Naturally, the #Baltic nations - when you look at #Estonians, #Latvians, #Lithuanians, or #Nordic countries like #Finland - understand that they will be on the front line. They know they will have to fight. But the tragic reality is that if something happens in #Lithuania, #Ukraine is the only country they can count on.

For Russia, it really won’t change much. The people have already been indoctronited since 2014 that Ukraine = NATO.
Albeit it’s a lie. And Russian lies are difficult to understand. I believe this is a ”Vranyo”: Everyone knows you’re lying but you do it anyway, and you know they know. So that would make us stupid because we didn’t know they were bluffing.
But you know who’d know? #ukrainians, #estonians #latvians #georgians.. Listen to them.
