One more comment before I drop the thread:
The problem isn't mitigating what you know about.
The problem is you don't know what you don't know. And the enemy always

That said, certainly nothing wrong with the efforts so far... I just
personally don't believe they will prove sufficient once all of Eastern
Europe begins to focus its efforts on hassling you :-)
