Well, the Baltic States are in the EU and Poland would be pretty alarmed, not to mention Germany, so - in the short-term, at least (and assuming he's not a complete and utter Bond villain / Hitler hybrid) - probably not..

He is though, isn't he?

Hasn't he funded the French National Front or something?

There is a lot of anti Russian propaganda knocking about, are they now part of the war on terror too?

We do seem to be being prepared and readied for some kind of conflict again, no one will be happy until the public are shaking like a sh1tting dog with fear over all these potential threats.

Yeah its all propaganda mate. MA17 being shot down, Russian bombers in UK/Swedish air space, Russian "volunteers" in Ukraine, satellite pics of heavy weapon convoys crossing the border, etc. All verified by UN, OSCE, Amnesty International (well known supporters of the US).
Putin is a huge bully both inside his own country (journalists, opponents, gays, etc) as well as outside. He has a vision of a greater Mother Russia (don't forget that he is ex-KGB). He says/signs one thing and then continues on bullying. If he is taken lightly the consequences could be bad. Remember Munich 1938.

The latest rumblings are that Putin is going to use the same tactics against the Baltic states as he used in the Crimea and Ukraine. Given the lack of appetite nowadays in the UK for any kind of military intervention, would he succeed ?

There's nothing labelled against Putin that can't be thrown back in the faces of the west, they're not used to being outfoxed.

I am far from being sympathetic towards Putin, but what I posted still stands, the anti Russia rhetoric is being ramped up, the only thing missing to start it off properly is Blair being sent as a peace envoy

Russia thread, yay!

You got your borders secure? Make sure you're not clogging up the country's only Internet connection using GOT when they invade so your country can call for help.
