As does Poland! Nobody wants to disappear, 18th or 21st century.

One thing at a time, Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia will be cut off by a land bridge though Poland and Lithuania, and that will be almost as good as NATO sacrificing them in a conflict with Russia.

Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia are all NATO members.

One reason NATO prefers to sacrifice Ukrainians is that they are not NATO members.

NATO's strategy has been evident for quite some time. NATO means to attrit Russian forces to the point where they do not have the manpower or resources to threaten Poland or the Baltic states. They want to see Russia grinding out in Ukraine because very Russian casualty in Ukraine is a Russian soldier not available for deployment anywhere else. Ukraine doesn't even have to "win" the war for NATO's strategy to succeed. All that is required is that Russia's military get depleted.
