- daliusd 2y agoPretty sure. I am from Lithuania (Baltic country) and here some reasons why Russia might find us worthy to occupy again: it is hard to defend Baltic countries from Russia, we were ruining Russia’s image before it was cool to do, Suwalki corridor
- aguaviva 2y agoVery sure. It does seem quite likely that, by the time Putin made the decision he did in 2022 -- if he could have also grabbed the Baltics, he would have.
