Not quite. It will be a repeat once ballistic missiles are placed in Cuba or anywhere else in Latin America (given the resentment of Anglo-Saxon policies). Analogy to the proposal to host/refuel aircraft near US borders is what any European NATO country will do for the US, i.e. current situation.

If Russians are serious, what they can do? Either shut up or whine. US has ZERO real leverage on Russia, of all countries.
