The Estonians have had a lot of experience with the big, bad bear to their east and south, none of it positive.During their war for independence, they fought the reds to a standstill, then helped the Lithuanians and Latvians free their own countries.During Soviet years, reds moved a lot of Russian-speakers into all three Baltic nations, to reduce the influence of nationalism.Russians have a convenient pretext to bother the Baltic Republics, when Putin states he will "protect" Russian speakers, wherever they might be.Such a system would be very useful to small countries, particularly NATO members like Estonia, which has recently experienced provocations.
