Putin is in the ascendency. No need for Satan to find someone else. Pieces of the world will be broken off. These will be on the borders, on the frontiers. Like a person devouring a loaf of bread, he will first break off the parts that are easily in his grasp. This has already begun in the Ukraine. However, the Ukraine is not enough to satisfy his hunger. He eyes the Baltic states, especially Estonia and Latvia. Even with their ties to NATO, they are endangered. Putin will see how big a bite he can take. He will test the resolve of the European powers and will be surprised by their feeble reaction. Europe does not want to risk a war. Yet, the risk will be greater, if Europe is not strong.
