As the pro-Russia propagandists do their work here, Finland, which probably knows the truth a little better, is so fearful of the monster that they will probably join NATO.
Putin is even making Sweden fearful enough that they are discussing it.
For all the talk about Putin wanting to create a new USSR, why hasn’t he simply invaded the Ukraine? He certainly has the military power to do so, and he’s already paying the political and economic price for Crimea. What more sanctions would the world’s nations impose on Russia for a full scale invasion of the Ukraine? Certainly Putin doesn’t think NATO would go to war over it, and Obama would probably do little more then send another sternly written letter.
