Where does Russia go next? Ukraine? The Baltics? Poland?

The Ukraine seems to be next. There is a peninsula called the Crimean Peninsula where the Russian Black Sea fleet is based. The Russians lease the base from the Ukrainians (lease runs out, I think in 2012). Many of the people on the peninsula speak Russian, and I think Russia has given them Russian passports as well. Look to Russia “freeing” the Crimean Peninsula next.

Accually Cremea is the Autonomous Republic of Crimea in Ukaraine. Cremea was taken form Russia during USSR time by act of ukranian General Secretary of CPSU. It was completely unlawful. 90% of Crimea population are ethnic Russians. They refuse NATO and want to join Russian Federation.
