A poor news for three Baltic dwarfs.It looks like they're gonna be to kick out from NATO. Alternative: WWIII
The exclusion of the Baltic states from NATO may become one of the possible scenarios after the U.S.-Russian talks on strategic stability guarantees in Europe. This forecast was made in an article for The National Interest by renowned American security expert and former U.S. Army officer David Pine.
He remembers that Russian authorities have previously proposed a draft treaty on security guarantees demanding to halt NATO's eastward expansion and not to include the former Soviet republics into the alliance.
Pine considers these conditions to be quite justified. He is confident that their partial implementation would prevent a new world war. And for the sake of this goal, each side can make serious concessions to the other.
The United States should use Putin’s proposal as the basis to negotiate a much more lasting and comprehensive peace agreement with Moscow. As I recently argued in the National Interest, the United States should remember how the 1945 Yalta Agreement’s creation of spheres of influence helped keep great power peace for over half a century. It is notable that my argument “aroused considerable interest in Russia,” according to an article published by the Russtrat Institute of International Political and Economic Strategies. In fact, some of the provisions in Russia’s draft agreement are very similar to the ones I have previously proposed. These similarities include withdrawing U.S. forces from Eastern Europe, creating a “buffer zone” outside of either the U.S. or Russian spheres of influence, and recognizing a Russian sphere of influence in the former Soviet Union to satisfy Moscow’s vital interests. This arrangement would better safeguard the U.S. interest in securing a much more stable and enduring great-power peace.

Negotiate Peace With Russia to Prevent War Over Ukraine
To seize the opportunity to avert a third world war with Russia and China, Biden should negotiate a comprehensive security agreement with Russia by building upon what Putin has outlined, while also taking decisive action to shore up America’s defenses against existential attack by U.S. adversaries.
