    Estonians absolutely want and welcome the US presence. It’s a difficult balance because there’s also a huge dickhead in charge of the us right now and it’s impossible to ignore israeli atrocities. Kaja Kallas is a former leader of Estonia and is in hot water with israel right now for calling them out.

    Despite what tankies try to say, russian imperialism was and is a horrific experience and is not something they are willing to repeat. Basically every single family in Estonia lost family because russians are barbaric monsters.

      I was surprised to hear this and apparently I missed this story:

      https://www.euractiv.com/news/israel-cuts-all-contact-with-kaja-kallas-over-apartheid-comments/

      incredibly limp wristed, she just said (apparently, article didn’t directly quote) that ‘Israel is acting like apartheid era South Africa towards Palestinians’. Are they giving her political cover as a favor?? It was the mildest possible criticism she could have made

        Israel intentionally makes the biggest response to even the smallest comment about them. They’re only interested in furthering their fascist takeover of the Levant. Absolute shit country.
