I agree. A powerful signal, but I can't figure out what is really behind it. I see a lot of downside for the Russians in doing this, but no upside, and that means I'm seriously missing something here.

Russians are proud people .. cutting and running with their tails between their legs won't go over well

Unless maybe there are specific threats being made within their own country

I honest have no clue why they would do this
