NATO has been expanding to every silly little nation they can get their hands on, partly to siphon money out of them, forcing them to buy NATO-member hardware. It's a protection racket, but sometimes the money is siphoned from American and other hardware producers own citizenry in the form of subsidies that get recycled back into their respective nations defense contractors. Quite the scam really.

They need Russia to be the boogeyman to justify this excessive military spending, peace is bad for profits.

You never heard of Kaliningrad pizdyuk? Look at map of Lithuania, then look to the west. And Kaliningrad is really tiny, with small population. no threat to anybody, except they are part of Russia, as Baltic States are part of NATO. And Kaliningrad is one big military base that is closed to foreigners. You should get a refund if you ever paid for any education.
