EUROPE is looking to build a giant 1,500 mile defensive line to protect itself from a chilling Vladimir Putin invasion.

Poland and the Baltics are planning to create the £2.2billion blockade to keep Russia from advancing through the continent as the threat of WW3 looms.

The brave allied nations revealed the plans on Wednesday as they asked the European Union for help with the project.

Leaders from Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia all claim a protective blockade is essential to protect Europe from a dangerous Moscow.

Putin has been ramping up his military threats among other worrying activities as he repeatedly tells the West to avoid getting involved in his war in Ukraine.

The leaders of the four countries who put together the plan described the need for extra protection as "dire and urgent".

The Russians must be laughing all the way to Stalingrad.  Such lines didn't stop German from invading France, Russia invading Germany, or the US invading Normandy in WWII.  Why do they think it will stop anything now with more advanced technology?

They forgot about the Maginot Line...and how well that worked.

They forgot about the Maginot Line...and how well that worked.

Actually, it worked:  the Franco-German border was not breached. Instead the Nazis trampled on neutral Belgium and Holland, even as the Kaiser's troops had trampled on Belgian neutrality to outflank it.

Besides, since the numbered world wars, everyone knows that defense-in-depth is the only way to go.  A NATO defense line won't be static pillboxes like the Maginot Line, but a combination of dragons' teeth and other tank traps, sensors, sites to launch drones and missiles from and a forward deployment of air assets and combined-arms troops.

I'm still waiting for the Great Wall of America, closing and securing our border along Mexico.

It can be said the Line worked, but the strategy didn't.
