Regarding Tucker Carlson's article ..I think Putin does not want to start WW111...and is biding his time until a more sane administration takes over. The war mongers in the White House should not be released into society. They should be prosecuted for all the damage created in the last four years...
Almost all the Western misinformation about Putin's motives are reliably nonsensical.
What value is there for Putin in reacquring the Baltic States, so long as no-one tries to prevent Russia maintaining Kaliningrad as a winter port in the Baltic?
Why would Russia want to take over Poland, Romania, Bulgaria when there are no minerals that Russia does not already have in abundance? The only possible reason would be clearing out Americans from those new NATO colonies.
All Russia wants is for the psychopathic madfolk of the USA to keep out of Eastern Europe and let Russia engage normally with its geographical neighbours. It's much harder to do that if the USA is constantly fomenting coups d'etat, trying to site nuclear missiles targeting Russian cities and blocking legitimate free trade in oil and gas.

I didn't try that choice, myself.

I had already sent a message to my senators.

Look at the insights of Doctorow and Helmer. Putin is not waiting for Trump...
Putin is throwing spanners in the works of WW-3 already, as that communications-cable-cutting in the Baltic (last post) may have also been.
