NATO will do nothing against a false flag operation, which will be the go ahead signal for Putin to launch a full scale invasion of the Baltics.

Europe is in extreme danger beyond anything they have faced since WW2. Russia has an ally in the USA. Putin is certain that Trump and the Republicans will do nothing if Russia assaults Europe. NATO allowed Europe to be attacked for a decade with hybrid warfare and never invoked article 5.
