I agree. The best thing that could happen is if all of the people in this area could kill Putin’s thugs either with a firearm or a knife, but any weapon would be fine. Eliminate Putin’s threats to them and evolve to a free, just, and independent country not dominated by a narcissistic dictator.

Putin will move into a place like Narva. The locals are ethnic Russian and won’t fight. His troops will take their insignia off and hide behind girls like they did in Crimea.
The problem I see is that it’s not clear if the Baltic governments will fight the Russians. You hear a lot of “we are a small country...” over there. Facing Russian aggressioin there is a strong probability Estonia would just invoke Article V and wait for help.
The Baltic peoples who took up arms against the Soviets the first time around were country folks. City folks for the most part were not armed partisans. Nowadays there just is not a large and able rural population in the Baltics. Also, some of the leaders of the Baltics are former commies with questionable ethics. That leads me to seriously doubt they will fight the Russian bear if it reappears.
Knives? Against storm troopers with rifles? I don’t think so.
