The Baltics are protected under the EU defence clause, NATO or not they will be assisted by the EU. It's already quite clear the US has virtually left NATO, at this point they wouldn't assist at all with a landgrab in the Baltics

Ronald Lauder, the billionaire, has floated the idea about buying Greenland with Trump since his first time in office. The same Ronald Lauder then started buying businesses in Greenland. The Guardian put out a good article on it: https:&#x
