Putin used the false flag of Russians living in Ukraine being abused as the reason to invade. If PUtin is successful then what will keep him from using that same false flag to try and retake the Baltic countries?

Right, those Baltic countries are members of NATO and we are obligated to militarily intervene should they be invaded.

Frankly, it would seem better to support Ukraine now with resources other than troops rather than becoming dragged into an all out war over the Baltic countries.

I should add that I know a friend of one of my sons who is married to a woman whose Russian parents were sent to Latvia during the Russian occupation. The friend of my son is still living in Latvia with his wife and family.

Maybe General Patton was right.
