However, combined with US unilateral withdrawal in 2019 from the treaty with restricted the US from deploying exactly the kind of missile suitable for launching from Ukraine into European Russia certainly makes that possibly too serious for Russian to just wait and see how it develops.
Presence of intermediate range nuclear missile in Ukraine creates exactly the same situation for Moscow as presence of similar missile in Cuba creates for Washington DC, except the time for warning would be a third as long.
I guess Russia is justified in recapturing all of Eastern Europe, just because someone that doesn't like them might one day have nuclear weapons.
I wonder why its neighbors don't like Russia? Is it because they are all U.S. puppets, or because they know Russia wants the Soviet empire back, and is headed by an unhinged dictator?
We are no longer under a cold war (or weren't until last month). No-one wants to invade Siberia for shits and giggles. The only Russian thing under threat is its Imperial pride.
