It would end forever the 'red threat' from Russia.
I'll tell you one clever thing, but please, don't get offended...
If Russian Army will finally throw away NATO bases and put nazi sprat-killers to where the need to be - noone in "civilized world" will do anything about it. They'll keep screaming about "human rights" and other stuff, but they'll never dare to use force against Russia. You still don't attack DPRK only because they "probably" have several nukes. You are still so whoopee scared! And Europe will scream at the ultrasound about "human rights", but will still buy our oil and natural gas. Just as they did in Soviet times.

And yah, contrary to your assumption I know more about eastern european history than you'd ever guess... a mighty fine teaching tool when I need to make a point about the advantages of an armed population when facing an invader. Care to have a lesson on Finland in the Winter War?
Armed population in so-called "Baltic states" is good only in hunting for Jews and burning helpless villages. Now they jail people who tried to prevent them from this favourite amusement.
IMHO an SS "veteran" march in Riga, supported by their government is a reason enough to come show them their place.
