People nuture historical gripes and ethnic beefs when they want to, and forget them when they want to.
Poles and people in the Batlics are encouraged to lovingly keep alive the memory of historical wrongs committed by Russia, some of them hundreds of years old. At the same time, the people of Iraq or Vietnam, who suffered millions of casualties as the result of wars of aggression and well within living memory, are told to forgive and forget.
For the Baltics and Poland, obviously keeping that memory of hatred gives them financial benefit (at least to some of the people there). But for Vietnam, at the moment it is a win-win. For Iraq, not so much, but at least there are not that many American boots on the ground. For Phillippine, not so much, as USA is pushing Phillippine into war.
I don;t think the benefit is so much financial for Poland and the Baltics, so much as it is an opportunity to show their American Master how useful they can be.
