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.
Yup as well as any country within missile range of it. It's absurd but to make Russia feel safe it's what they would need to do.
