Yes. World peace is more important than a couple thousand men.

When we had a 10 year long guerilla war to try and kick out the Soviet Union after WW2 and the Anti comminist west looked the other way.

Those are words. Let's see what happens when boots are on the ground. This won't be the first time the West abandons us.

The problem with our people is the growing skepticism. That the promise of NATO response is only a verbal deterrence, and Russia might think the same way. I guess we'll find out once shit happens.

Why Europe? If they plan to restore the Soviet Union, out of all the NATO states, the Baltics is all they need. <Fedor23>

Yeah, that's true, this interview was not as edgy as I remembered it. But it made the domestic politicians extremely cautious and everyone was like "shit what if she's right, and we're about to be fucked over?" And then we started moving towards military self reliance. For me as a NATO...

@lsa From the same interview as above. https://www.ft.com/content/a430b191-39c8-4b03-b3fd-8e7e948a5284 "She added that she had spoken to foreign troops based in Estonia — largely those from the UK — and they had told her that, given the current plans mean they would be all but wiped out by a...

Alright, I was being a bit dramatic. https://www.ft.com/content/a430b191-39c8-4b03-b3fd-8e7e948a5284 "Estonia would be wiped off the map and the historic centre of its capital city razed to the ground under current Nato plans to defend the country from any Russian attack, according to its...

I'm trusting the Estonian politicians with my life at this point.

She said that she had a conversation with the british troops stationed in Estonia in which they revealed that they don't really want to be here and feel that they are sent to the potential frontline to be sacrificial lambs. The morale is through the roof. I'll try to find the interview, I think...

Yeah, pretty much. People overestimate our importance to the big picture.

tl;dr People are cheering for Ukraine, because they are fighting for the survival of our nation. There is a rise of xenophobia from all sides (Russians, Ukrainians, Latvians). The 25% inflation is insane. Price of bread has doubled, heating and electricity bills have tripled/quadrupled. In...

It's offical, government just voted yes and issued a state of emergency on the Russian border until december 26th. So even stricter background checks on the incoming Russian citizens, and increased presence and alert level of Army, police and security services. And a 50% pay raise to those who...

Same for me. Election is this saturday. <GinJuice>

Even the news reporter says that they run because they don't want to do the fighting, not because they oppose the war in general. That's fucking sad and unsettling. If Russia was winning, there wouldn't be any noise at all.

Village idiot Medvedev went off again. tl;dr If/when Russia feels threatened and decides to use a nuke in Ukraine, US/NATO won't do shit. They'll just watch. Security of London, Brussels, Berlin, Washington are more important to them than Ukraine, which is a dying, irrelevant nation. They...

Nah. I'll be trying to finish my Bachelor's degree somewhere in my 60's tho.

How this helps the world to get rid of Putin's tyranny, I don't know. They're enabling it again.
