Russia is Creating What They Claimed to Fear

The Air Force is only now preparing airfields to fight in defense of NATO's new Eastern Europe members:

The goal is to effectively build up locations closer to Eastern Europe to support "strike, superiority, surveillance, command and control and [air]lift," he said. "All aircraft are involved."

Remember this when you hear complaints that NATO expansion threatened Russia.

Until Russia started threatening NATO and committing territorial aggression against Ukraine, eastern NATO was a vacuum of NATO military power.

This hostility to NATO might have seemed like a good and safe tactic. Have the Russians had enough of this counter-productive path?
