Russia recently kidnapped an Estonian defense official on Estonian territory. This will end badly, Putin is the new Mussolini.

Meanwhile, Russia confirmed it detained a man named Eston Kohver, who its security service, known as the FSB, said was detained on Russian soil.
The Estonian officer "had a Taurus handgun, an amount of €5,000 in cash, equipment for covert audio recording, and materials indicative of an intelligence mission," Itar-Tass reported, citing the FSB.

I trust Estonia over Russia. The first will probably lie, the second never tells the truth.

Russia is notorious for infiltrating the defense and intelligence services of its neighbors, they have no grounds to complain.

Mussoloni was a great man who's reputation was tarnished by his association with Hitler; a man who corrupted his ideas and vision. In the next 20 years, there will be statues built of Mussoloni in Italy. He's a man increasingly revered in that country.

I don't think that's the image you were trying to convey of Putin when you made that comparison.



A trait they share with America. Except with America, this extends to not just neighbours but allies.

Russia's a bunch of dicks.

Russia best country for rich students; they can buy their diplomas ^^

i wanna care about this but i more worried about the Fact that there is no pro Football on tv tonight.
The state of television is really going to crap.

Mussolini was an ineffectual moron. He rattled the saber of Italian nationalism when Italy was, by all metrics, a weak, minor state.

He ruled poorly at home and his jingoistic bluster led to ruin abroad. But it doesn't surprise me at all if the Italians are embracing historical revisionism.

And Germany spies on close NATO allies like Turkey, so what? The point is that Russia had plants up to the highest level of Estonian defense, they have no high ground here. What's outrageous is that they've kidnapped an official from Estonian territory, I hope we get troops in the Baltics soon.
