  1. They are three different Baltic countries — Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia. Why are they called states, while no other countries of Europe are called states is beyond me. Why other people of the EU seem to be ready to easily give them over to the nazzistic imperialistic Russia again, is also beyond me. I live in Kaunas, Lithuania. It is in the EU and in NATO for 20 years now.

  2.  @rexiioper6920 , the population did not die out, like Russians do in the war Russia wanted and makes in Ukraine now. The population went to work and to live better in the West.

  3.  @Ignas_  , I would guess the Baltic people who were forced to emigrate from their countries due to dangers of the soviet and nazzi occupants of their countries, and who then migrated to the USA easily agreed on Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia being called states, not countries, by their new fellows in the USA. Some of the Lithuanians who returned to the restored independent country from the USA also call the United States of America valstybės, not valstijos. It is kinda right, but feels kinda wrong at the same time. And yes, that’s not the main problem of our three Baltic countries which had never been as united as the states of the USA.
