Putin has issued a thinly-veiled threat to former Soviet Union countries – warning they could share the same fate as Ukraine for defying Russia.
The Russian President made clear he would not hesitate to take the same action against them should they turn against the Kremlin, and would no longer ‘be allies’ with the country.
Mr Putin’s comments followed those of the president of Kazakhstan, who had described the pro-Russian regions of Donetsk and Luhansk in the Donbas as ‘quasi-states territories’.
As Kassym-Jomart Tokayev sat metres away from him at the St Petersburg Economic Forum, he claimed Kazakhstan – which left the USSR in 1991 – was part of ‘historic Russia’.
Estonia alone could muster the firepower to destroy Russia. Putin doesn't know who he's fucking with. The combined population of the Baltic states is 170 million - 30 million more than Putinistan. Add Finland to the mix and Moscow falls in under three minutes.

so putin will not only declare war to Lithuania but also Kazakhstan? Is he mentally ill?
To be fair Kazakhstan president entirely owes his stay in power and possibly even his life to Putin who saved his ass from nearly successful coup this winter, so unless this is diplomatic lip service to avoid getting flak from westoids, he behaves like complete nigger, or even worse, hohol.

What are you smoking? Baltic dont have even 10 mil population and half of it are Russians.

the fuck? poland should be counted as part of the former soviet union as well as half those shit holes above greece (not to say greece isn't a shithole)

Just like you Recucklicans, Putin will do nothing.
Russia would alianate (and even worse) China if they attack Kazakhstan or other Central Asian countries. These are shared backyard with China and strategically important countries. Kaz is extremely important for China's land route cargo heading to EU, Kaz also is energy provider for China. Sharing 1200 kilometers border is no small thing either.

All you western glowniggers helped cause this by not just executing politicians that had sex with kids. You blackmailed them instead and set up a framework for the last 7 years. Burn in hell glownigger faggot kike scum. You all need to to defended and abolished and completely smashed.
Unless the entire coup and solution was manufactured by Kreml. Judging by recent Kazakh attitude towards Russia there propably is no smoke without fire.

"International law" exists only when mutts want it to exist, and doesn't exist when they don't. I though mutt client state is supposed to be aware of that, given they buck broke you so much you see it as some god given objective thing.
