It's my belief that Lithuania, Finland and Estonia are fuck around and find out countries. I would not mess with them.

The most significant thing is that Estonia and Lithuania are members of NATO and Finland (probably) will be soon.

Poland should be on that list too.

I mean, the poles are so badass they call being outnumbered 40:1 a “fair fight”

When it comes to Russia Poland is less "fuck around and find out" and more "just give me an excuse fucker." At least these days.

Poland is pretty much “Just give me an excuse, Fucker” to anyone these days.

Given who their neighbours are, don’t blame them

Honestly the one fuck around and find out state I wouldn't want to cross is Poland. They're itching to fuck up Russia

baltic main (and only) strategy in case russia invades is to hide in the forest and go for guerrilla warfare and pray that they last until NATO reinforcements arrive.

If you don't know anything about our own military you could at least not spread bullshit comments based on one incident from 10 years ago. What extremely outdated equipment do we use? G36 and fn scars from 2017 that all personnel are equipped with? The brand new IFVs equipped with 30mms and antitank missiles and oshkosh JLTVs? The pzh2000? Did our HK GMGs and NASAMS age by 50 years over the last few when we bought them? Maybe multiple anti armour weapons per squad like AT4 and the new M72 LAWs aren't enough? Not to mention the javelins we've been buying each year over the last decade. And the defense budget is planned to go up to 2.5% gdp too. Maybe try going to a military expo for once and read the news of what we are buying to get an idea.

Not true. >people were pocketing all the funding up until recently by writing it off as the army buying spoons and forks worth 200€ each.

The company has returned the money and got their spoons back.

Anything else?
