Putin is planning on going after every country that used to be part of the Soviet Union. He wants his legacy to be a "whole", Russia again. He said in his speech yesterday that Ukraine was not a legitimate country, and should never have been allowed to break away. I'm sure he feels the same way about the others, and they best be getting prepared.

Then China would be Finland's neighbor.

The poor and working folks don't have million dollar condos in Florida to winter in the sunshine.
