Don't forget the retarded Ukraine coup. Now Russia owns Crimea, and from it land based (as in unsinkable and infinitely cheaper) anti ship missiles and anti air missiles can reach any location on that entire pond, even deep into Turkey. We basically gave them a fucking sea.
Russia doesn't even need a black sea fleet anymore, which was their largest and most dangerous fleet. They can base it all in Mediterranean in Syria.
There was also a hole there through which NATO airplanes could attack, and fly near to Moscow before being spotted. That hole has been plugged now, because we couldn't hold up our end of the deal regarding Kosovo.
Oh, and by the way, Obama stepped out of new START so now Russia can proliferate all it wants, even use cruise missiles with nukes and make torpedo and space superweapons.
Watching Obama and Merkel maneuver has brought me to the brink of suicide for eight years.
