There is a terrifying new war brewing in Europe that'll make the Ukraine crisis look like a playground scuffle... and we are just one spark or mistake away from oblivion: BOB SEELY
As the world's attention is fixed on Ukraine, a far more dangerous crisis is brewing in the Baltic – one that could explode this summer. A deadly showdown between Russian and Nato vessels is ever more likely on its dark waters that could make the events on the steppes of Donetsk look like a playground scuffle.
For months, Nato countries have reported a string of sabotage attempts on vital undersea internet, energy and communications cables. Then, last week, Russia 's Baltic and Northern Fleets launched a massive display of military strength in those waters: more than 20 warships, 25 aircraft and helicopters, and 3,000 troops took to sea.
