US to deploy defensive missiles on Russia's doorstep

US to deploy defensive missiles on Russia's doorstep: "The United States will deploy Patriot-type surface-to-air missiles in northern Poland some 60 kilometres (35 miles) from Russia's Kaliningrad territory, Poland's defence minister said Wednesday.
'Morag was chosen as the location long ago, but we didn't make it public,' Bogdan Klich said, quoted by Poland's PAP news agency.
He insisted the choice of the site close to Kaliningrad had 'no political or strategic meaning -- its good infrastructure is the only reason.'"
