Moldova, Baltia and Finland. Who else plans to attack Putin

If Putin is not stopped right now, he will try to capture Moldova, the Baltic, Finland, the political scientist Jason Smart warns in the column for The Hill. But, in fact, the Russian dictator is not in particular and hides his intentions.

The unwavering faith of Vladimir Putin is not unfounded in the advantage of autocracy: two years after the start of the war in Ukraine, having lost more than 200,000 Russian soldiers in Tryasovina, which would be a catastrophe for any democratic leader, Putin sees how the collective event loses his or her once strong support Ukraine.

Instead of being subjected to the original emotional indignation of the world by its full -scale invasion, Putin took a page from the "Handbook of the Mortgages of America": "Give him time, and the event will seem. " Putin now makes it clear that he has developed further post -Ukrainian plans for global destruction. We should not spend time and put an end to the Putin regime until it's too late.

Unable to capture Ukraine in 2014, Putin resumed his efforts in 2022, and last week predicted that "Odesa [Ukraine] is a Russian city. " The capture of Odessa will be the last stop before the Russian terror train dive deeper into Europe, to Moldova, just 31 miles from it. Moldova, like Ukraine, is not a member of NATO: the poorest country of Europe with the Armed Forces of less than 7,000 people will quickly be captured by Russian troops.

We should not be rejected as an exaggeration of Putin's promise about "Finland's Problems" because of joining NATO and anger, which he is under the Baltic States, which were vigorous supporters of Ukraine: Putin had already decided that they should not exist. The Baltic Country Military Strategy in the event of an "Russian bear arrival" is, in fact, to break into guerrilla units and restrain Russia for several weeks until NATO arrives.

Article 5 NATO orders that countries should assist NATO to an attacked member. However, inspired by President Trump, who is skeptical of NATO, in the event of re -election can use the voice of America to veto the use of Article 5. Putin may not start with a full -scale invasion of another European country, as President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky said: in Moscow: There are many threads that can be pulled in the Balkan powder drawer.

The autocracy of the world rejoice in America, which plays with the support of Ukraine, giving the wrong signal to other bad players: China's passion for Taiwan is well known; Venezuela moves to the conquest of Guyana; Iran supports terrorists who attack foreign vessels and wage war in Israel. The United States slows down the attackers but leave no bruises.

The world tyranny looks at Moscow and see that the main character of dictatorial history Putin was right from the very beginning: just be patient, persistent, exhaust the event, and then do what you want. Russia, like its closest allies, is under destructive sanctions-something in common with Moscow with illegal allies-non-governmental entities, such as drug cartels or Islamic terrorists.

Putin, in favor of deduumarization and refusal of the financial mechanisms of the West, hopes to provide parallel means of doing business to those who oppose the international order based on the rules. The global system itself built for hundreds of years challenges the fundamental challenge to the fraudsters who see how easily the West was distracted. Good news? The global click of autocrats, drug dealers and terrorists has only one leader: Russian Putin.

If Putin, the rod of power, is eliminated, the global network will be in a disorder. The event should be strongly supported by those who seek to build the world without Putin, starting with the Russian democratic opposition. Faced with problems within the country, Putin will not spend time to revaluation of his priorities to prevent his own fall.

In order to suppress internal chaos, Putin will have to distribute Russian troops that are now involved abroad, all over Russia, so that it can prevent the counter -revolution or disintegration of the federation. Considering the choice: interesting fantasies about the expansion of Russia or serving their own interests, such as preventing overthrowing, Russian leaders are predictable.

The "rigid" leader who captured the Kremlin after Putin is unlikely: usurpators who come to power without a plausible story, which justifies their claims for power, should acquire legitimacy, part of which is achieved through the possession of the largest nuclear arsenal in the world during combat . Applicants will compete for the Kremlin keys, which will require the presence of Russian troops in Moscow.
