Baltic Countries
* The small Baltic countries (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) will never feel safe alongside the arrogant giant Russia, until these countries become part of NATO. The article, “Russian Warnings Worry Neighbors” (April 21), clearly demonstrates the seriousness of the situation.
When Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev states “use of armed forces should not be ruled out,” an invasion by Russia is not only possible but quite probable. The Baltic countries need the backbone of NATO to discourage any adventurism by Russia.
