We don't have any Baltic states here in America.
But we do have Baltimore which I've never been to, and Balch Springs, Texas, which I have been to.

Without looking them up, I don't even know the names of those Baltic states.
Probably places I've never heard of or would want to go to anyway.

I've been to all of them. Heck, they are a days drive in size. I did spend quite a bit of time in Talinn. Beautiful town.

There is a town called Baltic, about 11 miles from Sioux Falls, SD. Not far from where I was born and raised.

My wife’s family is from Lithuania. They’ve all been back to visit multiple times. They speak highly of Vilnius and the Old Town district. Catholic Churches on almost every corner.
I was told many homes in rural areas are without indoor plumbing for sanitation.

The next visit to one of those Baltic States could be from a Hypersonic Russian washing machine we hear about, because there is a good chance those drones that attacked Putins residence came from one of those Nato Baltic Pygmies, they are much closer than Ukraine which is about 700 miles from Putins residence.

Could be.
The Lithuanians I know almost universally hate Russia and Putin to the point of irrationality. They somehow think their tiny country can provoke and antagonize Russia without consequences. I’ve suggested they seek peaceful interaction with Russia. They’re response is I’m a Putin lover.
They’ve lost their minds.

Although my ancestry is partly Baltic and Finnish, I've not been there. Maybe I should put it on my bucket list.

I’ve got zero interest.
They aren’t in Texas.
They’ve contributed zilch historically other than excelling at being irritants to their neighbors.
