- Estonia Prime Minister Kaja Kallas is one of Ukraine's biggest allies - and says Nato needs to do more against the threat of Russia.

Estonia is also one of Nato's biggest spenders. The country borders Russia and could be one of the first countries if Putin decided to invade.

Lots of people nowadays seem to live in la-la-land. It is depressing.
The Kremlin elite quickly figured that fear anti-western rhetoric can help control Russian population. War became part of life.
The western world lives in la-la-land because it feels defeated. So it looks up to Kallas to lead them. That is the depth of the defeat.
Kallas is a liar.
She claimed her family suffered under the Soviet regime, when in reality her own father was a high ranking Communist.
It's understandable that former Soviet Union satellites have an axe to grind with their former master , something Washington craftily exploits. These nations don't recognise they are led by the nose to destruction.
Washington doesn't care a bit about European destruction. Its wars always were conveniently far away from U.S. homeland. European crises always offered opportunities for Washington. Both worldwars made the U.S. an imperialist world empire . Plus they paved the road towards Israel.
WW2 presumably started because of Poland , which after 5 years and millions of deaths was dumped on another tyrant. A tyrant which was very useful to beat the Nazis.
Troll!
Let's send her first

She is absolutely right! Bullies are provoked by weakness
Like the US?
@@Wolfvain-qs5su In some cases in the past yes. Yet not in this one, here the agressor is Putins Russia invading Ukrain. So next time when the US would invade a nation, i am all with you. This now is not that time.
@Wolfvain-qs5su
Was Saddam showing weakness by annexing Kuwait and refusing to leave?
Did the Germans show weakness by machine gunning tens of thousands of British and American troops when they stormed Normandy beach to liberate France from fascism?
Do you remember after Iraq and Libya, Obama said he wouldn't send troops to Syria unless Assadd used chemical weapons. Then Assadd used chemical weapons and the US didn't intervene. Is that what you prefer? Dictators dropping mustard gas on thousands of men, women, and children?
We get blamed if we do and we get blamed if we don't.
@@kinngrimm so if I warn you about something and you do it anyway and I give you a slap on the wrist, I’m the aggressor?
She is right , this is 1938 , Putin got only weakness when he took Crimea from Ukraine , like Hitler , that only spured him on for the next land grab . He thinks ,and is just as evil as Hitler. All wars are started by a perception of weakness , Argentina did not think the british could retake the Falklands , they thought that was impossible , Putin did think it would be over in a week , and he would visit Kyiv like Hitler visited Paris.

Exactly. Russian trolls are pissed at Poland's FM as well and it only proves he is doing great job
What is the great job she is doing ? Just yapping like a tiny dog breed. If Estonia misbehaves with the bear, she will find the bear will claw Estonia, and all of NATO won't come to the rescue - because they would be afraid to be clawed themselves.
Or just a pathological Russophobe?
Its the Ukrainians that need to be training the Nato Troops.
Ukraine may have infantry tactics down pat, but not combined arms.
😂 NATO troops have been in continuous wars for 40 years. China is the most biggest and inexperienced army in the world. They only got simulation training. No veterancy at all.

😢 Delighted to see her leave really- Estonia can be Singapore or Dubai stupid government just raise tax.
Kallas is one of the most stupid leaders in Europe. She has called for breaking up Russia into a thousand pieces, exactly proving one of Vladimir Putin's main points: not content with breaking up the Soviet Union in 1991, USA/NATO wants to break up and destroy Russia. Kallas heads a micro-nation of 1.3 million people and wants to wage all-out war against Russia, a nation of 144 million with a strong military and extensive natural resources. You don't need to be particularly pro-Russian or pro-Putin to realise that she is one of the dumbest and most incompetent "leaders" in Europe. If you want to start WW3 with Russia, and destroy Europe once and for all (after the horrible experiences of WW1 and WW2), then by all means, support this stupid woman that Estonians are unlucky to have.0
Yeah, get tiny country into war with nuclear superpower is very ‘smart’. Clown.

