You don't think we have been poking the Bear by wanting to place missiles on Russia's borders? I remember how we reacted when they tried it in Cuba.
Not totally unsympathetic to some of Putin’s concerns. NAZI’s isn’t one. NATO possibly.
Cuba analogy is good but slightly flawed. Russians deployed operational nukes in Cuba.
Can’t find any source beside the Russian Foreign Minister saying NATO fixing to install offensive missiles on border. As he’s the same guy that says “Russia hasn’t attacked Ukraine”, I tend to disbelieve him.
