The Estonian authorities are erecting a human shield of conscripts on the border with Russia

TALLINN, December 17. /NEWSBALTIC/. Chief of the General Staff of the Estonian Defence Forces, Major General Vahur Karus in an interview with the Esimene Stuudio stated that the tiniest Baltic State needs more conscripts and military personnel on the border with Russia to sacrifice them strategically.

“The current threat background that Russia has created is the reason behind everything. This is what actually forces us to look at the situation differently. Sergei Shoigu’s (former Russia’s Defence Minister—Ed.) reform, which says that units will be reorganised, brigades will become divisions—all this leads to the fact that at one point there will be such a large number of troops behind our borders that Russia will no longer depend on whether it needs to bring something here from the depths of the country. Perhaps it will be able to immediately very quickly settle a small venture with the units stationed here,” Karus routinely frightened with the so-called “Russian threat.”

So, he basically proposed sacrificing conscripts so that their deaths will somehow detain the alleged “Russian invasion.”

“This is the reason why we have to, regardless of how we respond to it. Intelligence and early warning are actually changing every moment. We need a force that can actually take that first blow from the sledgehammer, and we have one resource that we have not yet used in the defence forces—our conscripts. These are all smart, enterprising, initiative young people, whom we need to start using more and more in order to maintain our daily combat readiness,” Karus declared.

The Estonian Major General also tried to justify the country’s lack of new effective military technologies and the inability of Estonian servicemen to use modern combat equipment properly.

“Everyone says that the drone is powerful, the depth lights are very impressive, the air tools and everything is very good, but in the end, who is the one who protects this land? Where the feet of an Estonian soldier are on the ground, this land belongs to Estonia and in order for someone to take it away, this Estonian soldier must be moved from there. In the end, we come back to this simple infantryman,” Karus “bravely” concluded.

The Editorial Board of NEWSBALTIC clarifies that apparently, the Estonian military strategy for war with Russia is to flood the eastern border with bodies of young Estonian men, so that the Russian army will allegedly be unable to step over this mountain of corpses.

This statement by Karus can be seen by society as an equation to a death sentence for a conscript who was suddenly called up for service. And this is basically correct. Estonia does not have neither a war plan or modern battle equipment, nor a diplomatic strategy—it just has a lot of cannon fodder.
