The Russian leader already has troops ready to launch a lightning takeover of eastern Europe in a move which would unleash a devastating global conflict on Europe’s doorstep.
And if NATO nations fail to respond to the threat with stronger resolve a future conflict could have “fatal consequences” for the decades-old alliance.
The chilling warning from NATO’s former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, General Sir Richard Shirreff, comes amid icy tensions between Moscow and the West.
Russia has become increasingly militaristic over the last 18 months, embroiling itself in conflicts in Ukraine and Syria, as Mr Putin vies to deflect attention away from the struggling economy.
And despite Western sanctions over its annexation of the Crimean peninsula the country retains a formidable fighting force, as demonstrated by its obliteration of Islamic State (ISIS) positions in the Middle East.
General Shirreff warned: “It is clear that Russia is capable of surprising the West…with potentially devastating implications for eastern Poland and fatal consequences to the Alliance.”
