    And appeasing them has not led to war?

    If they make small incursions into the Baltic nations, would you also support appeasement and enabling such actions?

    The reason I ask is that I have close friends living in the central EU and they’ve definitely mentioned the presence of an attitude of cowardice among certain people “let them have the Baltics, they probably won’t get to us”.

    What are those economic interests? What is the number? What is it as a percentage of annual EU GDP?

      I’m not supporting anyone, I don’t know what’s the best way to deal with Russia, what i know is that if any European country decides to retaliate, that would be enough material for russian propaganda to legitimate further acts of war. But I may be wrong :)

        That’s fair.

        enough material for russian propaganda to legitimate further acts of war.

        You should watch some russian propaganda. They already show “news” pieces about how their nukes can reach London and other European cities. That ship has sailed.
