Well, it was a series of mistakes that led to this point. Even when Russia massed its troops along the UKR border Europe did not think invasion was possible. It was only after the Biden administration pulled them up and told them it is coming they even woke up to the reality. If this was the case in Ukraine, the odds of overestimating their deterrence is indeed huge.
To be honest, Lithunia should have moved its capital long time ago. Now it can't be done and here where we are. The introduction of a peace keeping force in Ukraine changes the Russian response calculus and as a result Vilinus will become a high potential target.
There are no long-range air defenses in the entire Baltics. NATO never made a move to properly protect its eastern flank. The time has come to change that.
One main reason NATO did not move to protect baltics was Russian pressure. Dont provoke Putin was a policy. As John McCain once said, by not provoking Putin, they have provoked him.
