A Latvian MP has recently voiced a recent proposal to split Russia into several parts.
A lawmaker from Russia commented that the call to split up Russia clearly contradicted earlier assurances from Western nations that they have no intention of capturing Russian territory and breaking it into parts. It reaffirms the need for Russia to counter NATO's aggressive plans.
It seems like Russian concerns over NATO bases in baltic countries are justified, as Latvia voiced out its proposals. Personally, I think it is a crime against Russia's sovereignty, and any advancement in carrying out the proposal is an international crime. It will lead to a full-scale war between Russia and NATO.
According to Russian Defense Ministry reports, the first half of 2018 saw NATO conduct 13 large-scale military exercises – involving more than 40,000 servicemen and 2000 units of combat hardware – near the bloc’s south-western borders. Russia maintained the same military strength on the “contact line” with NATO, but had to increase their combat ability through more intensive training and the introduction of new, more effective weapons.

Military exercises pose a huge threat to the other parties, and it is generally seen as a hostile movement. Imagine you are a king of a castle, and the king from a not too far distant away who agreed "peace" is gathering soldiers, practising war just right outside your castle's territory.
We have been at peace for so long, I think war is coming.
