There are significant Russian minorities left in the baltic states from the SU.

Russia will support and radicalize those.

If the Baltics dont react it will lead to unrest and Russia is forced to intervene and "protect" their fellow Russians.

If the states react this will be seen as suppressing the Russian minorities and Russia will be forced to intervene and "protect" their fellow Russians.

Baltic is part of NATO, it means NATO direct military response.

True, Putin would need to wait for Trump to make it clear that he wouldnt come to their defense and/or Orban/Fico have done enough damage to the Organization to make this viable.