Her grand grandfather was a natsi from Kaitseliit. Her father was a communist for 20 years, then he switched to nats izm and decided to demolish Red Army monuments in 2007. And she lies that her family didn't see candies in USSR. Candies always were through all USSR in good variety and they were good and tasty. Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine, Georgia lived better than the rest of USSR republics, they were a showcase of USSR to the West. They had everything. Especially when your father was a communist, her family lived fat of the land. But she says, that she ate sour cream with sugar instead of candies. It was part of fun in USSR - sour cream with sugar on bread, it's like a popular peanut butter on bread today in USA. She is a complete hypocrite, like her father. And she put her money ($350k) in her husband's Russian business , while she was trashing Russia a few years ago. Then Estonians found out it and asked her to leave, she lied that she didn't know about husband's business. She is a real politician - lies, lies lies. She fits todays EU very well.
So???
No such things in your family, I suppose?

@@rb847 It is a fact that 80% of the Soviet men born in 1923 died in WWII.
@@snuffle2269 Not all Soviet men, mostly slavic got killed. Chechens, for examle, sabotaged military draft in Chechnya during WWII. They didn't want to go to war. There were only about 20k Chechens in Red army and half of them run away to Chechya. Stalin then sent them all to Kazachstan in 1943 for their cowardness. Today Chechens, as well, stay away from front line. Stalin then, after war, in his famous speach, emphesized only Russians as brave and very patiant nation. This is what we see in Ukraine today - stubborn Russians are fighting stubborn Russians. NATO countries are laughing at Slavics, killing each other. The West could only dream about it.
@@snuffle2269 YT is hillarious, doesn't allow to write th truth. Deletes messages... Not all Soviet men, mostly slavic. Not all nations in USSR had such huge draft, as Slavics had. Plus, Slavic kids run away to Red Army, by chalking up their age. If they were 15-17, they changed it to 18. Some nations of USSR sabotagex the military draft to WWll. You can read about them.

They are, which is why they have unleashed the KremTrolls on her. Her country is just one small part of a the bigger jigsaw. If Russia shits on her country she has a lot of friends and many of them have a better economy than Russia and together their militaries dwarf Russia and their population combined also dwarves Russia. With or without the US bring it on. This Russia will cease to exist.
When will she volunteer to fight at the frontline?
A superbly composed and clear-sighted series of responses, a veritable diplomat not to be caught out by giving cheap popularist views. Imagine Farage, Wilders or Trump answering those questions with equal composure and demonstrating the need to control the mouth.
Wilders could. The others couldn't
Well said. Although small, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania have all produced political leadership that is often a level above other larger nations. Their experience of Russian occupation is still within living memory for many - hence when they speak, their words are grounded in the reality of what could happen. Well educated, articulate and not afraid of speaking the truth - Bravo.

That’s a fair point but when these small countries that are being bullied by Russia join NATO and they want all the western nations to join in their defence, then citizens of western nations have a right to express concern about hostile rhetoric towards Russia.

