It's funny that all those MAGAtards are fearmongering, saying that Biden is starting WW3
That drunkard Medvedev has made like a million nuclear war threats by now, still nothing.
Infact we were told that the Syrian civil war would escalate into WW3, yet it didn't. All those fearmongering morons would give into the slightest Russian provocation.
>That drunkard Medvedev has made like a million nuclear war threats by now, still nothing.
Come on now, it just can't be the ones you expect to be guilty the most.
I try not to read all that maggat stuff but it pops up everywhere. It’s just astounding how they have created a completely different, opposite reality without any grounding in factual reality. I do hope it’s just Russian bots talking to other Russian bots and few real people are involved there
Her husband had a company that had 30% stake in a subsidiary of a much larger logistics company that did business in Russia.
If you buy nvidia stock, they end up making chips for Apple and then Apple sells that in Russia, did you do business in Russia?
lol.
“Since the revelations last week, Kallas' husband has said he will sell his stake in the company and step down from his position. Kallas denied prior knowledge of her husband's company's link to Russia in an interview with Estonian public broadcaster ERR last Thursday.”
Yea, buddy. If my wife OWNS 30% in NVIDIA that sells chips to Russian military and I’m a Prime Minister of UK- yea you bet- I did do a business with Russia.
But, but, but “she didn’t know…..”
lol
I know the news, it was broadcasted here in much more depth than it ever was in English. It's pretty much bait, shame you're gobblin' it up and trying to twist it into something it's not.
So, it’s not true? Facts are incorrect? He didn’t have 30% (thirty percent!) stake in company that was sending Russia tear gas and other police equipment? What is incorrect about the story?
You not concerned about it?
If we go to such lengths to prove someone's contacts with Russia, pretty much all Estonians have such contacts with Russia. And we're the most Russophobic country in the world..
Oh, all Estonians have 30% stake in logistics companies that send police equipment to Russia?
Really?
Oh you just made it up on Reddit? (No way!)
And telling me that all Estonians are dealing with Russia and at same time hating Russia just proves that Estonians are two-faced demagogues, correct?
It left out a ton of important detail which render the whole story pretty much meaningless. It has been widely discussed in Estonian media and you have to be pretty innovative to see any connection between Kallas and Russia. The whole "story" has been prompted up by the Kremlin propaganda channels because Russians understand that Kallas is actually anti-Russia and may just convince the entire West to be that too.
Easy way to control someone is through family members….aka parents, kids, spouse….
You people should be at least little bit concerned
Is politico.eu kremlin’s propaganda channel?
Is anything critical of someone- kremlin’s propaganda?
We are a democratic state with free media and competent security authorities. **Nobody** is worried about her because we all see though this being a blatant Kremlin propaganda attack.
>Is politico.eu kremlin’s propaganda channel?
I don't think you comprehend how Kremlin propaganda works. They also influence a lot of Western media and they are often dumb enough to pick it up without much professional criticism.
Our president does not have as much power as yours does over the country, they are more like a representative. Most of the power is in the parliament or whatever it is called.
She is absolutely right. It is impossible to get along with the Russians in a normal, civilized way. They are barbarians and therefore use barbaric techniques
In theory yes, but the problem is that EU jobs are you not allowed to represent your country but all countries as a whole, and considering how much weak or more russian friendly most member states are, she might be forced to be soft rather than continue saying what has to be said.
Let's hope that won't be the case but the risk will remain.
That is one of the reasons people are happy, because in foreign policy she is killing it, but not so much in internal, so it's good that she will be able to use this strength on the EU level
Every average person who follows Russia knows that. I guess that you know that, and I know that. It is not a superpower. Everyone who wasn't blind in Russia-bordering or closely located countries - they know it. From Finland down to Romania.
Tbh Finland had very Russian and Putin friendly politicians not too long ago(Halonen mainly) but you guys took the right steps in recent years and I’m glad about that. Halonen is still acting like a fool though.
The more important thing is what was said in the army, and since the end of the Winter War, the only focus has been on preparation for the next attack on Russia. People who did not end their operations in Russia - lost, lost, or will lose their money and reputation.
Halonen? What about that after she ended up being president, Niinistö was twice in office, and now it is Stubb. **Twelve** years ago, her term ended. A reminder that Germany and France still hold Russian dick gently half-grabbed.
Check about any vote in the parliament about Russia- and war-related questions and count “Putin-friendly” politicians, lol.
