A century ago, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania fought to free themselves from Russian rule—only to be conquered again by the Soviet Union during World War II. When the USSR collapsed in 1991, they emerged devastated but determined to rebuild on Western terms. Over the next three decades, they transformed from poor post-Soviet republics into some of Europe’s fastest-growing economies—embracing democracy, digitalization, and NATO protection. But after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the old fear returned. Now, the Baltic State s are pouring billions into defense, fortifying borders, and training citizens to fight. Having risen from oppression to prosperity once before, they know exactly what they stand to lose.
Bro is yappin a bunch about “uuh provoking russia bad” but that strategy has been tried and proven to be fucking stupid. Russia didnt invade Ukraine because of “provocations” and their goal isnt peace.
The only thing Russia understands is power, the EU should be ready to meet them with power.
The EU needs to liberate Kalinigrad ASAP.
Slightly off topic, but when Russia will finally attack, do you genuinely think the other NATO countries outside of the EU will help? That thought sends a chill down my spine.
I wouldn’t count on the US for shit.
But I would count on the rest of the allience. I believe everyone except maybe Trump, Orban and Erdogan would help.
But even without them Nato is powerful enough to take down any enemy.
I wouldn’t either, what I do count on is the US military brass. I am sure that the majority of the officer corps is an avid NATO-supporter and hasn’t forgotten that the US actually called the 5th and NATO responded. I say not responding to the 5th will cause a sismic shift in the leadership of the US military.

At least there is a US military presence in the Baltics . USA usually doesn’t like it very much when their people are attacked or killed. I do hope they are being payed though ( Congressional shutdown and all).
Pretty sure the UK and would fully support the Baltic countries. Turkey is a bit of a dark horse and might stick to relatively minor support.The US… Who the hell even knows.
