There is a talk going on between Moldova and Romania to join as one country based on their ancient history.
Putin is using the same logic here that he had used in the Georgia attack and Ukraine. He had found Russian-speaking people in Moldova and Estonia. He wants to protect them. Soon he will find Nazis in these countries. I think Putin will use Belarus to attack Poland. For them, Poland is always part of Russia.
Interesting points.
Kaliningrad is Russian territory between Poland and Lithuania.
Lithuania is one of the Baltic States, with Latvia and Estonia. All 3 are NATO countries.
Now Finland and Sweden want to join NATO.
Why should we be the protector for almost 30 countries?
I would like to see us out of NATO.
It is not 1949 any more.
