I don't think you understand the motivation of the Baltics.
Their entire foreign policy can basically be summed up as "Fuck the Russians". Not "Fuck Russia", "the Russians". They hate the country, but because they hate the people in it. If there was a Team Yankee war, the Estonians and Finns would encircle St Petersberg and put on a reenactment of Nanking.
The Soviets have replaced a large part of their population (physically removed, so to speak) with Russian colonists after taking over in the guise of "just some bases" for "mutual assisstance".
They were part of the Russian Empire though. And this all is no excuse to try to drag the rest of Europe into a war. The only reason they are this belligerent is because they think NATO will back them up.
NATO is supposed to be defensive (lol @ Serbia & Libya), not to enable chihuahuas to try to provoke conflict.

And NATO will.

A defensive alliance means that a member of that alliance can insult and talk shit about the bully, knowing that the bully would normally attack them but for the alliance. This weakens the bully and exposes the bully as cowardly and weak, which benefits the alliance.
It's perfectly ok to disrespect Russia. If you want to characterize that as "provoking conflict", just understand that 100% of the responsibility for said conflict is on the aggressor - Russia - not on any country or person who offended the Russians.
People talk shit about the United States ALL THE TIME. If we have to sit here and take it, so does Russia.
Russians dominating and bullying them for generations has that effect on people. The USSR was a Russian Empire that dominated all outlying ethnic groups for the benefit of Russians.
We have a billion Stormy types here, and yet the only one who keeps attacking people based on ethnicity is you. That is amazing.
But if you want to get under my skin, at least manage to correctly figure out what country I'm from.
Also, with regard to 'kill each other', I'll love you regardless of how much of a fool you make of yourself, but I will remind you of your ethnicity and your current country of residence. What a history. I'd take Lebanon over that.

They became extremely suspicious of anything said in Russian ever since.

So was Poland. Very impressive argument tailored to me.

And the guise of Russian fighting age men fleeing the draft all showing up trying to get in is probably concerning to them

For once, we agree.
True. Geopolitics means nothing. It's all just women trying to get more men killed.
We don't need to nuke Lebanon, only let you all kill each other.

You just agreed to exterminate a nation my main man.