It's been over two years of "We will defend Ukraine as long as it takes", "We will seize Russia's foreign assets", "We will introduce new sanctions on Russia" and "We will work on security guarantees with Ukraine for the next 5/10/20/50 years" (which are non-binding and meaningless, not worth the paper they're signed on). Every summit, this is the only thing G7/NATO states talk about. I'm surprised there are still so many out there who cling on to this fantasy and hopium. I think I'd get bored by now and be well into the point of "Oh there's still a war going on there?" if the topic was brought up to la-la-land version of me.
Estonia is not only using 3.2% towards its military, but are also the number one NATO country in donating to Ukraine measured by GDP, far more than America. Denmark is second in that regard.
Yeah, and nothing that pensions in Estonia are among the smallest in EU and inflation and price growth are the fastest in Europe! If you only could read the comments of estonia readers in the estonian media!... Buy the way, during the USSR the birth rate in Estonia was about 25 thousands per year - not it is 11 thousands.
@@avroraaspasia7214, unfortunately, it is not possible to rase pensions and increase the production of weapon or defense spending at the same time. But safety is the main thing for everyone unless a person is a child or one with an IQ of a child.
To their credit the Estonians do give more to the Ukrainian cause than any other NATO member by GDP per capita. However, the United States spends more on defense than any other country on the planet, 12 1/2% of GDP. That’s more spent on defense than the next five countries combined. That amount isn’t needed to protect the US from Canada and Mexico, but to keep the shipping lanes open for everyone, including its enemies!
@@joehowe9532, why did Japan attack the US in 1941? Was it because the shipping lanes were open for everyone?
Estonia and Denmark will play key roles - blocking the Finland strait, blocking the Belt/Oresund passage, using Bornholm as a forward base against so called Kalingrad
If the US only stops the controversies, I don't think Russia will move further. They have said it loud and clear. NATO is just making ridiculous rumours and speculation
Is that the same as when in 2022 they categorically said they would not invade Ukraine?

@@JohntheHun I suspect you are Russian or a Putin fan ? Allow me to explain to you further: In the EU and NATO, all nation members are supposed to be equal, thats how and why it works. Only bully states (like Russia) seem to think that only the biggest, most aggressive nation only have a voice. Estonia isn't insignificant because it's a smaller nation under the alliance. She has voice, an intellect and a clear and present understanding of the dangers of Russia both to Ukraine but also to her nation and others along the boarder and to Europe has a whole, which in turn, affects the world and the US. So yes, it is incredible you feel her unfit simply on the grounds that she is the leader of smaller nation that you feel is ok to bully. If you 'fear' for your country (which is what exactly ? Hun was a word used in the world wars about German soldiers, and Nazi's) then if you are really European, you should absolutely fear a war with Russia and any inaction, inability to STOP Russia in Ukraine could very well lead to a full war in Europe as Putin will not stop and subjecting 44 millions Ukrainians to his brutal rule. If you don't want to see European (Ukraine is in Europe!) raped, murdered, tortured and controlled by Russia, then The West needs to FULLY support Ukraine in stopping Russia, thus preventing an all out war with Russia. Thankfully for other Europeans, Ukrainians are dying everyday battling and being bombed by the monster Russia and by doing so,, is avoiding a direct war with Russia. Putin is a Dictator, he is obsessed with empire, don't be fooled in to think if Ukraine falls we can all go back to blindly missing what he's up to.

