You miss my point.
Putin is not rational.
The mere fact that he threatens nuclear holocaust and is building for it.
He does not view nuclear weapons as a deterrent but as an everyday weapon of choice.
And in no way is he leaving power. He is consolidating it.
There is now no dissent or opposition in Russia it has all been eliminated by brute force or the fear of anhilation.
The same fear that Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Poland has. Not to mention Czech, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania etc.
This is playing with fire for all of Europe once again by Germany and Russia.
It sends chills up my spine and makes my hair stand on end the more I realize the implicatons of this collaboration.
IMHO This new development with Germany while I can understand the need for energy security bodes ill for the future security of Germany in general.
Hope im wrong.
AND
"There's no one suddenly seriously upgrading their forces with enough power to rule the Baltic Sea - "
Russia and Germany are and have been doing just that.
And reread what you just wrote;
"not that any of the countries involved would be crazy enough to try to counter the Russian Baltic Fleet or the German 2nd Flotilla (or both combined!) in that theater anyway."
You see nothing wrong with that statement?!?!?!?!?!?!????!
You think the people in the countries Ive mentioned dont????????????
You yourself have mentioned the strained relations with Poland do you think they would find such a statement helpful????????????????
Do you put current events into an historical context?
Your assurances that everything is fine are worse than being doused by a pail of cold water during an ice storm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Feanor has mentioned a "chill" in the air but it isnt as he proposes a US/European issue.
Its a totally European/European issue.
Although right now Im about frozen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because blaming the US for the consequences of Germany and Russias mystifying, insensitive to history unilateral actions are already flowing from the global propaganda mill.
And that must be what the vehemently anti-US FEANOR must be talking about although he as usual refuses to provide any documentation.
So who knows?
