There is a "real and present danger" of Russia trying to destabilise the Baltic states of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, the UK defence secretary says.
Michael Fallon said he was worried about "pressure" from Russian President Vladimir Putin on the ex-Soviet states, which are Nato members.
Russia might use tactics there similar to those it used in Ukraine, he said.
Mr Fallon said Nato must be ready for aggression from Russia "in whatever form it takes".

I heard somewhere that whilst we've been cutting defence spending etc. Russia has almost tripled its own spending.
I reckon we have a big problem looming. Putin is doing what Hitler did and stirring up all sorts of nationalist sentiment in order to deflect attention from the country's economy and pursue his own agenda. There's no doubt in my mind that he will carry on with his current tactics and I have a feeling it's just a question of time before he makes a major miscalculation and all hell breaks loose.
Maybe the EU will come to the rescue eh?
