Where Will Russia Strike Next?

[tasko]

Defiance, denial, disguised military invasion and intimidation have become hallmarks of Putin’s Russian foreign policy repertoire. Despite condemnation by the U.S. and European Union and economic downturn caused by the western sanctions and falling oil prices, Russia has not halted its camouflaged military aggression in Eastern Ukraine. In fact, Russia’s muscle flexing has surpassed its neighborhood and reached remote parts of Australia and the Gulf of Mexico. Although sending an aging naval fleet to Australia or strategic bomber flights in Gulf of Mexico are more symbolic than real threats, they attest to increasing belligerence of Russia’s foreign policy. If not effectively stopped in Ukraine, Russia is likely to launch another military adventure and there are a number of countries which may find themselves under Moscow’s gun.

Latvia and Estonia

Georgia

Moldova

Other Eastern European countries like Poland or Romania may become the objects of Moscow’s belligerence. Putin has allegedly told President Poroshenko of Ukraine: “If I wanted, in two days I could have Russian troops not only in Kiev, but also in Riga, Vilnius, Tallinn, Warsaw and Bucharest.”

ИМХО, блеф. Чиста пацанские панты.

От психически неуравновешенного пацана с понтами можно ожидать чего угодно.
