Perhaps I misread your post, I thought you said liberating them from Russia would be a PITB.

Yes. I anticipate that, worst case scenario, the Russians could overrun them or at least establish a substantial lodgement in them. This is because of their unfortunate geographic situation (look up the “Suwalki gap”), which could make it difficult to reinforce them in timem depending on how the pre-war plays out.

NATO would then have to eject the Russians. Thats what I think could be a problem.
