See an article at The Cipher Brief concerning increased defense spending and activity in the Baltic republics: Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Key quote:
By 2018, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are all set to spend at least 2 percent of GDP on defense – the NATO defense spending goal agreed to by all members as requisite for equal and sufficient contribution to the transatlantic security alliance.Poland, always at risk in the precarious "neighborhood" between Russia and Germany, has also stepped up its defense spending.
