Where’s the other SMO?
I'm sure you know it's the term used by the Ruskis for the invasion of Ukraine...

I do. I just refuse to use it when the word invasion is available.

Luckily for Estonia they're in NATO and luckily for any Russian planters in Estonia they're free to leave.

Yeh, a lot of younger ethnic russians born in Estonia and in the former Estonian SSR have emigrated to Russia and beyond, the ones who remain are older generation who moved to Estonia when they and Estonians were citizens of the USSR.

Yeah I know it's a symptom of Russia's illustrious colonial history. Seriously though those Russians should want to integrate not divide a country they reside in. Regardless I don't think the Baltics are too afraid to poke the bear when they have NATO as insurance and Russia won't be able to attack while the war rages in Ukraine. The fact they've handed over a huge percentage of their weapons suggests this.

Terrible sad situation with too many lives lost....hopefully some sort of resolution can emerge to end this. Not looking good though.
