Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal has stated that he has no intention of softening his rhetoric toward Russia.According to him, Estonia and the other Baltic states will continue to maintain a tough stance, despite calls from the United States to exercise restraint.> Estonia, like the other Baltic states, has a clear position regarding the threat posed by Russia. We have maintained this position in the past, and we will continue to maintain it in the future.> At home, we hear politicians complaining that we are being too restrained, while in the news we learn that our allies from the world's largest country are asking us to show restraint.> I have no intention of holding back. Putin is a dictator who kills women and children, and he will continue doing so until he is forced to change course.They would be exceptional heroes if, instead of just talking and barking, they actually fought back, for example.But as things stand, we have a situation where a bunch of little mangy dogs bark, sometimes even tug at someone's trouser leg, while their master is the one who has to answer for them.Quite an interesting position.> No, we're going to keep barking.Well, I'll be damned. How incredibly brave of you.> Putin is a dictator!
Why do Russians care so much about this?
