Putin isn’t stupid enough to not know he is outmatched on the battlefield if he fought the U.S.

For the sake of argument, let's assume Russian tanks roll into all three Baltic states. Then what?

Would Obama and NATO start a strategic bombing of Russian targets? Would they mass tanks on the Polish border, and then strike towards Moscow? Would they risk a Third World War for the Baltics?

Or would Obama and NATO declare some sort of military blockade of Russia, and then leave it at that?

I'm betting it would be the latter option. Putin wins, and NATO falls apart, just like the old League of Nations did.

There is a powerful lesson here. Do not make treaty promises that you can't keep or won't keep.

There is no “powerful lesson here”, you can’t describe a vast military fantasy and then pretend that it happened, and then start posting the “lessons” from it, all in a matter of seconds.

Just go back and read your post 66 and my post 67, rather than play mind games with yourself and pretend that I am “upset”, I’m just not interested in your fantasies.
