The possibility of those things happening, I would wager. That and the possibility of having US interceptor missiles so close to the ICBM silos near Kursk and Moscow.
It was rather ham-fistedly done though, and Russia is paying the price for that, I just hope that our economic blockade doesn't prove to be a bit Versailles...
