MOSCOW, April 25 (Reuters) - Russia said on Thursday that Poland was playing a “very dangerous game” by considering the possibility of hosting U.S. nuclear weapons.

Polish President Andrzej Duda said on Thursday he had invited Prime Minister Donald Tusk for talks on May 1 about the possibility of nuclear weapons from NATO states being deployed in Poland.

Duda has reiterated his position that Poland would be ready for such a possibility, prompting Tusk to say he would like a clarification from the president.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said any U.S. nuclear missiles in Poland could become targets in the event of a Russia-NATO war.

“It is not difficult to assume that if American nuclear weapons appear on Polish territory, the corresponding objects will immediately join the list of legitimate targets for destruction in the case of direct military conflict with NATO,” she told reporters at her weekly briefing.

      Now I’m picturing you hiking along saying things like “walking uphill is more tiring than walking downhill” or “that is a tree”!

          The struggle is real. I narrowly escape being nicknamed Sherlock for similar reasons.