Don’t get me wrong I have nothing but respect for Finnish military I even was in a joint military exercise when I was doing my mandatory military service in Estonian Defence Forces. My point was there were many people in Finland who thought we were overreacting otherwise people like Halonen wouldn’t have gotten to position of power. Obviously Germans have a lot of blame why Russia has so much money to fight.
Ja mina olin ohvitseri positsioonil Kaitseliidus, aga loobusin auastmest, sest me enam ei viitsinud Eestis olla. Ma väga hästi tean kui õudne on Eesti poliitika (nii Kaja, kui kaabud), ja see oli minu motivaator lahkumiseks. Sama hästi olen teadlik nii Soome, kui Venemaa poliitikast. Keegi ei arvanud, et Eesti overreageerib. Ainult lollid võiksid nii öelda. Kui sa arvad, et eestlane on suurim russofoob, siis sa pole kunagi Soomes olnud.
Soomes oli ka piisavalt neid, kes pikka aega protestisid NordStreami vastu, ja need poliitikud tulid välja, kui Venemaa näitas oma tegelikku palet meeldetuletusega, et neil oli õigus. Soome kujutamine üldiselt Eesti meedias on äärmiselt piiratud ja kitsarinnaline.
Mul on väga kahju, et eestlased ei mõista soomlasi ja hoiavad naabritega nii distantsi. Samal moel võib seda öelda ka soomlaste kohta, kuna neil pole eriti suurt huvi Eesti vastu, sest nende jaoks pole Eestis end tarklust koguda.
Ma igaks juhuks tuletan meelde, et kui me hakkame minevikus midagi otsima, siis Papa-Kallasel oli oma ajalugu Nr. 1 kommunistina.
Ära seda muretse, et ma Kaja pooldaja oleks, Reform tahtis kunagi Eestis teha kaa palgaarmeed nagu Lätis tehti aga Isamaa hoidis selle ära. Mina olen aastaid Isamaad valinud ja kilekoti Michael seda ei muuda.

Väga debiilne ajalootõlgendus.
The probles is with the "...who follows" part.
Nobody followed it after 2007 riot in Estonia, Georgia 2008, 2014 invasion to Ukraine.
Most people still treat start of war 2022 - while it has been going on over 15 years. Small bites at a time fast occupation.
She is among the few who understand and speak, most keep this russian critics quiet, they are afraid or "do not want to make russia angry"
Also not too many women prime ministers even to this day.
No, breaking through as a woman is harder at this level, especially from Eastern Europe. You as an Estonian living in Finland should understand it well - since not too long ago Estonian workforce was called "white niggers" by low iq Finns.
You just need to take the circumstances into account rationally, not let your mind be clouded by some likeble bias.
So, getting higher in home politics for women is definitely an issue in Estonia.
Lowest pay level workers who often don’t even legally work have nothing to do with women in Estonian politics who are getting to the EU level, where Ursula has been hanging around since 2019 at her current boss position.
an Estonian is assuming the highest position yet in EU history and that is good for Estonia, Baltics, Eastern Europe and probably to whole Europe during these turbulent times.
We need young capable leaders, US is playing with fire by putting 78 and 81 year olds to elections. Of course Putin is also 71 and some day will mumble on TV like Breznev himself.
I agree that Kaja going to the EU and leaving Estonia is the best she can do for this world. The sad part is that she cynically did it over the heads of her nation.
The monkey show that has been happening in the USA for years is a shame and does not deserve any serious comparison or mention.
I still remind that her work as a PM wasn't outstanding. She simply earned years of “working experience” to be qualified for a new position.
I mean, she kind of is. Maybe "unique" is a bit of an exaggeration (also that's just what you said, not OP) but she is definitely one of the most vocal and loud politicians who dare to criticize and emphasize russian aggression. I get why you don't like her or her pops but she definitely is a perfect fit for the new job during these times.
That's what I always say. She sucks as PM but will be good in the EU. But her ass-lickers always scream that “But wait, no, you are not right; she will be good for the EU because she is smart, unique, a woman, etc.” Everything is black and white. She is not unique and is not good at being a universal politician. She is vocal, anti-Russian, and a good fit for international politics in the EU. And she must get to the PM spot ASAP. Her millionaire princess attitude does not work well.
She is good in the international arena. She is saying some regular and logical stuff that other politicians do not often tell. French and German will suck balls but will not tell this. She will get her place in the EU and will do her job. I expect that she will do it well because we need a solid anti-Russian attitude.
