Well when Putin invokes Hitler by saying they reserve the right to protect "ethnic Russians" anywhere while seeing the same ploy used in Ukraine the Baltic states have a right to be concerned. Especially since Russia kidnapped one of their nationals and put him on trial. When Putin says he could take 5 nato capitals in a short time period the baltic nations have a right to be concerned.
Deploying 1,000 troops is not a buildup.
MOSCOW — President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia has told a European official that he could “take Kiev in two weeks” if he wanted to, adding a new dimension to the tensions building in Ukraine as Russian forces become more involved in the fighting there.
As NATO leaders gathered in Wales for a summit meeting, Mr. Putin’s remarks and the increasing presence of Russian military units in Ukraine presented NATO with a stark new challenge about how to respond to Moscow’s apparent willingness to exert military force to achieve its foreign policy goals.
The Kremlin did not deny the remark, which was published in the Italian newspaper La Repubblica on Monday, but on Tuesday it denounced the European official, José Manuel Barroso, for leaking details of what Mr. Putin understood to be a private telephone call on Friday.

The OP seems to think only the Russians are doing wrong. He keeps failing to acknowledge the West's aggression which outdoes the Russian "aggression". Invading one nation, with some sort of reasoning. The reasoning is arguable, so I'm not going to say it was right. But look at American and NATO "interventions".

Ironic considering the pro russian supporters are the ones who went down the war avenue while overlooking everything else.
My comments on the next President was pointing out that Putin AND China have a short window to grab things before we elect a president with a backbone.
Relying on Russia for a ceasefire in Syria is like relying on Russia for a cease fire in Ukraine = its not gonna happen since they use cease fires to regroup / rearm / continue their attacks.

So nothing on topic about Russia threatening NATO?
Maybe spend some more time on reading the op and understanding the situation and less time taking a stroll down blame America to change the topic because I cant refute the op lane.
