Good evening.

IIRC the Soviet order of battle was Poland first, and then the Baltic states.

Oops, I meant Russian...

Based on the Sovi-er, Russian behavior toward Ukraine recently, I’d say he has cause to be concerned.

A cornered tyrant with a failing economy is dangerous.

Not only that, he's already done it three times:

  1. Chechnya
  2. Georgia
  3. Ukraine
I don't think he's done.

The Russians have been cornered and US sanctions and falling oil prices will not get them to capitulate at least while Putin is at the helm.
The NWO western elites are trying to get a regime change and turn Russia into a vassal state. They are probably working on getting Putin’s enemies to take him out right now.

But, I don’t believe that this will go smoothly; Putin is no Assad, Quadaffi, or Mubarak. Unlike the Arab Spring counties, Russia has nukes. They can also deploy hacking attacks on major corporations, Wall Street, US military, and the electrical grid. Maybe some oil tankers will accidentally run into a few torpedoes.

If something happens in the Baltics, look for China to make a move in their region. If Russia does do something, or something just “happens”, that’ll get oil prices (and gold) up in a hurry.
