AFP: Russia activates missile warning system near EU: "MOSCOW — Russia on Tuesday activated a radar warning system against incoming missiles in its exclave of Kaliningrad on the borders of the EU, in response to Western plans for a US missile shield in Europe."
Now just think for a mo. If you lived in a country where Napoleon and later Hitler had tramped through and the country had suffered losses in the 10's of millions through these hellish wars, wouldn't it leave you a tad nervy? I don't think you good folks in the US of A actually get it; so I think you'll have to do a bit more in the empathy department and ease old mother Russia's concerns regarding this defense system thing. Just imagine how it would be if a similar system was deployed by Russia, say in Mexico? Would make even the Texan sphincter pulsate, eh?
A solution? How about offering a seat or two for some Russians to be alongside in an observation role while NATO or US duty personnel do their screen watching bit?
