>> What if Russia ended up losing its warm water port in the
>> Baltic with that kind of adventurism?

And the Baltic sea has now effectively become a NATO lake.

Maybe some karma will be visited upon the Russians who expelled the native population of Konigsberg in 1945 and they will suffer the same fate.

I wondered what had happened to my grandmother’s relatives since she was the only one of 8 siblings in East Prussia to immigrate here around 1890. I know two of her sisters, maiden ladies in their 70s committed suicide in 1945 when the Russians came in raping and brutalizing the women. One woman was a gynecologist, so she certainly must have heard what their fate might be. Others I heard had fled across the frozen Baltic in horse and sleds, which led to a number of deaths when ice broke and people drowned. Therefor, I am particularly interested in the fate of Kaliningrad. I was even told an ancestor was Mayor of Konigsberg.

So I guess you can see why I favor the Ukranians.
