The only thing worse than an intentional war, is an accidental one. Misread radars, misunderstood orders, miscommunicated diplomacy, when staff is being asked to work overtime and under stress... these are not the types of situations you want your ICBM defense infrastructure to be dealing with.
While it makes sense to increase the defensive capabilities of NATO members while Russia is invading a neighboring nation, it would be better to deploy NATO forces to these eastern nations AFTER the Ukraine invasion is complete or called off.
I hope the Biden administration appreciates the massive risks involved in this situation, and generally keeps NATO assets away from the conflict zone. Having US soldiers 80 miles from St Petersburg and 350 miles from Moscow will raise alarm bells in Moscow, while also flying USAF drones inside Ukrainian, and USAF and US Navy planes/ships operating in the Chorne Sea between to Ukraine and Russian forces are extremely high risk situations on the eve of war.
