In Defence of NATO - 2nd Term Blues


Lets Get Real:

The Russian Bear has woken from its two decade hibernation and its claws are out, if your the Baltic States your worried that your the next target for Putin and his Russian Forces.   The Oval after its failure in Syria has to be seen to support a NATO ally, thus the Russians might find that by taking over the Crimea and being a threat to East Ukraine the West gets closer to the borders of Russia.   The NEW Cold War has started, the West has to be on its guard, someone like Putin will try for more land, either in East Ukraine, Poland or the Baltic States.   They intelligence networks of the West have to see Russia as a new threat, in some respects more of a threat than past terror threats, Russia is a nuclear armed power, but a failing State, minus it gas its structure is falling apart, the Russian people have allowed themselves to be conned by Putin, that kind of thing does not end well for any one, history is full of such conmen.
