The White House: Reports on remarks by President Obama when it comes to Estonia while in Estonia, " So I’ve come here, first and foremost, to reaffirm the commitment of the United States to the security of Estonia. As NATO Allies, we have Article 5 duties to our collective defense. That is a commitment that is unbreakable. It is unwavering. It is eternal. And Estonia will never stand alone. "
Lets Get Real:
These are tough words from POTUS, the question is will President Putin think that Obama has the backbone to follow through, what if native Russians in the Baltic States start to act up with the help of Russia, they could call for self rule, and with arms from Russia cause massive problems in the area, and cause NATO to be on the spot, are they willing to go up against both IS and Russia. The good days of the old Cold War look great at the moment. If your Putin you must think its worth the gamble. take over the Ukraine, then place political pressure on the Baltic, get the local people to call for native Russians to either have self rule or become part of Russia. Troubling times ahead for the West.
