I think they have too much free time on their hands. We need to screw with another former provinces election just to keep them busy. The second thing we need to do is cut their section of the space station loose and let them go their separate way. I would hate to think we might threaten them with too much American food.
Lastly, I would move NATO headquarters closer to their largest military base and load it up with spy gear and radar. This will help them decide if they are being threatened.
I assume all our ICBM's have been re targeted since the break up of the USSR, so as a extra effort thing, I would publish the list.
That should do it!
If we are going to do such aggressive posturing then let’s at least get something out of it, such as “Hey Putin, we WON’T do these things if you stop providing nuclear know-how to Iran AND pressure North Korea with us.” This won’t happen however as it would have to become an alliance so your idea would just add tension for no reason.
