    Here’s my prediction for historical purposes:

    • In the next 10 years the three Baltic nations will be invaded
    • it’s done via North West Russia, Belarus and Kaliningrad simultaneously
    • This leaves only the tiny border with Poland to defend for those states if it’s successful because subs are gonna sub any coastal attempt at a D-Day
    • Tactical, low yield nukes will be used to deter future responses because NATO has shown a strategic weakness on their desire to avoid escalation
    • It’s coordinated with an invasion of Taiwan to spread the West thin

    That’s it. That’s my prediction based on having lived through the cold war and being interested in history.

    I really fucking hope I’m wrong.
