Nah, the main reason is that their political systems have been captured by US, while propaganda groups like the NED have poured billions into trying to shape public opinion. Yet, despite all that we're now starting to see a huge backlash against all that from the public. The massive farmer protests are just the start of that.

Oh wow, it's the tankie version of US exceptionalism where the US controls everything and is all powerful.

The US had like zero influence in the baltics when they joined, same for Georgia when they wanted to join.

Not sure how farmer protests are involved but I hope you know that the vast majority of farmers in those protests are just people who own the farm. They don't actually work those farms and the protests so far have been against climate regulations that cut into their profit margin.

Image believing that US had zero influence in the Baltics despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Imagine not knowing the history of the baltics

Nope, not true, but provide no facts

This is publicly available information. Spend a bit of time learning how google works instead of trolling here.

Your talking about the bits which don't support your 'facts'. Unless your looking at what's publicly available in Russia. Troll off, troll
