Nato and Russia

A chara, – Vladimir Putin declares that western and specifically Nato forces are “too close to the Russian border”. Mr Putin really ought to know the difference in “forces” being too close to a nation’s border, and actually crossing that border. Hasn’t he had plenty of experience in this regard in recent times? – Yours, etc,
