A century ago, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania fought to free themselves from Russian rule—only to be conquered again by the Soviet Union during World War II. When the USSR collapsed in 1991, they emerged devastated but determined to rebuild on Western terms. Over the next three decades, they transformed from poor post-Soviet republics into some of Europe’s fastest-growing economies—embracing democracy, digitalization, and NATO protection. But after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the old fear returned. Now, the Baltic State s are pouring billions into defense, fortifying borders, and training citizens to fight. Having risen from oppression to prosperity once before, they know exactly what they stand to lose.


The EU needs to liberate Kalinigrad ASAP.
No one wants this.
and give it to the checks
No me.
I promise I’ll be an ineffective and self indulgent ruler. I won’t do anything bad, but I won’t do anything good either, because I won’t do anything.
No. We do not attack others.
we can liberate it once Russia attacks us.
Fun fact: Russia has already offered Königsberg to both Poland and Germany. Neither would accept it.
yes, because it’s filled with Russians. XD
that’s a lot different than reclaiming the area via war.
