Sure sounds and smells like it, doesn’t it? Probably sells them the missiles that Iran shoots at SA also. What a world!

Russia had a fit not because US ‘provided’ defense to Poland but because US planned a dual-use missile base in Poland built around mainly offensive technology. If short an INF missile base.
