#1 The increases are largely confined to those who border the Bear. For everyone else, it's pretty much Bread and Games(tm) still, cause they believe the US is firmly ensconced to commit nuclear suicide for the partiers. After the wall came down, we should have only had a MAG time in Brussels.

#3 Still think central Europe should hug the bear. Create a mutual defense pact, bring Russia in as an adviser and agree to buy a certain amount of Russian weapons (BMPs and such) to make sure Russia is happy.

Russia is paranoid but such a move (without Germany, France, or other big players) creates a buffer state Russia might appreciate. It also might convince Russia that the group is more trouble than it is worth to gobble up.

#4 No, Poland in particular, supported by its NATO allies should be organized, trained, and have annual wargames to invade and over run Belarus and Russia all the way to Moscow. Poland has done it before and could again. Forcing Russia to be prepared to counter a serious conventional threat would quickly focus their mind.
