Today Russia signaled concerns of the large Russian minority in Estonia.
Reuters reported:
Russia signaled concern on Wednesday at Estonia’s treatment of its large ethnic Russian minority, comparing language policy in the Baltic state with what it said was a call in Ukraine to prevent the use of Russian.
Russia has defended its annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea peninsula by arguing it has the right to protect Russian-speakers outside its borders, so the reference to linguistic tensions in another former Soviet republic comes at a highly sensitive moment.
Russia fully supported the protection of the rights of linguistic minorities, a Moscow diplomat told the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, according to a summary of the session issued by the U.N.’s information department.
“Language should not be used to segregate and isolate groups,” the diplomat was reported as saying. Russia was “concerned by steps taken in this regard in Estonia as well as in Ukraine,” the Moscow envoy was said to have added.
Ted Cruz warned about this earlier today.
Today his sights are set on Ukraine, but if he continues undeterred tomorrow it could be Estonia, Latvia, Moldova, Romania, the Czech Republic, or Poland. Meeting his challenge now with strength, not appeasement, would be the best way to ensure that this does not happen, and that we do not squander our hard-won Cold War victory over the Soviets.

We are $17 Trillion in debt and another $150 Trillion in unfunded liabilities. Children are being born with $400,000 in future debt. We are not the world’s cop anymore.
Not only does he eye it, he openly expressed his desire for it WHILE THE VICE PRESIDENT IS IN LITHUANIA!
They’re all going to get sued for plagiarism. Hitler’s heirs will sue Putin over statements about protecting the [Russian,German] minorities in {Ukraine, Estonia, the Sudetenland...]. Neville Chamberlain’s heirs will sue Obama and Paul. And Tom Clancy’s estate might claim that the whole thing was a ripoff from his last book.
Liberals see the world the way they would like it to be, while conservatives see it for how it is.
This is the core difference between the two philosophies that affects everything they believe and do.
Surprise surprise! Who could ever saw this coming.
Where there are Russians there is Russia. - Uncle V.
Ukraine will flip sides, after getting as much info from NATO as possible - handy for Russia to take Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania. In the blink of an eye, Russia and Ukraine will “take” Bulgaria, and Romania will follow, then Serbia (”finally”).
Only Germany arming and going full active, can stop the trend.
All the suits, who wish this would all just go away, will continue to resist leaving their comfort zones.
Russia could parachute into Belgium and annex Belgium within the week; just “simply” bypass Germany. The EU is everything that the socialist agitprop from Russia dreamed that it could produce. Just like that, Russia sits on the Atlantic Ocean - no problemo.
So Obama walks into Google HQ and says, “Who will fight the Russians?!” Anyone? Anyone?
But TED, WHAT ABOUT THE BASKET BALL BRACKETS!?
Damn it, man, what if Michigan doesn’t come through for President Empty Suit!?
What then, TED!?
Priorities PLEASE!
Please add me to your ping list.
Thanks!
Hey, you forget about the president of Uganda and his attitude about Pride Parades and such. Oh, and Climate Change.
The price will be much higher down the road.
I just can’t keep it all in focus.
Gay Change, Climate Pride, Social Justice, Environmental Justice, fat kids...
If there is one thing America does, it is focusing on what is important in reality!
BOY HOWDY, WE ARE F***IN’ F***ED!
Why not. We have the biggest coward in the White House. Now is the time for Putin to take anything he wants.
And how!
Oh, and Banning Income and Bossy Inequality.
Sudatenland?
Sudetenland?
Save it. Everyone knows you’ve creamed your panties thinking of your boy Vlad taking over Eastern Europe. You’re probably the biggest Putin crotch sniffer on here and that’s saying something.
