"near abroad" is not a question. It is a statement made by the highest levels of your Russian Government.

And E. Europe is a border between nuclear powers. Please don't start playing stupid, again.

~And E. Europe is a border between nuclear powers.~

If you want to look at it this way and move this ‘border’ as close to Russia you shouldn’t blame Russian government for starting to think along your lines and reacting accordingly.

BTW. I am not a hypocrite and I don’t blame US government for Bay of Pig, Cuban Missile Crisis and similar reactions in Central and South America in 1970-1980s.

USSR had no business to bring ‘border’ you are talking about to Americas as well.
