I’m just very skeptical of these ‘Putin wants to take more countries’ takes from politicians and defence officials. I mean he might. But they ramped up their military industry when they were being pushed back by Ukraine, so it was surely in response to that rather than any long term plan. I’ve also not seen Putin ever suggest that the baltics are on the menu let alone Poland/Germany etc. Weirdly America also don’t believe this and they surely have the best intelligence on this given they were pre-warning about the Ukraine invasion. I think and hope that it’s all political bluster.
