Excellent point. The Latvian and Estonia dilemma. Each country has nearly a 50% Russian speaking..pro Russia population. This may not end well for NATO hardliners. It may have been too hasty to have extended both NATO and EU memberships to these countries as early as 2004. Latvia went full bankrupt in four short years later(2008) during the US subprime melt down. EU needed to bail out Latvia (The Largest Baltic Market) to close to a trillion $ in the first months (all their banks became insolvent).
These countries will probably see much political turmoil after the Ukraine situation. Some may want to back away from the NATO position. If they take the aggressive NATO position, I would think the Russians inside would create much counter opposition and be active in voting. Possible breakaway activity in the districts along the Russian border.
The story often not told is in these eastern EU countries, once they get the EU passport, much of their younger population (18-35) leave for Western Europe for jobs, benefits, handouts, free schools and healthcare..ect. In Latvia, in the months following their admission to EU, 50% of all their young women left and went to Western Europe to work as escorts. This is also true in Ukraine. In Ukraine, this exit population were replaced with foreign actors. many extremists from Israel, ISS, criminal opportunists, shady international bankers and weapons dealers...Ukraine were offering passports by investment from 2014. Most of the people there left fighting probably mercenary dual passport holders which are there as proxy from other foreign interests...a power play at work.
The whole internal situation in Ukraine is starting to look exactly like Syria in the months leading up to the Russia intervention there. Similar motivation and people.

I think you may be making a fundamental mistake to assume Russian speakers in Latvia and Estonia, and even in the Donbass region are necessarily Russian sympathizers. These "Russians" have all had access to government propaganda from both sides and from their own personal experiences are able to determine which side is the more truthful -- This despite truth being the first casualty of war.Excellent point.

That is what I have been saying all along. When Ukraine becomes a failed state like Libya and Syria, then Ukraine is a time bomb for the entire Europe. Those extremists are highly trained. Some even know how to fly aircraft. Sure Stinger missile is easy to use. It is going to be nightmare for the entire Europe.
Zelensky is really an evil man. He tried to start a nuclear war, WW III and drag all NATO powers into the war. And he opens gate to all the volunteer fighters. He is going to bring everyone with him.
