I'm pretty sure most occupied countries had Nazi symphatisers and people jumping in to fight on the German side, Denmark had a division fighting against Russia, they were sent to prison after the war.
Even Russians were collaborating with the Nazis, there's no society where 100% of the population would back their nation, but the majority of them couldnt have known about the fucked up atrocities the Nazi's were commiting at the time.
Yeah. It's really weird, because there is really, REALLY little love (I am trying very hard to avoid the word "hatred") towards Russia in Estonia. Crimea was happy to join and is throwing parades, Estonia will fight till the last drop of blood not to. Anyone who is not clinically stupid can see why trying to incorporate/annex them would be a horrible idea.
As for the article you linked, Russia tends to get annoyed when Estonian and Ukrainean govertments try to ban Russian language from schools and public media (television, newspapers, cinema, etc). I believe this is what the diplomat mentioned in the article is referring to, but I can see why it would be seen as a potential pretext for annexation by the Estonians, however ridiculous it may seem to me.

В предчувствии движения племен,
Разломов тверди и кончины мира
Пою не то, о чем мечтает лира,
А имена теней и тень имен.
Right. But the timing of the comments made them sound like a threat.
And you're absolutely right about the way Estonian's feel towards Russia. There's definitely no love lost. That said, they didn't generally take issue with the Russians living in Estonia, except for how they apparently behave on the beaches. Their issue was really with the Russian state.
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
I guess Turkey has carte blanche to harrass Russian ships close to their border.
Not saying Russia is clean and innocent, but the US ain’t no angel either. I’d like to get the story from both sides before making a comment.
Sorry but I gotta take exception to that, if it had been flying around in Turkish airspace for a minute or so then it would have been justifiable, if it had been asked to leave it would have been justifiable, if it had been shot in Turkish airspace it would have been justifiable. But shooting it down for allegedly crossing over a boarder peninsula that allegedly put it in Turkish airspace for a few seconds, and shooting it knowing full well it would be gone long before the missile connects, when the president of Turkey has personally said such transgressions should never lead to an aircraft being fired upon, is unjustifiable.

I have a feeling that account is going to get banned early an often. The US was behind 9/11 y'all. You heard it here "first."
Owned? The ship was in international waters during peace. It responded appropriately by deploying the spotting team and doing nothing else. Had it been a time of war, those Su-24s would have been at the bottom of the Baltic before the first pass. The footage shows the crew responding in a normal manner for being buzzed by poorly trained (by NATO standards) pilots at low altitude.

I was on the Lincoln when this first came out. In the Pacific. When the ship involved was identified as the Enterprise.....

The only "Russian" border they were close to is the stolen land of Königsberg. The ship was conducting flight training with an allied nation well inside international water in a body of water mostly bordered by NATO or neutral countries.

In 1939 the USSR was fully collaborating with the Nazis.

First off, thanks for posting. You seem to make an effort, that's cool. Second, I could imagine one paper writing bullshit, but when all papers across all western nations report on the same thing, usually the core elements of the story are correct. And Russian media has been proven wrong time and again. Could anything convince you that your media is lying to you? I suppose not. So this pretty much ends our conversation already. Bit bummed out about that, I like talking to people from all over the place.

So, airspace boundaries and national borders are... really just optional guidelines? And you get to decide whether or not something is justified based on someone's feels? Do you really think that makes for a good set of rules?

Professional militaries don't do stupid stunts like this.
Testing the reaction against the chance of a possible shootdown is idiotic.
