This is the news story all Americans are talking about…
The proper response would be for the Baltic countries to erect memorials honoring the victims of fascist invasion and subjugation, at the hands of both Hitler AND Stalin, Hitler’s ally.
Like MS-13 "liberating" turf previously held by the Crips.
Seems the EU has been corrupted by the US current juvenile ways. Erase history. The Ukies have bought into the Western ways, gay marriage, rainbow flags, trans XYZ’s but have a problem- their statues and street names to the infamous Ukie Nazi- Bandera, a national hero.
Wanna bet they don’t tear down all the Bandera monuments? …..Vlad promised to “ de- Nazify” the Ukies, let’s hope he can do just that.
bttt
The Russians obviously are trying to bully Estonia. That is wrong and should be resisted. But I don’t think it was a good idea for Estonia to destroy a monument to World War II war dead. That was for Estonians who died in World War II too. And the Russians who were honored by the memorial had nothing to do with the war with Ukraine. While Russia is wrong to issue these charges, Estonia was wrong in pulling down the World War II monument.
First Putin invaded Ukraine and I said nothing because I’m not Ukrainian.
Then Putin invaded Latvia and I said nothing because I’m not Latvian.
Then Putin invaded Alaska and I said nothing because I’m not Alaskan.
Then Putin invaded my state of Kansas, and what could the little state of Kansas do?
If you don’t take all your stuff when you break up with your girl eventually she’s throwing it out.
Estonia should start working on the EU army if they want to fight a war with Russia. NATO needs to be dissolved and replaced with one.
This is the government so many on freerepublic are wanting to hand over to the Russians.
"Russia's borders do not end anywhere."
LOL, Eastern Europe is understadably tearing down Soviet/Russian statues while Russia is putting up more statues of Stalin.
Russian memorials to victims of Stalin vanish
Memorials to victims of Stalinist repression in Russia are disappearing or being vandalised amid increasing attempts to rehabilitate the Soviet dictator.
Alexandra Polivanova of civil rights group Memorial believes the damage was ordered or carried out by authorities because Moscow wants the Soviet Union to be perceived as a powerhouse rather than an oppressive state.
"The authorities try to erase the memory of the crimes of that empire to cover up or justify the crimes of this one."
An investigative channel on social media site Telegram called "We can explain" says there are 110 Stalin statues in Russia - 95 erected during President Vladimir Putin's rule and at least four during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

There is no difference between today’s Russia and the USSR. They are the same entity.
I laugh at all the pro-Putin FReepers (aka Peepers) who are quick to claim that Putin now hates communism. Yet, ironically, Russia has a law criminalizing the “desecration of historical memory (i.e., of the Soviet Union and communism),” even by a non-Russian in another country! Sounds like Russia under Putin is no different from islam: Once it appears anywhere, even outside Russia, that country is Russian, regardless what the locals want or believe.
The Russian people deserve better than what Putin and his cronies are dealing them.
