Maps.
If any of you still have your historical atlas, take a look at Europe before WW 1. Russia runs from the border of east Germany till the Pacific Ocean. Now keep that in mind. Many of the nations in eastern Europe have a very bad memory of Russian rule. Yet Russia, having been in invaded by France in the 19 century and Germany twice in the 20 century does not trust Europe and wants a buffer zone. Now, also keep in mind that the commies under Stalin murdered millions of people in the Ukraine and tens of Thousands of people in the Baltic states.( they also murdered millions of Russians) No one, given their bloody history, trusts any one in that part of the world.
