Could Putin try to seize Narva, Estonia just as he siezed Crimea? I certainly hope not. But if we don't stop Putin from taking more of Ukraine with diplomacy and sanctions, Narva could once again regain a terrible importance not seen since the Great Northern War.

I can’t imagine Putin being that stupid.

Crimea was low-hanging fruit, like The Rhineland was for Hitler. Nobody was going to go to war with Germany over an area that frankly most frankly felt should have belonged to Germany.

Once he attacks a NATO country, those costs go way up, and I think he realizes he can’t afford it.
