Russian Aggression Brings High Anxiety to Polish Border Towns
SUWALKI, Poland—The bucolic region around the Polish-Lithuanian border has long been known for its rolling farmlands, serene lakes and historic cities.
To strategists in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, it is now also known as a danger spot.
Suwalki, a city of almost 70,000, sits along the 45-mile corridor of NATO territory between two Russian military strongholds. To the southeast is Belarus, a close Russian ally that has served as a base for its invasion of Ukraine. To the northwest is Kaliningrad, a chunk of Russia that was disconnected from the rest of the country by the breakup of the Soviet Union.
Western military strategists call it the Suwalki Gap. What worries them is that Russia, having seized the Crimean Peninsula in 2014 and invaded Ukraine this year, might resort to force to try to take over the border region, which would link Kaliningrad with Belarus.

Considering the shit they're going through now I doubt Russia wants to take on NATO. Maybe if the Mango Mussolini was still president.
