Latvia, Estonia and now Finland are all NATO and all border Russia. So I suppose they have it coming too huh? How dare they unite against a totalitarian aggressor.
Yes, and their membership in NATO was a major sticking point - if not for the Ukraine war, I think we would have seen a Russian invasion of Finland when they announced their intention to join NATO. Throughout the Cold War Finland managed to remain a neutral power and was never invaded by Soviets. They should have remained that way. Their membership in NATO will continue to be a source of regional tension well after the end of the Ukraine conflict.
if you push that timeline back slightly, they were invaded by the soviets during wwII and lost territory, which to this day they have not regained. Why should they trust Russia now, when they have clearly not abandoned their imperial ambitions.
The source of regional tension is imperialist Russia.
