This after the threat to stop transit of Supplies to Afghanistan through Russia. With Pakistan boarder closed the next step pressure on the Stans to shut down too.

All this for a so-called defensive shield again Iran. What are they smoking?

Medvedev may or may not know this but Iran has ballistic missiles capable of hitting all of Europe. Russia can be a partner in deploying a defensive anti-missile system designed to counter this threat or it can return to a Cold War confrontational posture in which no one’s interests are served.

There’s no denying that the Russians have ‘leverage’ in light of the severing of the NATO supply lines through Pakistan. I guess that’s all we need to know.

The Russians sense America's leadership weakness.

Methinks the Russians doth protest too much.
“The Americans are deploying scooter chairs! This is a direct violation of the 2003 Motorized Chair Treaty! In response, we shall deploy our new T-99 nuclear powered La-Z-Boy! It has missiles!”

That’s right, Putie. Light-up those radar for no good reason right now.

Did the Russians not ever leave the base at Kaliningrad or are they leasing it now?

Russia has turned on a new incoming missile early warning system in its westernmost region in response to US plans for a missile shield in Europe.

That fine with me. We aren't going to be lobbing missiles at Russia.

Russia should be a lot more worried about incoming missiles from the south-south-west. If you don't know what I mean, look at a map: that's the Middle East.
