I am not aware of the Baltics having the military or otherwise capacity to "escalate". anyway, this will not turn into a hot shooting war between NATO and Russian soldiers - if that is what you are waiting for, then your life has found a new mission. europe and america have better things to do than to defcon-one with the Russians over some Russian backyard. Maybe it hurts your ego if I put it that frankly and minimize Georgia's or the Baltic's importance. But the simple fact is that I speak the truth. Georgia has much more importance for Russia, than it has for the West. and Brussel will whistle back any attempt by the Baltic states to "escalate" on behalf of NATO. |
If our countries are worthless we should really start building a nuclear deterrent.
