The threat from Muscowy is acknowledged by all parties in Poland except the far left

If the Russians were smart, they'll agree to the ceasefire in Ukraine. Then they'll invade the Baltics with 300,000 troops.

In that hypothetical scenario, what will Trump do? Most likely nothing other than secondary sanctions on nations trading with Russia.

NATO and President Trump have troops in the Baltics, if they were invaded Trump would have to operate as a NATO member and fight back.

The thing is. If the Muscowites do as you suggest "agree to the ceasefire in Ukraine. Then they'll invade the Baltics with 300,000 troops.

it isn't as easy as it could have been if Putin hadn't invaded Ukraine in 2022

    li> NATO has upped spending and also has put troops, weaponry, land mines etc in the Baltic area
  1. Poland has arrnage for a joint military with the Baltics
  2. Finland joined NATO meaning both St. Petersburg and Koeningsburg can be cut off not only by sea but also by land
And that's without even Germany or France or the UK getting involved.

If he hadn't invaded in 2022, Finland would never have joined NATO, NATO would slowly collapse and Putin could have even walked in in just a few years.

But now his hubris has ensured that can't happen
