Russia's Invasion of Ukraine Renews Fears in Poland and Baltics ..

And why not with all the Chicken shits that are standing by and allowing this to happen ... 'incursion', my ass:
Russia's incursion into Ukraine rattled nerves in capitals across the region, with officials from Poland to the Baltics calling Moscow's move an act of war.
"There's the American saying: If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it is a duck," Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said on state radio when asked if Russia was waging a war on Ukraine.
Poland and the Baltic states, which suffered decades of oppression under Soviet rule during the Cold War, have been urging their North Atlantic Treaty Organization partners for months to take a harder stance against Moscow.
The presence of Russian troops in Ukraine, they say, proves they were right.
On Thursday, Lithuania's foreign ministry called the attack an "obvious invasion of the territory of Ukraine by the armed forces of the Russian Federation." "This is war," Latvian Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkevics said on Twitter, TWTR -0.16% calling on the United Nations Security Council to intervene.
Latvia and Estonia have sizable Russian minorities and many there worry that Moscow could use the same rationale it has in Ukraine about protecting the local Russian population to move into their countries.
Unlike Ukraine, however, all of the Baltic states belong to NATO, as does Poland.
The countries' leaders have been pushing their NATO partners to station more troops in the region as a display of solidarity against Moscow. But other alliance members, led by the U.S. and Germany, have resisted, wary of provoking Russia. Instead, they have agreed to token measures, such as increasing air patrols in the region.
The debate over what course the alliance should pursue could come to a head next week at a NATO summit in the U.K. At issue is whether NATO should build permanent bases on the territory of its members nearest Russia. (emphasis is mine)
