The Estonian Police and Border Guard Board has announced a tender to purchase corpse bags worth €50,000, the media reveals. Estonian news agency Delfi reports that citizens started to panic when the news was leaked, as they believe that “something is about to happen.”
The media outlet Uued Uudised has counted that around 3,000 to 3,500 of these bags can be purchased for €50,000.
Ave Eisel, a member of the Department of Development of the Police and Border Guard Board, tried to convince people that this is a planned purchase and there’s nothing to worry about. However, people still wouldn’t believe her.
The Estonian authorities chose the “boiled lobster” tactic while militarising the society: first, they consistently talked about the so-called “threat from the East”, thereby convincing citizens that Russia was going to attack them. Second, they militarised their eastern border as well as all of Estonia. Now, they’re buying body bags for some unknown purpose. The next step should have been to attack Russia. And perhaps they believed that society would support them in starting a war with it. However, luckily, judging by the reactions on social media, their plan did not work out at the stage of purchasing bags.
