“Tallinn has intensified its signaling that in the case of an imminent Russian invasion, it would not hesitate to strike first. “

I assume that when the Neocons play war games on Estonia’s side of the border, that Estonia won’t mind Russia attacking them, since war games can easily be perceived to meet their definition of an “imminent invasion”.

Given this and the Baltic States getting ‘cute’ over Kaliningrad, I’m starting to see why the Soviets hung on to them for so long, through the Cold War, when they were willing to let go of most of Finland and all of Austria, both of which were for the taking at the end of WW2.

IF you are CERTAIN war is inevitable, striking first and choosing you greatest advantage, makes sense.

But if you are a mouse, anger the cat at your peril.

Pretty cool eh? Tiny Estonia "mulls preemptive strikes" while even tinier Liechtenstein reports on this teeny-tiny story.

Some will add President Trump's name to this stream, but....

"Exercise Hedgehog 25 is the Estonian Defense Forces’ largest training event this year, focused on planning and executing military operations and enhancing interoperability between Estonian and allied units. Participants include active-duty personnel, conscripts, reservists, Defense League members, and allied soldiers. In total, over 16,000 personnel is expected take part of the exercise.

"Preemptive action?"

The Estonians were good helpers of the Third Reich that’s for sure including the Holocaust.

They are saying this to scare off the Russians. If they did launch a “pre-emptive” attack, they’d be squashed like a bug. The other problem is that people are too cynical now, and don’t believe that “pre-emptive attacks” are responses to real threats.

“tiny Estonia... would not hesitate to strike first.”

How Russia has fallen. Because of Putin’s folly - he is the Doom of Russia.

I am old enough to remember when Russia’s Military used to be an overmatch for Poland’s. Now Estonia is ready to launch on them.
