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.

I wonder if President Enrique Peña Nieto of Mexico feels that Mexican nationals are threated in California? Would Obama help defend California’s sovereignty if Mexico took over? Would many of the undocumented Mexicans rally behind Nieto or would they be heading for another State border to cross into the remaining United States?

Nobody has spent anything on defense in that part of Europe and now it is biting them in the butt.

Europe in general makes a token contribution to NATO while reaping the benefits of essentially cost free protection courtesy of the American taxpayer.

Its called socialism.
