I would like to add here that Baltics (along with others) have served their fair share as a buffer against Russian expansion into west for good part of the 20th century by being occupied by Soviets and incorporated into USSR. Who knows how far to the west the Iron Curtain would divide Europe if not for these countries. And they paid with tens of thousands deported to prison camps [1] and decades long crippling of societies and economy under soviets. So I think there is also a little bit of moral obligation of West (incl. US) to support them today. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_deportation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_deportation
