That is not how Russia views them. They view strategic defense as shield for when the knife comes in.
There is a reason for that. Russia has been attacked by a lot of nations who did similar things, from the British to the French, and ending off with the Germans. They don’t like anyone on their borders. Any student of history could tell you how they would react to the US putting a missile shield right next door.
At what point do the former Soviet satellites become independent states? Let’s stop pretending that Russia’s on the verge of a comeback. Once commodities pop she’s in a barrel.
