I would think a compromise is possible... move the statue - leave the bodies.
Or - are you saying this situation is some russian political ploy? how so?

As I said: Russia still believes we belong to them. After the USSR collapsed, we regained independence. And Russia wants to "protect their people" and something like that. I don't know what's their agenda with us. The fact is that they actually need us. Our major ports are the gateways for them to gain access to Baltic sea which is VERY important for them. So, if we turned off those channels, they'd be fucked, not us. I don't get their policy. But it's awfuklly retarded as i can say.
Link. Russian retards!
BlueMak: Estonia's fate was written down with the MRP back in the 1939. We were left for Russians. So, Russian came, told that if we wouldn't let them build their bases, they'd just force us to do it. So, they occipied the country. 1941 they fleed Estonia because a lot of Germans came in. So, Gerries, who actually behaved like rational people compared to Russians, gave us the deal: if our men fight for nazies, Germans would leave Estonia alone and give us back our independence. It wasn't so simple after all. Actually, it was an ultimatum. Help or die. So our men decided to help. There were no volunteers. There were just men who got caught between 2 bads and they tried to choose a better of 2 bads. There were also men fighting on Russian side and it wasnt really uncommon for a brother to kill his brother or father to shoot his son... History is sad, but it's true. And as I said: Russia is still pissed off we didn't join the CIS. So, i hope you learned smth from my lesson in history
