Bush has swallowed hie tongue during that press-conference. Now they just realized they were fucked by NATO. Fucked during all those years. So the Cold War has never ended for the NATO countries. Now Russia just got it.

I have heard this argument from my Russian friends. It doesn't hold water. Russia could keep a skeleton crew on their European border as with NATO there they have a buffer against the world. NATO would not attack first.
I would think with your exposure to the West, you would agree that Europe would have a hard time uniting to attack Russia unilaterally. Then add in the Nukes and it really is a non issue. Sort of like the posturing that Putin is doing now. No one thinks he is so dumb as to attack NATO. Let him burn jet fuel. He is like a petulant child lately.