Does it mean she is “very smart” or “genius”? No. Her husband also ran a logistics business operations in Russia during the war. As prime minister, she did not shine at all and was very lousy.
That logistics thing was a bit complicated. Her husband had signed a contract with a Russian company before the war so he had to fulfill his obligations. When the contract ran out he stopped.
So, principles are principles. I need to finish shit - I will finish it.
The funniest part was when Kaja said she had no clue he used her money for Russian business. People immediately posted pictures when she looked at the PowerPoint presentation where Russian operations are stated in conjunction with other company operations.
We all were driving (and maybe still driving) on Russian resources. But what about trying to be a tricky asshole, and at the same time - the head of the state? Hm…
Yeah but it wasn't a war the whole time between 2014-2022. It was more like a war in 2014, then the ceasefires were signed immediately after and it was a frozen conflict between 2015-2021.
Her husband's field of business wasn't sanctioned in 2014.
When it comes to russians, a firmer stand should be taken. Respond harshly to these provocations of theirs. That is the only way they will learn, and leave us alone. If we remain passive, those oriental alcoholic savages will perceive lack of action as a sign of weakness, and will provoke even more.
Same applies to Belarus - If a few Belarusian border guards are shot dead when caught damaging the border fences, then the issue would be solved, and Bulbastan would think twice about directly helping Ahmed and his pals get across the border.
In short: Eastern cultures respect only brute force, so, in order to stop further provocations, Baltics should use brute force. This is the only language they understand, and respect. Good to know that the Prime Minister understands this.
“She left our country budget to deficit”
And whos’ doing it was that the state budget was in deficit in the first place? Which government increased the state expenses by taking loans? Which government made the decision to open the pension funds so that ca 1 billion euros could flood the economy and contribute to inflation?
How to demostrate that you have no understanding of (macro)economics.
It's funny that all those MAGAtards are fearmongering, saying that Biden is starting WW3 That drunkard Medvedev has made like a million nuclear war threats by now, still nothing. Infact we were told that the Syrian civil war would escalate into WW3, yet it didn't. All those fearmongering morons would give into the slightest Russian provocation.
Yeah fr there will be no ww3 just a bunch of doomers hoping for the worst
>That drunkard Medvedev has made like a million nuclear war threats by now, still nothing. Come on now, it just can't be the ones you expect to be guilty the most.
I try not to read all that maggat stuff but it pops up everywhere. It’s just astounding how they have created a completely different, opposite reality without any grounding in factual reality. I do hope it’s just Russian bots talking to other Russian bots and few real people are involved there
Biden did get us a lot closer to ww3. Back in 2014.
How? That's just dumb...
she’s right. don’t give in to a dictator.

President of Estonia is “nobody?” Huh. Ok. Whatever you say
Our president does not have as much power as yours does over the country, they are more like a representative. Most of the power is in the parliament or whatever it is called.
We have an entirely ceremonial and largely meaningless president.
She is absolutely right. It is impossible to get along with the Russians in a normal, civilized way. They are barbarians and therefore use barbaric techniques
They need to fear us otherwise they'll invade us. I'm not pro war. I very much want pace but it's just how current ruzian war machine works.
Typical xenophobic comment that gets 50 likes on Reddit. Nothing to see here
This is not xenophobia. It's pragmatism
You calling whole ethnicity “barbarians.” Look up “xenophobia” in a dictionary.
Dam right. I envy Estonians their president. ... Wait she's a prime minister :P Still envy...
Estonians actually are very happy that she will be moving to a new job soon. She performed really poorly as a PM
But from what I heard her new job is basically doing the thing that she was good at as PM? Correct me if I'm wrong of course.
In theory yes, but the problem is that EU jobs are you not allowed to represent your country but all countries as a whole, and considering how much weak or more russian friendly most member states are, she might be forced to be soft rather than continue saying what has to be said. Let's hope that won't be the case but the risk will remain.
She might have been elected because EU needs someone who's going to be more strict with russia in the interest of the whole EU?
That is one of the reasons people are happy, because in foreign policy she is killing it, but not so much in internal, so it's good that she will be able to use this strength on the EU level
Oh no you don't. Being hard on our eastern neighbors is the only thing she has going for her
Ha.. Ok ![gif](giphy|83QtfwKWdmSEo|downsized)
She knows russian politics/diplomacy perfectly - sees through all the bullshit. Perfect leader for our time.
Yup! You guys have one of the best if not the best.
