Will the Baltics be next? How likely is Vladimir Putin to attack NATO? | Wider View 

Sláva Estonia!🇪🇪 also/or 🇪🇪Elagu Eesti!!

We will keep supporting Ukraine as long as it takes! 💙💛

if NATO help Ukraine to win. they don't have to deal with Russian empire later.

Good reporting. Thank you. Strong democracy.

Is it just me or does it seem like politicians like shaking hands and taking group pictures more than governing?

The girl from Riga was right I'm afraid. Tanks are the least of their worries.

Mark Rutte does not raelize how evil the danger coming from Russia is. He is not a bad politician but goes for his own agenda first, with much charisma and not a vision and insight for the continent!

Well, if the "horrible" does happen and Ukraine loses, I think NATO has a real problem. Fortunately, the Baltic States will be great allies in NATO. I'm in the US.

Impossible scénario, Putler with all the might of the Russian army couldn’t take Kiev 😂😂😂😂

Kaja Kallas for Nato chief.

I simply can not imagine how could Ruusia fight war against Europe on its own.

Finland, Sweden, Norway? Is Putin crazy enough for that? Because if he goes for the Baltics he might very well have to deal with that too. He might be nuts enough, though...

No, Moldova would be first then the Baltic countries, one at a time. As far as NATO's reactions go, that depends heavily on the American election in November, without the US NATO is extremely vulnerable.

wo do no training whatsoever here in Latvia. Among my friends here, it's 50/50. My family have had bags and food packed for quite some tine, as soon as any troops come close to the border we are off!

❤❤❤❤TVP World 🇵🇱

Considering ruzzia stack in Eastern Ukraine for more than 2 years without a serious gain , how can one imagine them opening the second front in Baltic sea area ? Either they are suicidal or , which is more likely - they became totally insane.

The new man who replace Shuigo,he will enlarge the scale of manpower and industial hardware for the offensive by the next couple of years?

We can't take any chances.

They are preparing yesterday 25 may, Estonia was full of military viecles

I'd like to express my approval and appreciation of this new program from the TVP World network. The production of the show was excellent, with the host being clear and articulate as well as dignified and personable, whilst the guests were also clear and articulate as well as being informative and insightful. As per usual, TVP World does a great job in providing important context and scope with respect to the Eastern European geopolitical climate, and I look forward to the second edition/episode of "Wider View". As an Australian citizen, I am grateful that TVP World is accessible to me, and I have nothing but positive words to say about this media outlet. Thanks guys, SLAVA UKRAINI!!

Preparing cookes,

As one who is old enough to remember the U.S. news coverage & political figures of the 1960's & 70's, i find it deeply troubling how that a typical opening day of meetings of the NATO alliance or the EU is more like opening night of a Broadway play. Smiles everywhere, even some giddy laughter. In comparison, today's meetings of officials of the Russian Federation look much like NATO meetings of the 1960's & 70's did (in appearance), businesslike, serious, un-smiling. After all, this IS serious business...isn't it ?

I like this format! I dont believe in the GDP as one digit. GDP in every part of it is more interesting and the last shown number is mostly not showing how wealthy a country is. I mean: there are many ways to cheat the count up.

Wow. It's rare for a beautiful woman (ie Mrs Karolina) to be so interested in war (ie ISW).

The Baltics have reliable partners JEF: UK, FI, SE, NO, DK, NL+ PL, US

Can you deside please are they attacking all EEurope or they are just a gas station with shovels?

Nothing. No. That is a good demand. And should be a clause in NATO. No one who doesn't meet the min %2 spending threshold should be leading NATO. Hell, as a Canuck, I think one of the Eastern countries that *didn't* have their heads stuffed up their asses about russia should be the next ones up. Personally leaning Poland, but one of the Baltics would suit me, too.

God protect West Europe ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Well if you say so many bad words about Russia like the Baltics do be sure that one day Russia will come to ask "why are you so mean?"

Why are you deleting comments against Russia?

Ukraine is not a lesson learned for Baltic states but the first line of defense. They should send their specific forces to aid Ukrainian army. Waiting and not fighting Russian invasion on the first line of defense is neither wise or nor strategic approach!

It is real but the coward does not dare confronting NATO 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Excellent. Re Trump and Russian policy. Trump has re-appointed Moscow’s point man in the 2016 campaign, Paul Manafort into his 2024 campaign.

