No they don't. Why didn't Russia do anything when the Baltics were in the process of joining NATO? If they had plans for them, they were going to do it before they joined the biggest defense alliance.
If you think this is like Germany 90 years ago, I recommend you read up some history.
- dtquad 2y agoThe Baltics joined NATO in 2004 when the Russian economy was less than 1/4th the size of what it is now and Russia had just come out of the economic chaos of the 1990s. Their armed forces were also deeply dysfunctional and underfunded back then and struggled against pockets of Chechen separatists.
