DISINFO: The US does not care about the Baltic states and wants Russia to buy them
SUMMARY
Soon either Donald Trump or his successors will sell the Baltic countries to Russia. The US president, and his supporters, have repeatedly demonstrated that they are not interested in the Baltic states and consider them unimportant. Hence, there is no point for the US not to sell the Baltic states to Russia. The problem is, however, that Russia does not need these countries either. Otherwise it would not end strategic economic cooperation with them. The only thing about the Baltic states that Russia cares about is their NATO membership and the presence of offensive NATO infrastructure on their territory. It seems that the US invests in the development of infrastructure there only with the aim of raising the price of the Baltic states for further bargaining with Russia.
RESPONSE
This is a conspiracy consistent with recurring pro-Kremlin narratives about lost sovereignty, external control and socio-economic degradation of the Baltic states. Although pro-Kremlin outlets often claim that Baltic states have lost their sovereignty to the EU, this message alleges that their fate depends on the US's (and Russia's) whims. Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia are sovereign countries, which determine their own domestic and foreign policies. See earlier disinformation cases alleging that the Baltic states pursue anti-Belarusian policies as instructed by external actors, that Lithuania is a "typical dying young democracy", and that the Baltic states are dying because they chose not to be with Russia.
