Sorry for the absence, everybody. I’ve been partying and celebrating my birthday. But now I’m back with a news update.
NATO will be holding military training in Estonia, next to the border with Russia. American troops are taking part in the training.
Now when somebody starts on with the ignorant “Putin invaded Ukraine because he was bothered by the NATO presence close to Russia’s borders”, you can tell that person to stop being an idiot and learn some facts instead.

Wish NATO and Russia would both stay out of Estonia.

Hopefully the training the Estonians receive will be better than that given to the Iraqis, Afghanis, and the South Vietnamese.

The value of the training is mostly to show that NATO will defend the Baltics if the need arises. But yes, I also hope that the training is useful.

Useful and unnecessary would be a great combination (as would training in Ukraine).

It’s also great for morale in Ukraine that Americans have arrived to provide training.

I now have warm and fuzzy feelings whenever I see American soldiers. 🙂
