> You ABSOLUTELY talk to them. Estonia made statements like that as well. You ABSOLUTELY talk to a neighbour that has 377 your surface area in land and the worlds biggest nuclear arsenal. What's wrong with these people?

I understand what you're saying, but what do you expect countries that want to be left alone to say when the president of that huge country goes on TV and talks about going back to old borders? How do you talk with a country that is influenced by people that say your country, your language, your culture, etc, shouldn't exist?

These countries still have a memory of what it was to be under Russia's rule. They know what happened to them after the Soviets and the Nazis made their deal. For many it's a "if we're going down, then let's go down fighting kind of thing". The bully may win the fight, but they'll go home with a black eye.
