I don't really disagree with your potted History or the literal fact of NATO being almost at Federation borders .
But let' s move on from NATOs Cold War policy.
Now NATO is the US and vice versa , I believe you and Putin , more importantly , must see matters in the ways which define present US Geo Political Strategy , as clearly stated and documented .
Russia does not figure in it . If the Federation had been able to get rid of the little psychopath six years ago , say , Russia might have been able to bring itself into the NATO umbrella and actually create a real economy .
But that's wishful thinking .History that did not happen . More's the pity .
The only way that NATO will impinge on the Federation is by taking Georgia ( presently it has) and Ukraine ( presently Moscow is driving it to the US , coupled with a simpleton cipher President who is losing the plot ).
These are vital countries for pipe lines and the Gas/Oil under the Black Sea .
But the idea of one country invading another to conquer it by military action is History .Anyhow , Russia is far too weak presently in conventional terms to take on anybody but a small country like Georgia -- not enough professionals and outdated equipment .
Today you control countries by strangling and/or controlling basic commodities --- Energy , Food and Water .See Russia versus Belarus and Ukraine .
Russia may be" needed " in terms of an enlarged Umbrella in fifty years time but the Federation will have collapsed well before then
Presently , Putin gives no idea that he has the remotest idea of how to form or obtain a working Geo Political Strategy . His mind set is locked in his formative years -- KGB and substitute family , and all he can think of is selling a bit of Oil and Gas to the East and a bit more to the West ... no long term vision , other than a tin pot local Customs area which he forces countries to contemplate -- Belarus and Ukraine .
The West knows that Russia is not developing , and , in fact , is running backwards due to Putin plus huge population decline and health problems .
If only Putin were not myopic and tunnel visioned , he could work that out for himself and develop a vision suited to the desperate needs of Russia now .

Russian "Army" is so weak, that it can not fight even Georgia, apart from Baltic States who are NATO members.

My reference to Syria was more long term .
The point is that nobody in the West has the slightest interest in moving in to the Federation --- for what?
If you want to act out your paranoia , there is some rationale for deterring China , who, for several reasons , will give you problems in the East at some time --NOT the West .
However , nobody will give you any sympathy when that happens , because the rest of the world will treat you like you are treating ordinary Syrians now .

GB Team or Team GB is no difference . You say GB as a team , I doubt that is true.
For Example Scotland wants to get out of this team . But all this is not important to me .
I do not understand what do you mean " Syria in the long term " ? If only another one " Libyan version of the forced democratization " , but then I did not see any connection between Syria and U.S. missile defense system in Europe .
If speak about the paranoia then enough to look at the list of military expenditures .
EU 300.745.000.000$ , Russia 59.180.120.000$ . http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D1%EF%...F5%EE%E4%E0%EC
It seems that EU are sick of paranoia .
China is ally Russia.

It's a difficult concept for you , Evil , but we work as a team . We are a team .
Team GB to be precise .
The Scots are almost an irrelevance . They contribute very little and have a History of moaning that stretches back many hundreds of years . A few young hot heads want Independence --- let them have it .
Our lives will be unchanged and if the majority feel happier , that is excellent


I can see that the relevance of Syria escapes you . I guess I should not be surprised . It is way over Putrid's head , so why should I be surprised that one of his Nashi supporters has the same problem?
I am glad to picture you happy and captivated by your pictures of Submarines , planes and radar systems . There is nowhere for them to go and not really much to do , but if it brings a few Russians some feelings of patriotism and self esteem , then it has not been a complete mess .

This is very easy to understand what is Team GB - http://www.next.co.uk/girls/team-gb
It is very obvious that this organization has little to do with politics UK.In general, Irish people would be also to happy to leave the UK. The Queen will not approve of your attitude to the UK policy
Well, all right. So what is the connection between Syria and U.S.missile defense system in Europe?
Can you explain
