520			_aTwenty years after the collapse of the USSR, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are the only former Soviet republics that have joined the European Union and NATO (in 2004). The Iraqi crisis in 2003 gave the impression that they would fervently support the United States and, therefore, be less inclined toward European integration in matters of national security and defense. Accordingly, these three countries, given the weakness of their armed forces, would count on coverage under Article V of the North Atlantic Treaty and would reject EU policies that might undermine trans-Atlantic relations. However, this view of the place of NATO and the EU in their defense matters did not take into account changes in national security along the postmodern dimensions of, for instance, energy and cybersecurity. These three countries are trying to position themselves within NATO on these new issues, while becoming involved in EU cooperation.
