@samuelkvideos Not really. Culturally they're in a totally different language family more akin to the Finns or the Sami minority in the nordic countries. Heck, they arguably even have more in common with Hungary then they do with Lithuania and Latvia. English, German and Russian are languages that's closer together then Estonian and Latvian or Lithuanian...

It's going to happen, it's just a question of when and how it'll be financed. Eventually the EU will get on board if no one else does.

One issue with the idea about a port in Kirkenes is that Norway do not want a railway there for strategic reasons. We simply don't want railway access to the area that could be used by the Russians in case of war prefering to keep the area devoid of significant land based infrastructure to hinder Russian supplies and transportation of military assets. We might be open to a railway to a port a bit further west though
