The idea of Russia invading Poland, or Lithuania, or anywhere else in Prebaltika is absolutely absurd.
All of the instances you mentioned were as a result of either physical or geopolitical aggression against Russia. Georgia was invaded after Georgian soldiers fired on Russian soldiers in Ossetia. Crimea was annexed after the US instigated the Maidan coup and the Ukrainian coup government threatened to revoke the long term lease on Sevastopol (and this only happened after an election that showed overwhelming popular support). Donetsk and Luhansk seceded from Ukraine also as a result of the Maidan coup.
Russia was not the aggressor in any of these cases, but somehow gets the blame for responding in a proportionate and measured manner. It doesn't manner that the collective West does not like the response...what matters is that Russia unabashedly defends its interests. Full stop.
“What a bunch of garbage. Putin is fine. He has excellent popular support and continues to move Russia forward.”
Abusurd. There economy GDP is the size of Spain. He’s moving forward is as forward as Clinton and Obama moving us forward. Not.
“The idea of Russia invading Poland, or Lithuania, or anywhere else in Prebaltika is absolutely absurd.”
They invaded Georgia, Crimea and Eastern Ukraine...and let’s not forget Afghanistan. You may also recall a Russian incursion into the Baltics and taking their communications networks by force.
