Estonia is NATO. They will protect Estonia like it is the freakin’ Arkenstone. Membership has its privileges.

Putin has shown himself to be a terrible active military commander and an even worse strategist. He has long believed his own propaganda that the West and NATO are weak, chase money over anything else (well, he almost got that one right), and lack any real resolve.

However under Putin there are assuredly those (who like living and breathing ) who know otherwise and will hopefully remove the problem off of the game board if Putin tries to initiate nuke launches. I can imagine a hallway shootout between FSB members and Putin’s own Pretorian Guard.
