Putin’s next target, Goble predicts, is likely to be in one of the three Baltic republics that are now full members of NATO. The most likely target, in his view, is Latvia.

I beg to disagree. I think he's more likely to go after Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova since they are not part of NATO, the first two are adjacent to Russia, and it would give him several warm water ports. Eventually he and NATO will face off, but I think he'll go for the easy picks first.

Belarus is safe as long as Putin’s puppet Lukashenko is in power. Same in Kazakhstan.
