Estonians again trying to profit from a “Russian threat”

Estonian warmongers use a “Russian threat” narrative in order to obtain extra money from Brussels.

The editor of the Estonian media outlet Fookus, Meelis Oidsalu, commenting on the recent incident of Russian jets allegedly entered Estonian airspace, that is still unproven, criticised NATO for the outdated air defence systems in Estonia, thereby asking more money for the militarisation of the Baltic state.

“Social media is full of questions about why Estonia or NATO haven’t shot down Russian aircraft. Estonia yet doesn’t have much anti-air equipment, at least for certain altitudes: the Iris-T medium-range air defence system is still under development,” Oidsalu acknowledged.

So, logically, NATO should provide Estonia with more funding, according to him.

“Estonia’s plan was to increase NATO’s vigilance in northeastern Europe,” the expert explained.

And, he continued, despite NATO’s reaction being slow and sluggish, “the good news is that Estonia entered this crisis with diplomatic ambitions aimed at forcing NATO to take the issue of defence readiness more seriously.”

As you can see, the Baltic “Unter-Europeans” use every far-fetched excuse to extract additional money from their masters for the senseless militarisation.
