Poland risks conflict with Russia

Poland announced it will base US Patriot missiles in northern Poland, only 60 miles from the Russian border, closer than orginally planned. Poland and the United States signed an agreement in December to station U.S troops in Poland to service the missiles, which will be part of Poland's national secuirty system. The decision to have the missiles so close to Russia might eventually cause conflict between the two states. So far, Russia's Defense Ministry said it would not increase it's Baltic Fleet weaponry which contradicts an earlier quote from Russian news agency that they would.
