Estonia considers itself a front-line state, a Nato member where its border guards stare across the Narva River at the Russian fortress of Ivangorod.
This tiny Baltic state, once a part of the Soviet Union, is convinced that once the fighting stops in Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin will turn his attention to the Baltics, looking to bring countries like Estonia back under Moscow’s control.
To help stave off that possibility, Estonia’s government has poured money and weapons into Ukraine’s war effort, donating more than 1% of its GDP to Kyiv.
"If every Nato country did this," says Estonia’s steely Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, "Ukraine would win."
But Ukraine isn’t winning.
Short of artillery, ammunition, air defences and most of all, troops, Ukraine is struggling to hold back the sheer weight of Russian firepower, glide bombs and massed infantry assaults that often border on the suicidal.

Have you been in a coma? They don't need no stinkin' charges!
Well maybe you Estonians should not have poked sticks at the bear, and should have been thankful that you were members of NATO and just left it at that. But no, you want western nuclewar war with Russia provoked by your legally incompetent imbecile Biden in the White Hut sur running DC sewer.
Oh yeah. Jimmy Carter was great. And what a beautiful human being McStain was. We could have had a Keaton 5 administration
And neither is any other American President.
Small states are wise to be friendly with large powerful neighbors (I'm talking to you, Mexico).
The GAE's plan appears to be using small weak countries to provoke wars with large powerful countries.
So far, the large powerful countries aren't rising to the bait.
Then maybe cancel the annual Estonian SS parade this year. It could help lol.
Yeah, and we better make besties with China and maybe even Iran, too. They deserve a fair chance. We need to mind our own business!
*We have no plan B if Trump fails.*
*Rubbish. We have plenty of good MAGA Republicans from MTG to DeSantis willing to step in if Trump should die or be jailed.*
If we can win this one we have no business being in business.
It’s CAN’T-my bad.
Designed on purpose to create chaos. For chaos creates opportunities that are not available to stable societies.
The threat from Russia is the result of threatening Russia. It's a progression that any idiot should be able to foretell what the future will be as a result.
Is defeating Russia, the true goal of the EU or even the US, or is it something far more sinister?
You had better ponder tis carefully, because freedom existing in the world at all, depends on people coming to the correct conclusion.
Why MUST Ukraine win? What are they hiding?
The people I hear cheering on Ukraine are the same ones cheerleading for the alphabet people crap going on here. I believe some of the stories about the goings on over there are true. The same people who cried “Russia, Russia, Russia” are still at it. They lied then, so why are they not lying now?
Otherwise, might is right.
We do not need to go back to "good 'Ole days".
Some of the things you've described here probably shouldn't have been federal crimes in the first place. And there's no "law and order" in this country when you have selective prosecution for political purposes, anyway.
Why?? What do you have against the military?
I have nothing against the military. But anyone who joined the military since 1992 has demonstrated -- above all else -- that they're conditioned: (A) to do what they're told, and (B) to do what they're told by a government that is the biggest threat to the liberty of its citizens today.
It's the same reason why I think those silly "Back the Blue" flags and signs are pathetic examples of virtue-signaling.
Some of the things you've described here probably shouldn't have been federal crimes in the first place.
Which ones?
And there's no "law and order" in this country when you have selective prosecution for political purposes, anyway.
You realize that all the defendants I named are Democrats, right?
The US GDP is $25T. $250B more to UKR? This is insanity.
Zelenskyy needs to hitch up his leather dancing pants and start looking at a peace settlement for all I care. We just don’t have that kind of money to keep pi$$ing away.
What comment of projection that is.
We've become the world's bully, fomenting color revolutions and forcing the perverse values of the WEF and George Soros on the rest of the world.
We fomented the illegal coup in Ukraine and empowered neo-Nazis to persecute and kill the ethnic Russian population in Dontesk and Lugansk.
Now, we're trying to bully Georgia into giving up its foreign agent law, which is designed to expose Soros and other Western elite's meddling in the country at the expense of what is best for the people.
Your narrative is lie.
Take the example of a modern container ship that was manufactured in South Korea, owned by a Danish company, flying a Panamanian flag, transporting cargo between Singapore and Rotterdam, and operated by a crew of mostly Indians and Filipinos.
There is absolutely nothing about this vessel, its crew, or this sailing that constitutes a national interest of the United States of America ... especially when you consider that every company involved in the production and operation of this ship has taken specific steps to avoid doing business under U.S. tax laws and business regulations.
And yet here you are, claiming that the U.S. taxpayer has an obligation to pay for naval assets to protect this ship under some kind of idiotic "freedom to trade."
