Russia is more concerned with re-establishing the old Russian Empire than it is rebuilding the Soviet Bloc. And do not forget, there are millions of Russians stranded outside the borders of their native countries in the old Soviet republics. Many of them would welcome being annexed.

Right, the Baltic states have reason for concern, especially if Putin sees Trump giving him the green light to start squeezing them. But Poland isn’t going to be invaded by Russia.
