Estonia may strike at Russian territory if Putin prepares for war with NATO, - General Staff
Censor.net ^ | 9/18/24 | CN

The Estonian army is preparing for a possible war with Russia in cooperation with NATO. The country may strike at Russian territory if Moscow prepares to attack the Alliance.

Major General Vahur Karus, Chief of the General Staff of the Estonian Defence Forces, said this in an interview with ERR, Censor.NET reports .

"We can no longer wait to be hit over the head with a sledgehammer, but we must be the ones who can do certain things first," Karus said.

According to the general, before Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Estonia expected that its army would be able to hold out on its own for 10 days in the event of a Russian attack until NATO assistance arrived.

However, now there have been "fundamental changes" in the country's military doctrine.

Karus was asked whether, according to the new plan, Estonia is obliged to be able to "destroy the Russians in the event of an invasion of their territory where troops are stationed". The military officer answered in the affirmative.

I’m sure all of the mobilized NATO forces from the Barents to the Black Sea are in a similar state of readiness.

I have a suspicion that the Russian evil empire hysteria currently being fanned in the West is meant to be coordinated with the war time censorship about to be imposed upon us.

The Military Summary Channel was speculating today that the missiles that took out the Russian missile depot last night were launched from the Baltics.

I sounds like little Estonia wants to attack Russia all on its own and try to pull NATO into war.

And locking your house at night is incitement for burglars to break in.

Yep. This statement says it all.

“We can no longer wait to be hit over the head with a sledgehammer, but we must be the ones who can do certain things first,” Karus said.

That is absolutely crazy! This moron says Estonia can no longer wait for the sledgehammer. Does he say his course of action will avoid the sledgehammer? Absolutely NOT! He accepts the fact that Estonia will be hit over the head (destroyed) by the Russian sledgehammer. He’s just tired of waiting for it so he’s going to force the Russians to spend a day destroying Estonia.

In 2020, all of the Baltic states had war preparation exercises in which NATO stood by as an observer. These were timed to match the Russian full scale military exercises going on concurrently.

Estonia has a plan to last 10 days, hoping for NATO involvement. Their plan has always been to blow bridges, some of which are located in Russia proper, to slow down the Russians. They know and the Russians know, what the plan is. It is basically an old west quick draw contest to see who moves first.

While Europe and the Anglozone get set to resume their centuries long suicidal civil war, the Chinese communists wait patiently to inherit the ruins.

Massing all of that offensive firepower on the Russian border while continuing to scream “NATO MUST defeat Russia, overthrow the regime, kill Putin, kill Russians, etc., etc., etc.” is locking your house?!?

So, if your neighbor locked his house by having scores off thugs, all heavily armed, come to his house and point their weapons out of his house at YOU, while your neighbor was screaming in your front yard, “kill him, burn his house, shoot his family, etc. you’d go to bed safe and sound?

Peddle your admin BS to someone else.

Nobody invaded their house fool. Thinking someone is preparing is not a reason to strike. Particularly when you drag others in to die for outright stupidity on you part.

We all know that you don’t think, so it is no surprise you would make a ignorant comment like that.

You miss one very important fact of war. The Russians will sit IN Russia and wait for NATO to attack.

It’s not the Russians saying NATO must be defeated, their leaders killed or overthrown, their countries split apart. It’s NATO, the aggressor, just like Napoleon, just like Hitler.

The Russians will take out the Estonian Patriots the first hour. Then Estonia would be TOTALLY destroyed by tens of thousands of drones and missiles. Then the Russians will sit in their fortifications and for another NATO “counteroffensive” debacle.

That’s the way the Russians fight. It should be readily apparent to anyone paying attention.

Only a blithering idiot would still believe that Russia wants to take over any NATO territory.

All these war lovers are under the false impression that NATO can win a war. I wouldn't be so confident in their victory. They don't have the weapons or training to fight a major war right now. Not one NATO country stepped up weapons production to fight a major war. It would take close to two years for that to happen. Good luck fighting for two years while waiting for your production to catch up. I won't be surprised if the neoclowns start this war before the election. They are dying to get thousands of Americans killed for their own profits.

Estonia has 22% ethnic Russian population left over from the Soviet days. Most of them are not Estonia citizens.

Many have Moscow sympathies.

I guess they better think cattle cars and internment camps before they turn their back to them.

If a NATO country starts shooting at Russia the deal is off.

“”””Not one NATO country stepped up weapons production to fight a major war.””””

You really need to pay more attention to the increases in weapon production that have taken place since Russia invaded Ukraine, there is a lot of it, among the European countries and in the United States, along with massively increased military budgets.

Estonia = The Mouse That Roared.

A Russian fart would wipe out all of the Baltics in one fell swoop. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are insignificant specs to Vlad. It’s like Iceland threatening the USA. Comical.

It’s obvious that these puny Baltic states are purposely trying to provoke Russia as a pretext for NATO to get involved. The Puppet Biden regime and his homosexual Eurotrash masters are playing a dangerous game and will not like the outcome.
