Russians could invade and while it is most likely that after a long war they'd be pushed back, they'd still leave ruins.
Also, we don't have unified army. So as painful as it is, it is most likely Baltic states would have to fend of with their military (and due to population, well, they can't - even if they are bringing conscription back), maybe Poland and Finland. Maybe.
And then you'd have to coordinate what to do next between all national militaries.
And what would stop a Frenchman or Portuguese to say Why die for Vilnius?
Estonia has had conscription for our whole independence from russia, and we don't intend to go back to russia.
Lithuania also has conscription and Latvia started it again last year.
Estonia also has the Defence League, a voluntary organisation which offers trainings and will support our defence forces.
