Then you know what you do?
You send tons of military aid to those nations and you establish a real military partnership. Not treaties of protection, but actual military assets.

That’s called playing chess. you move pieces so your opponent doesn’t move theirs.

Poland is in NATO. Putin won’t go there. And why would he?
