One loophole to get a Baltic passport and also have an American passport, is if you have US citizenship by birthright. To get a Baltic passport, you need to renounce your US citizenship (this is done at the US embassy) and then show that proof to the Baltic country where you'd like to get citizenship. Then you'll get their passport. Then, walk back to the US embassy, and show your proof you were born in the US and apply for US citizenship again based on birthright.
That is completely incorrect. If you renounce your U.S. citizenship and want to regain U.S. citizenship, you must go through the time and expense of the entire green card process just like any other immigrant. Being born in the U.S. means nothing after you renounce your U.S. citizenship.
