I think this guy needs to take another look at his atlas before coming up with scenarios; if there were to be a ballistic missile launched from Iran at Poland, it would have to be launched from the very Northern-most tip of Iran and aimed at the very Northern-most tip of Poland to even come near Russian airspace as, for most of its flight, it would be above the troposhpere if it were a ballistic missile. And even if that happened, presumably Russia's 'automatic defence system' as this guy calls it, would detect it way before any system in Poland, and presumably react to it 'automatically' too, in which case, the scenario wouldn't even occur if the Russian 'automatic system' is so all-fired brilliant at detecting stuff and equally trigger happy.

Besides which, what are we in, Star Wars here? 'automatic' my arse, some bored sh*tless corporals sitting watching radar screens is hardly HAL 900. Furthermore, I must have missed the part where Iran declared war on Poland, when did they announce that one?
