Jarosław Stróżyk said Putin is in a position where he could begin planning a small-scale invasion but is holding back due to the West's response to the attack in Ukraine.

"Putin is certainly already prepared for some mini-operation against one of the Baltic countries, for example, to enter the famous Narva [municipality in Estonia] or to land on one of the Swedish islands," Mr Stróżyk told Polish paper Dziennik Gazeta Prawna.

Tl;dr - We think that Putin has the capability to mount a small scale invasion, but isn’t doing it because of NATO’s potential response. But if we assume he really wants to, then he will.

They are not going to get a quarter mile into the EU (that's 0.4 km for you Euros). NATO doesn't need to march a bunch of missiles through the streets to feel tough. They keep them ready to go at the airbase.

Putin could put his cock in a hornet nest and jiggle it about, but would he?

The Russians are welcome. Our archers and griffins will feast on them.
