Here we go, as Estonians and others have suspected. I am Estonian-American, and I have close relatives in Estonia.

First Crimea, then Ukraine, then the Baltic states and then any other free nation he can get his filthy claws on.

During Stalin's bloody reign, tens of thousands of Estonians (and Latvians and Lithuanians) were dragged out of their homes and sent to Siberia. Many died on the way, many perished in Siberia, many never returned.

From Wikipedia: "More than 200,000 people are estimated to have been deported from the Baltic in 1940–1953.[citation needed] In addition, at least 75,000 were sent to Gulag.[citation needed] More than 10% of the entire adult Baltic population was deported or sent to Soviet labour camps.[78] In response to the continuing insurgency against Soviet rule,[79] more than 20,000 Estonians were forcibly deported either to labour camps or Siberia (see Gulag).[80]"

Meanwhile, Stalin flooded the countries with Russians, in a plan to "Russify" them. In other words, to kill their indigenous languages and culture and history. Russian became the official language. School was taught in Russian. All the best jobs went to the Russian incomers, whom one might liken to carpetbaggers. The Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians were treated like dirt in their own native lands.

Even after Estonia and the other countries finally regained their freedom in 1991, there remained a sizable Russian population in each of the countries. The vast majority of them refused to move to Russia, but stayed and became convenient tools for Russian manipulations designed to intimidate the Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians.

Any time one of the Baltics did anything that annoyed Mother Russia, these carpetbaggers would whine, protest, etc. They refused to learn the languages of these countries, although Russians have no compunction whatsoever about forcing others to speak Russian. Russian officials made constant threats to the Baltic nations on behalf of their stooges remaining in these countries. This has gone on for the entire 23 years of freedom in these countries.

Now Putin is once again manipulating the Russian carpetbaggers in these nations, only this time he is showing his true colors. He has a grandiose mania to "restore" the Soviet Union. So he expresses "concern" about these Russians in Estonia. He will find pretexts to invade. Next step, annexation with guns and tanks.

If Estonia is such a terrible place, why don't all these Russian folks pack up and move back to Russia? Why? Because they know very well they have more opportunities, more freedom and better lifestyles in Estonia than they would have in Russia. And I wouldn't be at all surprised if they didn't receive stipend checks from Moscow to encourage them to stay put in Estonia.

I am scared for my kinfolk.
Goddess, protect them from this murderer.
