He and I were very close, and have reconnected over the last few years. He lives in Estonia, because his wife is from there.

Chatting today, I just got this from him. I found it interesting. I was complaining about my new job that I can't stand.

It could be worse. You could be living here with Russia as your next door neighbor. Constant military drills with jets flying overhead and giant convoys of military trucks blocking your way to get to work. Refugees filling up all the schools so we have to have our kid in a village school and hour away from where we live. Just saying. GPS gets jambed from Russian interference. We are concerned of where we will go if invaded. Bomb shelters are a big ticket item here right now. Don't get me wrong. I am not afraid for myself. But, I am responsible for wife and kids and now grandkids here. I absolutely do not trust Russia nor does anyone here trust Russia. We are donating a hoverboard and other items to a team of people turning items into drones and other supplies needed by Ukraine. We hear so many very messed up stories. I can't complain about my situation too much. At least I have any family fighting on the front lines. Sorry, I didn't mean to turn so heavy. It's just in my face right now. I would love to go back to USA but somewhere not ghetto. Maybe somewhere away from any big city in the country.

Tell your friend not to worry.
He’s probably being badly misled about the Russia -Ukraine war too.

Zelensky is the one he’s got to be concerned about.

Maybe, but Zelensky is not camped out on his border. Putin is.
 
Estonia has been part of NATO since they joined in 2004.

The former Soviet republic would clearly understand the costs and benefits of that decision, and how border shenanigans are highly likely especially with NATO providing Ukraine with all its funding to fight and kill Russians.

That doesn't mean the Russians are nice guys at all, but it highly unlikely they attack a NATO member while already engaged with the US puppet Ukraine.

How much of the Russian navy is centered near St Peterburgh?

Emperor Zelensky cannot be criticized. Be careful. You criticize the lifetime King of Ukraine, you get arrested.

Also, I have no doubt but that Estonia would beat Russia in a war. None.

Oh but he can. The point being made is that he isn’t the problem.

Yes, it's the neo-cons that caused the coup in Ukraine, ceded Crimea, then further provoked the Russians, will soon cede Donbass/Donetsk and are funded by international men of mystery.

Is there an open source audit of funding to Ukraine?
 

So?
That doesn’t justify Russias invasion of Ukraine.
lol…he canceled 11 political parties tied to Russia. Who needs 11 political parties anyway?
He limited political speech by implementing more government control…in other words, he took a page out of Russias book.
He canceled broadcast stations sympathetic to Russia.
Trump indirectly shut down PBS by cutting funding. Thank You President Trump.

Ukrainians are being killed by Putin not Zelenskyy
 

Aaaaand there it is. Zelensky arrest political opponents, cancels elections and Hillary says, "What difference at this point does it make anyway?"

That doesn’t justify Russias invasion of Ukraine.

It bears directly on our spending hundreds of billions of dollars on supporting Zelensky, doesn't it?

Sure. Russian hoax x 11. Democracy is great ... until it isn't.

And that is just fine now.

Okey-dokey.

He canceled broadcast stations sympathetic to Russia.

Free speech!

Or not.

Trump arrests PBS personnel, actually shuts it down - fine by you.

You need to wake up.

The two are certainly closer in kill numbers of Ukrainians than you are willing to admit. You are blinded right now. Zelensky refuses to engage in peace talks, cancels election, arrests political opponents, seizes control of media and you support all that.

I don't support Putin. I just think we should spend our money here, on Americans. You actively support Putin-lite.

Got it?
 
I have made a friend in Lithuania , near there. He is same age as me late 50's. Absolutely hates and distrusts russia.

He bristles when i mention anything negative about zelensky. So i quit talking about it.
