Russia still holds Kaliningrad. They could surround the Baltics in a pincer movement and we’d be cut off from supply lines.

I’ve said that for over 5 years. That’s Putin’s play into the baltic states.... to “protect” soviet citizens.

It’s classic. He’ll “stabilize” the situation.

Putin's not going to go into the Baltic states -- they give him no "wins" -- they open into the Baltic sea that can be shut off at Denmark.

The more interesting and profitable area is to the south -- cutting up Turkey

BINGO!! I’ve said that is Russia’s excuse to “protect” Russian citizens. Kaliningrad is such an odd little piece of geography.
