If Ukraine falls and there is timid response from NATO and the west, the Baltics are next in line in Putin's maniacal reclamation of the empire. Probably under the guise of "liberating" Russian minorities in countries like Estonia.
My mother's whole side is Estonian. She despises Russia with the fire of a thousand suns.

Nice person otherwise, but there is a lot of indoctrination among Russian settlers and their descendants within former Soviet countries. The partial Rusification of the Baltic states has always been an elephant in the room when they were admitted into NATO. Depending how this war goes, there could be a lot of infighting there.
