I think that these super-duper clever questions insinuating missiles and bases in Eastern Europe are also dumb and misleading. In the founding act on NATO-Russian relations, it was agreed upon that no-one would place strategic weapons in Eastern Europe, and NATO upheld its part. Placement of conventional forces has also been modest to put it mildly, limited to a small number of light infantry, for training purposes. Things only began to change after 2014. You can guess why.
