Headline: Jasper Dietz: Baltic countries vulnerable to Russian invasion, need more NATO help

Short Summary: Policy analysis claims the Baltic states are at significant risk of Russian kinetic action and sabotage, with current NATO measures judged insufficient.

Description

An opinion article highlights the vulnerability of the Baltic countries (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania) to a potential Russian invasion and underscores the need for greater NATO support. The author cites a recent report outlining Russian efforts to sabotage the region from Kaliningrad and argues that current NATO deployments are insufficient to deter or defend against a rapid attack.
