NATO is moving its military infrastructure closer to the Russian border and Russia needs to strengthen its own infrastructure in response, President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday.
Boo hoo. Of course, Putin's actions and hostility motivated NATO to build infrastructure closer to Russia after leaving it a logistics desert for fifteen years after expanding NATO east.
Cause and effect is a wonder to behold, eh?
Seriously, stop talking to me about how Putin is a strategic genius, or something.
