HEY! You In The EU! The Big Bad Bear Is Back!

Russia’s ongoing political offensive against Estonia -- and implicit challenge to the European Union -- constitutes the first serious attempt to reverse the post-1991 status quo in Europe. Moscow seems to be targeting Estonia as a first test case of such a process.

Further Russian challenges to the existing European order are likely to ensue if European governments and institutions tolerate, as seems mostly to be the case thus far, the assault on Estonia.


Oy. It seems that either the EU doesn't collective see what's going on or that I am overly paranoid. OTOH, the Europeans only have limited numbers of relatives on the border of Russia in lands that Russia seeks the play revanchist with. The funny part is that this is easily negated if the EU would just act in a coordinated manner. Oh. Wait. Sorry.
