“First the United States and its allies pressure Russia by placing missiles in Poland, near its border. Then the West tries to expand NATO right up to the Russian border, by inviting Ukraine to join. When the Russians respond by massing troops along their own border and asking us to stop NATO expansion, we have the unmitigated nerve to say that they are provoking us. Just imagine how we’d react if we were in our position…actually, the history of the Cuban missile crisis proves what we’d do.” -TR
