The formerly united west is breaking up right now, with Trump and brexit ony being symptoms of the underlying rot.
Remember Putin's "multipolar world" speech? This is certainly what he hopes for. A multipolar world with single nations not belonging to a bloc or pact will make Russia stronger of course, after their own bloc/pact disintegrated in the 1990ies.
I am not sure but i think he is just waiting for NATO and a western pact breaking apart, and he did not even need to do something, the west does it all by itself.
I am not sure, but regarding what just now happens, the second Putin doubts there will be no unipolar retaliation by the west anymore, he will make his move.

I can come up with some countries Putin would invade, if NATO/EU collapse.
Ukraine, Moldova and most likely Gotland(Sweden)
France. I hope they'll find some other buyer to these 12 Sub.
