That must be sarcasm....
...it's worth noting that Putin invades Ukraine when Biden, not Trump, is in office.

If he plays totally crazy horse and goes all in (which I doubt, but we cannot be certain of anything anymore, he has executed all comfortable certainties we based on in the past 30 years), and strikes in the Baltic region, too, I do not see that NATO, with or without the US, could defend or later retake the three small Baltic states without the use of nukes. Which the US would not use for three small Baltic states, no doubt.

Wouldn't be so sure. If Russia attacks any NATO Member, it's war. Where the nukes come into play? Well, I'm sure they are in the plan somewhere, otherwise they wouldn't exist.
