BBC News: Reports " Hundreds of US military vehicles have arrived in the Baltic states and are to stay in Europe, in a mission to reassure Nato allies unsettled by Russia's actions in Ukraine. "
Lets Get Real:
This is a smart move by the US and NATO, the Russian bear was starting to think it could do as it liked in the Eastern Europe and the Baltic States. The comes with a risk, what if President Putin tries the same strategy in the Baltic as he used in the Crimea and East Ukraine, gets the minority Russian population worked up and then arms them, then sends in Russian troops to cause problems, that would call in to question the future of NATO, its either one for all or its nothing. The Kremlin might view Obama as a walkover, the new Neville Chamberlain and thus try their luck, this move by NATO will have long term results, keep an eye on the Baltic and Russian moves to get the Baltics back in to the Russian sphere of influence.
