First i'll start by truly hoping it's just propaganda.
I know we're against politic threads, but since i live in Estonia, i am concerned about all this Crimea situation and the resulting next move against us...
So, smarter heads, should i be worried ?

mmm am i reading that as russia is now putting somekind of pressure on Estonia?
RE: My concern...Is it really happening? - Vexykin - 03-20-2014
Exactly...

You can always move in with me 8|
If anything, I live on the border anyway. And next to a military training camp.

Sindroms, it's not just Estonia...Do you think when they even try to make that move against us, it won't affect the Baltic countries as in whole?
Edit: Thanks for the offer though

Who cares. It is not like they are going to start shooting civilians. The only thing the both of us would have to worry about is having to go through another currency change, this time to Rubles and, if they happen to only grab half of our countries, having to apply for a visa to travel from your home city to the capital.

Actually, the worst case scenario is that if we end up getting "military help" from the EU or US and they end up clashing on our territory. Now that would not be nice, because essentially they would dig up our front yard.

IIRC the Soviets did a lot of population moving, so the 'Russian minority' is a good chunk of Eastern Europe.

I think this is more of a map of languages, but that can still be seen as a minority of a specific ethnicity to some people. With that 'cassis beli' that is rubbish to me, Russia may as well annex Belarus.
What's next, Russia moving to protect and annex all Slavic ethnic nations? Nicholas will be pleased.

I wouldn't mind, tbh.

I mean, seriously, I cannot see how living under a Russian flag would be worse than any other.
With that, I am bailing this thread.
