I would like to think that the world is waking up to the Putin Pflusterkrieg. This is why we should not pull our punches when considering sanctions.

On the horizon, besides the Baltic states - we also have the thorny question of the Arctic and who owns all the hydrocarbon resource there. If planting your flag on the sea bed isn't a declaration of ownership then I don't know what is.

And where else is there oil and an eager ally to stir up a quick conflict....? hmmm, 2 small islands, East and West....name escapes me.

Luckily we have Jean-Claude Juncker to protect us all. (he's a Sith Lord in disguise so no worries there).