What debt load? debt matters no more. Dude at FED (US federal reserve bank) push the button that makes trillion $ times X. X is numeric key he press. That is yankee economy. The problem $$$$ alone produce no tanks, bullets, butter or enriched uranium 235 or even single oz of gold

You always said that Russian is a threat to NATO nations, but Russia never put their leg into NATO soil. Whereas NATO always constantly expanded and provoked Russia by establishing a corridor of weakening Russia from day to day? This is Russia's expansion power or Nato's extension in order to weaken Russia without shamelessly.....

Had Putin been successful in Ukraine in 2022, border tensions would have increaased with Estonia & Poland Poland.in2024

the assertion that it is too difficult for citizens of the USA to not be able to understand how these issues in europe are important for the USA strategically is a falacy... Afghanistan Iran Iraq North Korea China are all further from the USA than europe and most americans understand how those are strategically important for the USA. Finnish American dual citizen that moved back to Finland (again) in 2018... ISW memeber do better. all analysts downplay and misjudge the intelligence of the general public. ffs

Two choices for the West - either intervening directly and fighting Russia on its own, or starting serious negotiations with Russia on the topic of Ukraine’s NATO membership and, more broadly, security in Eastern Europe. The first one the west has no resource base to turn trillions of Euros in to tanks. The second one you need to read AGAIN this dreadful Putins Dec 2021 ultimatum on rolling back NATO borders to 1996 state. On Dec 2021 US spat on it due to Ukraine NATO proxi forces were primed and ready to fight Russia. These forces been ground up and spat by Putin.

Makes no sense, Ukraine’s popular pro-European trajectory was abruptly halted in November 2013, when a planned association agreement with the EU was scuttled just days before it was scheduled to be signed. The accord would have more closely integrated political and economic ties between the EU and Ukraine, but Yanukovych bowed to intense pressure from Moscow. Street protests erupted in Kyiv! The people took down a pro Russian politician Response: I am aware what happened there in 2013-2014 Kiev events and it is not from western MSM media what you are most likely reading from. Yanukovich indeed was shopping around between Moscow and EU who is going to chip in more money. The EU offer was no $$. Apply with no conditions. Moscow offer $$ was much better. Where Moscow failed they did not promise Ukrainians 500 euro pensions and $2000 monthly salaries the western propaganda did. Average monthly salary in Ukraine 2013 was $300 per month. To support political unrest USA NED National Endowment for Democracy spent $5 billion to finance Kiev 2014 political coup (confirmed by Victoria Nuland). Protesters where bussed from outside Kiev and paid $100 per day to protest. Ukraine constitution stipulated at a time, President can only be removed: on his own resignation or his death. Paid and financed western Assassinations on YANUKOVICH commenced and made him run away to Russia. US approved Ukraine nationalists like Yaceniuk installed in power. Constitutional judges where chased out and new head of state appointed. Ukraine constitution was broken. You can still see same today where now dictator Zelenski holding on to his power. The rest is history. The biggest loosers are Ukraine and west European prosperity. The winner is US who stole European prosperity.

Russia is losing in Ukraine, so why they should atttack the Baltics?

Czemu robicie wszystko w narracjj nakierowując Polaków na wojnę ktorej nie czują i nie chcą

full support to Russia from Warsaw, Poland

Is west upholding democracy in Ukraine? Immediate after western financed 2014 Kiev coup constitutional judges where disbanded by newly installed Ukraine nationalists. Ukraine constitution was violated producing illegitimate new government who lead this country into civil war 2014-2022. The Ukrainian Constitution does explicitly forbid parliamentary elections and some kinds of referendums during national emergencies, but says nothing about presidential elections. The Constitutional Court has not ruled on how the current impasse should be resolved. We have ilegit president leading thousand to eastern front slaughter house under “We are winning”

NATO / USA should not have depose/ subvert democratically elected Ukraine president in 2014. Why coup? No one told you that? Do you know why US did it? read my posts.

Lilita varētu iemācīties runāt maigāk. Mauc kā tirgus bāba!

Hey Ding Dong, The US IS NOT withdrawing from NATO even if Trump were to be re-elected. But it is time for Europe to get its house in order and properly fund your defense. With our current debt load, we need our friends to help more in their own defense. It’s that simple.

Ridiculus. Germany will first Stop Poland and pri Baltic republic of making New Polish Litvanian Commonwealth. Germans are smart enough to understand that this new big Polish Lithuanian commonwealth may turn on them at any given time.

As soon as I see an entirely female of panel guests I doubt the message, as they seem to be a 'woke' choice, where being politically correct is the primary concern.

before you make such idiotic videos with even more stupid question titles look at the history when Russia attacked or colonized someone from the other side Russia was attacked by the Ottomans by the French by the Germans and everything ended fatally for the attackers as it will end now for The Anglo-Saxons
