It will be macabrely interesting to see how many of those purged end up shot by burglars or have all their belongings confiscated over tax evasion charges, before being shot by burglars, or possibly pro western terrorists.

Another piece in the effects of the sanctions over Crimea?

^ Not only, NATO has stationed another thousand soldiers and hardware near the russian border, so it sure is a reaction to that. NATO already calls it the eastern front.
"Be more aggressive!" seems to go for all sides. Of course the official trigger is the Crimea, but i guess we now all know what was tried there.

"Britain to send hundreds of troops to Russian border amid Nato concerns
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon says UK has a duty to 'reassure' Baltic states of Nato support"

Yes, NATO sends 4 batallions, around 1000 men, to the area - while Russia has announced to form up 3-5 divisions there, around 30-40 thousand men. Thats a whole army group in Sowjet nomenclatura.

Who is the bigger threat here?

Kaliningrad being an area-denial enclave in NATOs front, is a very major concern for NATO. I suggest you guys also google for "Suwalki gap". In chess language: h2 is unguarded, and the opponent has two rooks on the h-line.

There could be a simpler reason for Putin's aggressive militaristic posing, though. The military is the only remaining card Russia can play where it still is really strong. Currency and economy do not serve well as tools to strategically act on the global stage.

However, NATO cannot afford to just believe in that. It must react to the threats set up by Russian military. Four batallions are just a lame joke for that. If the Russians mean serious business with bringing the Baltic states home into the Russian Reich, those four batallions will be rolled over and stomped into the ground as if they were nothing.
Too bad that Wetsern nations have ruined the money system and drowned themselkves in debts over spocial issues, so that now why it would be needed, the budget for beefing up defenmces again just is not there.

But haven't we had a wonderful party?

I think it is a brilliant idea to build missile complexes close to the Russian border and when Russia reacts with anger, to explain our readers how aggressive these Russians are.

Then we violently abuse a peoples demonstration against corruption in Ukraine - hosting the Russian Black Sea flottilla in Sevastopol - to force a political change, to install those oligarchic polit clowns running the regime supporting an Ukrainian EU/NATO accession.

Consequently Russia forces a political change in Crimea, to keep control over Sevastopol - by an undisturbed peoples demonstration - guaranteed via 25 000 already stationed Russian soldiers in Crimea, caring for the Ukrainian soldiers to stay in their barracks. No bloodshed like ours on “Euromaidan” was necessary.
An overwhelming ~95% of the population votes for a secession from Ukraine and affiliation to Russia.

A totally agressive move, we readers learn - and Poland and the baltic states have to have all reason to fear, the Russians will now try to run this kind of democratic political change in their countries too.

That's a Russian tradition you know - to destabilize other nations, to attack them, to change their political system or kill their political leaders, to gain control over their ressources, economy, financial regulations...

So we install “25 000 soldiers” along the eastern front, available to keep the Russian soldiers in their barracks. Oh, wait... There are no Russian soldiers in Poland or the baltic states?
Doesn't matter! We simply create a Russian scenario of threat and fear to justify our brilliant ideas of aggressive moves.

Our readers are believers! We took care of that for decades.

^ add all those western military and political "advisors" and trainers in the Crimea and the baltic states, let alone the secret service's influences that did not go unnoticed, by Russia. The latter is not harmless, but meanwhile the last reader here should have realized what kind of stuff is served to him via our oh-so-neutral media, especially when it comes to the Crimea..

Transatlantic clubs and all of our media anchormen being members eh? They are all "embedded".
It is not Russia alone that wants to divert from inner problems and show off.
Wait for Trump..
