>what real concessions did the Kremlin receive
US financial aid and content over the complete upheaval, robbery and submission of russia to KGB via organized crime. apparently no US bases in the former east germany either but with how much russians screech about it it's probably a worthless thing anyway.

but realistically they simply didn't have the means to sustain that deployment without robbing nearby german stores at the time, as well as being crushed by the fall of berlin wall politically. they were probably concerned with looking like the spiteful commies we now know they still are as part of shelepin's plan they'd been trying to put into action, pretending to be a peaceful democratic country populated by real humans.
