Keep an eye on what Russia is doing around Lithuania and Estonia. They have positioned their new fast strike nuclear cruise missles facing NATO forces. The US has just landed a tank brigade in Poland to reinforce NATO capability, but tanks are little use against fast delivery nukes. The Ruskies are stirring up trouble among Russian minorities in these countries, just like they did in the Ukraine. They ptovude support for a local gureilla war to start, then move in to protect Russian speakers and their interest. Its the Ukraine playbook all over again. But this time nukes are on the ground and NATO is suppose to defend. Trump probably won't care what Putin does there, but if they nuke the tank brigade that is another story. I suspect Trump will pull the tanks out and tell NATO to look after itself in that area. This is the hot spot imho.
