“Russia is already boarded by 3 NATO countries: Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.”
Don’t forget Poland. Kaliningrad, which is the westernmost Russian land in Europe, is wedged between Poland and Lithuania, both NATO countries. And Kaliningrad is armed to the teeth.
“Kaliningrad is armed to the teeth.”
My maternal grandmother was from Kaliningrad. When she and her husband came to the US in the 1890’s, it was part of East Prussia. The home of fighting Germans. I read recently that Prussians were 40% of the force that with the British won the Battle of Waterloo against Napoleon. Never got their share of the credit. Both my mother and I have been fighters for prosperity and justice. My son is now retiring after more than 20 years in Special Forces. I once read that in Spain experts look to the fighting spirit of the mothers when they select bulls for the bull fighting arena. Lithuania, small but high in courage and determination.
