certain. It becomes a target for attack. Such targets are destroyed as a first priority."
