There doesn’t need to be a Russia deterrent. Russia only cares about Russia and Russians. That may include Russians in former Russian territories. Note I didn’t say Soviet.

That is false. It has threatened Finland, Sweden, Poland and Bulgaria. And they have next to no Russians.
But if you agree with them caring about former Russian territories, perhaps you want to hand Alaska back to them?
