At the same time the Russian's have earned their paranoia honestly, the Russians are never going to trust their border nations or NATO unless they're not a threat. Their history is full of massive invasions and Crusades from the West.
As much as people say that the World has changed, the Russian's have seen this movie before and believe that a strong defense militarily and diplomatically is not only needed but is a moral decision.