Bravo Kaja Kallas, it is a shame that many of the allies have so much use escalation as their reason to delay or hold back support for Ukraine. Ukraine was promised security for disarming their Nuclear arsenal and this security has been sadly lacking. I hope the US wake up before it is to late to stop WW3.
MAGA republics has no memory when it comes to Americas role and responsibility. Ukraine lost ground, troops an civilian lives due to MAGA Johnsons following traitor Trumps orders. So much for US alies
Excuse me, I think POTUS who is shadowed 24/7 with a Pentagon Officer who holds the 'Football', literally the 'red button' which can start WWIII, knows more what he is doing then you do. Ukraine never could have survived as a nuclear power, Putin would have taken them out a long time ago with that as a Casus Belli, not to mention they didn't have the launch codes or ability to maintain or upgrade them. The fault is two fold, neither the West nor Ukraine (yes Ukraine!) prepared for this full invasion after 2014. Ukraine is a conventional arms building country, but their MOD wasn't buying any. All their tank production went overseas.
And yes escalation is a serious issue that I think the leadership has a better handle on then anybody on the internet, so it makes no sense for you to on the one hand say 'just give them ', and on the other hand talk about WWIII. Final comment about giving them 'whatever it takes', you know they didn't use all the arms that were supplied for the spring counter offensive. Their army is still operating under Soviet doctrine, which is small squad based. That's why the Bradley is so effective. The US advised a major effort to push to Crimea but they didn't do it, instead fiddled around and then just sent out squads, which inevitably led to this attritional war.
Ukraine never had a nuclear arsenal. It was russian. Same like US nuclear weapons in Europe.
@AndrePepink
False equivalency. US has agreements and personell to maintain the few remaining nuclear weapons oficcially owned and controlled by Pentagon. Ukraine actually posessed nuclear systems on their own for around 4 years and had capabilities and personell to use them. They were left in Ukraine when Soviet army returned to Russia, and reason Ukrainians had competence to use them is because in largest part it was Ukrainian engineers who not only designed and maintained ICBM/naval nuclear systems, but actually produced them before.
Idk what you try to say, but if Russia could have taken them in 1990-1992 without a blip, why would they sit down with US and UK top diplomats and drafted Budapest memorandum in exchange? The Belarus and Kazakhstan didn't have to do that despite also possesing USSR nukes at the time.
I'll tell you the main reason Ukraine happily agreed: they were in unprecedented financial crisis with record inflation, which made maintenance of the aged ICBMs an untenable nightmare. That and promises of safeguarding the country's security by 3 parties worked.. untill they didn't. If you wanted to make a point about Budapest Memorandum being weak in international law, you could have come up with something less rashist to prove that point. And mine is: Ukraine were tricked and betrayed by more than just Russia.
@@Kerorhavbc777Ukraine did have nuclear weapons,the USSR weapons after the collapse of the USSR were split equally between members of USSR.
Ukraine surrendered it's share of Nuclear weapons so that Russia could have the USSR seat in UN security council with power of veto.

In WWII, as a percentage, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania kelled more Jews, than Germans in Germany, western Ukrainians in Ukraine and Poles in Poland. She is a great kid of her grand grandfather from Kaitseliit. She returned to her grand grand father genesis. Austrian artist Estonia and EU vs Russia 2.0.
Poles were not killing Jews despite the fact that holocaust took place in Nazi Germany occupied Poland - lern history before propagating a lie …
@@TB-bb6kb In 2002, American historian Ian Gross, a Polish Jew who fled to the United States during World War II, published the book “The History of the Destruction of the Jewish Shtetl.”
In it, he cites numerous eyewitness accounts and a number of documents that irrefutably prove the fact of the most brutal crime committed by the Polish residents of the town of Jedwabne, which is 100 km from Bialystok.
On June 23, 1941, the town of Jedwabne was occupied by the Germans. At that moment, approximately 1,600 Jews lived in it. Half of the entire population. And on July 10, a terrible pogrom against Jews broke out here.
The neighboring Poles, who had lived together for centuries, suddenly became brutal. They killed their Jewish neighbors with barbaric cruelty. They chopped off their heads with axes, pierced their stomachs with pitchforks, cut out the tongues of the unfortunates, gouged out their eyes, and drowned them in a pond.
The Poles killed Jews in Wonsoš, Wizna and other cities and towns. And in total, during the war years, the Poles carried out 25 more similar actions in the eastern part of Poland.
And when Jews escaped from the Holocaust, the Poles caught them and handed them over to the Germans.
In 2001, at a funeral ceremony in Jedwabne dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the pogrom, the then President of Poland A. Kwasniewski officially apologized to the Jewish people for these crimes.
Here's the record of oppression faced by Kaja's father

