What are we about to do for Russia?

It is being reported that Kyrgzstan is changing its mind and allowing the U.S. military to continue using the Manas air base.  The U.S. is now agreeing to pay $60 million for the base (before it was paying only $17 million), but as Kyrgzstan is caught in a cold war between the U.S. and Russia, it remains to be seen what security concession the U.S. is about to make in Eastern Europe.
