DISINFO: Baltic countries are quasi-states incapable of sustaining independent sovereign statehood
SUMMARY
As for the future of the Baltic countries, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, it is already in the past. It is unlikely that there will be Latvians or Estonians in these regions in 50 years. They are simply disappearing.
These quasi-states are incapable of an independent sovereign statehood, both politically and economically, unless someone maintains and supports them. They call this independence.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about socio-economic degradation in the Baltic States as opposed to their alleged well-being under the USSR and lost sovereignty/external control.
The Baltic states are sovereign countries, which determine their domestic and foreign policies. They are full-fledged members of the EU and NATO and therefore follow their membership commitments. Their post-Soviet economic development is documented by the OECD, with details available here for Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
Read similar cases alleging that the Baltic states are not capable of being independent and sovereign, that Russophobic Baltic States are beggars and vassals of the West, that the Baltic States forgot the economic advantages of joining the Russian empire, that the main activity of the Latvian state is the trade of Russophobia, that the Baltic states are dying because they chose not to be with Russia, that the Baltic states have no independent foreign policy and are just the mouthpiece of the EU, or that the Baltic states have lost industry, agriculture, and population as a result of EU membership.
