I'm 100% sure Russia will invade the Baltics by 2030 because the West showed it has 0 resolve and their deterrence is null, sending a few ammo packs and 10 rockets already has EU citizens crying tired like they spent 10 years fighting a world war.
So the second the war in Ukraine pauses, Russia will set up soldiers on the borders with Estonia and Latvia and maybe in Belarus, demand NATO rolls back to 1997 status and the US dismantles all military infrastructure and leaves Europe. Putin, Lavrov and Peskov will of course deny there are any plans for invasion because Russia has never invaded anyone in human history.
Then NATO will reject Russia's benevolent offer, Putin will say that fascist regimes in Riga and Tallinn are genociding Russians and he has to protect them and launch another "special denazification operation". In the meantime, millions of shills online will seamlessly switch from "Russia won't invade because why would it" to "Baltics had it coming, they poked the bear and Russia was forced to special operate".
