So these governments have already banned media that doesn’t say what they want, just like Russia does. Now they are going to replace the banned media outlets with propaganda broadcasts. Is that an example of freedom and democracy in action?

EU = Forced government subsidies of corrupt Green Energy programs.

EU = Increasing billions in government debt.

EU = Increasing taxes to pay for it all.

EU = Increasing real consumer prices, decreasing real wages.

EU = EU Acquis, forcing national laws into conformance with EU laws over time.

EU = National assimilation.

Estonians have also debated blocking Russian channels in past, particularly after the notorious "Bronze Soldier" riots in the capital Tallinn in 2007.

My Estonian friend calls the 'Bronze Soldier' statue the 'Memorial to the Unknown Rapist'. The statue is a symbol of the crimes committed by Soviet troops during and after WW2 and it became a symbol of oppression after the USSR fell.

That the Russians don't like that their memorial was moved means nothing to me. Estonia is no longer under their control and they can shove their opinions up their collective...

Inscription: “For the return of Crimea 20.02.14 - 03.18.14.” Yet how could the dates of Crimea’s “liberation” have begun on February 20th?

An image of the medal was quickly removed from the Russian defense ministry’s website after the ceremony on March 25, but the damage was done. How could Crimea have been “liberated” in an operation beginning on February 20, the day on which a bloody assault against the Maidan protesters began in Kiev, killing nearly 100 people? Even more perplexing is that Viktor Yanukovych was still officially the president of Ukraine and Crimea on February 20. So how could this operation have begun on that day, while he was still president—or more importantly, why?
