Sky News: Reports in its 11.01am post the following, " Putin could 'test NATO resolve in next few years' "
Let's Get Real:
The Ukraine is pushing Russia, its long range attacks are hurting Russia's production of oil, as noted the Russian car drivers are having fights over petrol, Crimea is in a state of Emergency, Russians that moved there, are leaving. Thus Putin needs a diversion, he knows Trump is erratic and weak, the best time to act with Trump in the White House. NATO or Western Europe is weak, Poland, Germany and the Baltic States are spending real money on defence, they see the threat from Putin. There is a new UK PM untested by War and French Elections coming up, the extreme right could win. Thus perfect time for action, small ground invasion or a massive cyber attack on a NATO countries. Trump is risk averse and will want to appease and NATO countries would be in a state of shock. Its coming folks, it cannot be avoided.
