I'm kind of curious if, emboldened, Putin will make a grab for some, all, or bits and pieces of the Baltic states. That would really cause the shit to hit the fan, and Europe to have to decide if they can and want to defend their borders.
Nah. He hasn't even sorted out Transnistria, which would be much less problematic than the Baltic states from a legitimacy point of view.
I personally don't see Putin as this evil dictator... He plays a very old game, yes, but this also means he's very predictable. He didn't get into Crimea because "he wanted Crimea", he did it because the alternative (his only major Southern port in NATO hands) would have been a disaster from a strategic perspective. As I keep repeating, would the US let Panama slip in Russian or Iranian hands? Of course not.
Let us fervently hope it does not come to that.
