#5 Suddenly, it dawns on me: Anti-missile defenses in Poland, Javelins to Ukraine - it's the Cuban Missile Crisis with the roles reversed. Still filed under "we're tired of all your shit".

#4 The Cuban Missile Crisis was just a gambit on the geo-political chessboard. IIRC, the end goal was the removal of intermediate-range missiles in Europe. Not sure exactly what prompted Putin's statement, but "we're tired of all your shit" has a lot of explanatory power.

#3 If they're hyper sonic missiles why do they have to be stationed just off the coast?

#2 In other words: "we're tired of all your shit"

#1 Shit... don't need to even do that now days. Just cut/destroy/sabotage all gas lines into the EU and Russia bleeds money to death.