- 1989-1991: Chairman of the Central Union of the Estonian Trade Unions

Russia and Ukraine are effectively having a border dispute in Eastern Ukraine, and this woman is really discussing sending troops to Ukraine over it? Talk about drinking the kool-aid.
"Border disputes" normally do not provoke tens of thousands of casualties on both side and are not started sending military convoys from at least 3 major directions: I guess your kool-aid tastes a lot like vodka.
its a little past that.
@@GiacomoSorbi I have no idea what else to call it. Russia says Luhansk and Donetsk is theirs, while Ukraine says it isn't part of Russia. In fact, Ukraine still says that Crimea is theirs. Sounds a lot like a border dispute to me. 🙄
Anyway, there have been lots of border disputes in the 20th century that caused tens of thousands of casualties. The most obvious examples would be the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Iran-Iraq War. I guess they just aren't that important to you though. 🤷♀
Border dispute? No, it's much more. Crimea is Ukraine. The eastern provinces are Ukraine. Russia illegally invaded Crimea in 2014. Then they "annexed" it, which is another word for stolen.
Pro-Russian separatists, sent by Putin to Crimea and the eastern provinces, fomented a revolt. This has been proved. The whole world knows it.

Oh really? Tobias Ellwood has served. In fact, he's still in the army reserves despite being in his 50s. Also his brother died in Afghanistan. Tom Tugendhart and a number of other MPs have served.
What will your next excuse be? 🤔
It should not be a condition that politicians and their families serve first. It takes a person to be strong mentally and in character, and have courage of their convictions. It is not for everyone.
I served and it made me a much better person, particularly through the amount of humanitarian work we were tasked with. It makes you less selfish and to see the world through different eyes. It teaches you to respect others and their property/possessions, sadly lacking in today’s society. Too many people expect or demand that the state does things for them, as too many lack the ability to be self sufficient.
Don’t get me wrong there are some bad ones in our armed forces.
@ albacan, so if foreign forces entered your country you would sit in your chair awaiting capture, possibly your death, and watch what the invaders do what they want to do with your family and neighbours. I think you need to imagine what it is like for people in invaded lands and then perhaps realise what you are saying, from your safe little chair , is more than a little silly.

@@johnmckeowen739 No I like smart people and I like Kaja as a woman (coz I like women) but I hate her, and people hate her, for cooperating with western atlanticists (NATO global warmongerers) or globalists or however you call them (you don't call them at all tbh when no background info - it takes some to understand it).
Obviously I can't show you history here, and show documents, on how Ukraine men were pushed to war and being killed by these warmongerers, with no chance against russia, and it is the western warmongerers who started it -
on the last point you just need to see documents (Minsk agreements, old agreements on NATO border regions etc - you freekin can't bring nuclear at the border of RU or start killing russians inside Ukraine - that is insane - 11 000 were killed starting from 2014, thousand children murdered by western supported groups inside Ukraine) -
but you can go to a RAND dot com site and download the official document ( called "Extending Russia - Competing from Advantageous Ground") ordered by US Army at analysis of how to use Ukraine, Estonia and other border countries to destroy Russia - the document is from 2019, so it is before the last escalation because the document is part of the plan of how these warmongerers, including in Estonia, would trigger the action from Russia. By triggering it that way - all the mainstream media could be turned against RU. Now they try to bring down the government in Georgia, the same way they did it in 2014 in Kiev.
Did you get your crate of vodka bottles from the russian embassy last month?
I am Belgian. Just a small country.... But so is Estonia..... Kajak kallas..... You are not elected you are apointed...... Ukraine is not in nato and not in European union..... I will not fight for you. And so are many people. I will not forget what nato did to Serbia and Libya..... Nato bombed them. Wich was not any of our concerns. So stating that nato is a defense alliance is a big lie. Russia knows this to. And has been preparing for a confrontation with nato..... You kaja will never win. You don't realize that the US is an ocean away but the bear lives in the forest right next to you..... And you are beating the bear with a very small stick..... Wait until the bear starts to roar. You might be under Russian rule again..... And this time Russia will not go back away after 50 years. And you will end up in a gulag in syberia.
Ivan! Sooo easy to see! Greetings to mad wedew (1,61m).
I believe Estonia gave away almost all their self propelled field artillery to Ukraine and so much of the 155mm ammunition for it. "Minister of Defense Hanno Pevkur (Reform) was informed last April already of the fact that Estonia is €1.6 billion short of minimum requirements for ammunition stocks under NATO defense plans, " So Estonia might be fighting with sticks and stones.
