This should also involve the following nations: Slovakia; Estonia; and, Latvia.

Given that the Obama administration is doing jack to support them, there should be some way for individuals to help these formerly Soviet-dominated counties defend their freedom once again. Defense bonds or gifts of some sort, available online to anyone who wants to contribute.
