    Some 1,000 concrete bunkers with trenches, anti-tank ditches,
    ammunition depots and supply shelters are part of a joint plan to
    fortify 600 miles of the Baltic states' eastern borders

    I've heard rumours that the baltics + finland are preparing massive belts

    In and of themselves, there is nothing that the baltics can do to protect themselves. If Nato doesn't want to play there, they are smoked.
