Being traumatized is taken as an acceptable explanation for wars and warmongering. Everybody was at one time or other traumatized. If the Baltics were traumatized by Russia, Russia was also traumatized by much greater traumas of Napoleon and Hitler and all their European allies. This kind of argument just lead to more wars. And if a real war happens, all of these "courageous" & "traumatized" people on the Internet will run away or sue for peace. Nobody wants to die. But they do not mind others dying. That's the fundamental hypocrisy of war-mongerers.
