I'll take the $1,000. There's no reason to put missiles in Eastern Europe that is traditionally Russia's turf and if the "West" puts missiles there, they WILL put missiles in Cuba, Venezuela and any other country that needs money and doesn't look down on Russia.
And now that they found out that Cuba is sitting pretty on 10 Billion Barrels of crude oil just off their shore it's going to change the whole equation.
Didn't we go through this back in the 60's? Have we learned nothing?
