"The times of peace are over, the post-war era is over. We live in new times - in the pre-war era; for some of our brothers, this is no longer even the pre-war era, but the period of full-scale war in its most cruel version," Tusk said.

I think Putin wants the Baltics and hopes the other countries won't go to war over them.

Yep they are exactly where he is going to start. It fixes the pesky problem of the Kaliningrad Oblast and improves Russian cold weather port access.

Worthless ports as not a single ship bound to russia will ever get through the Danish straits again if they invade the baltics.

So? As if that stopped Putin in the black sea

They saw in 2014 that the international community will just ignore a fucking invasion if they simply remove the insignia from their uniforms and pretend Russia has nothing to do with it. Phew, thank God this invasion happening in plain view is just some big misunderstanding and we don't actually have to go help our ally defend themselves from unprovoked expansionist agression

Talk about conflict avoiding behavior.

Why stop at the Baltics?
