I heard the sarcasm cristal clear when I read it the first time

“If we have to burn a few bridges with Denmark”

First, no motherfucker, you’re talking about burning bridges with the entire EU, we are a union for a reason after all even if Hungarian and Slovakian leadership thinks otherwise. And whatever bridge is left to burn with Canada will be gone, I assume. And second, casually threatening Europe with nuclear fire from a “political entertainer”, straight out of Russia playbook. I wonder at what point the seething anger I’ve felt towards America for months is going to morph into hatred. What a nice relaxing weekend this is. Fucking great.

This is not about about the naturalization process, or about naturalized Estonian citizens, but foreign residents. In the EU, if you’re not a national or EU citizen, you are not owed to vote in the local elections because you’re a legal resident. Previously Russian and Belarusian resident were graciously allowed to vote, and now this privilege will be rescinded. So I wouldn’t say it’s nationalist jingoism but common sense, Russia is actively engaged in hybrid warfare with the EU, and countries with a shared border are worried enough about illegal crossing from russian agent, so Estonia doesn’t need to grant special privilege to foreign citizens from a hostile country so they can mess with their local elections.

This is fucking abject. Trump’s mouthpieces trying real hard to pretend like the war in Ukraine is entirely the fault of the Ukrainian people and treating with contempt, for what ? Getting invaded and bravely resisting the enemy coming to kill them on the frontline and their homes ? Getting betrayed by their strongest military ally ? While Russia, the country sending wave after wave of soldiers, missiles and drones to kill Ukrainians in their own country, by some twist of their mind, bears no responsibility for the continuing of this war. “They got themselves to blame” ? For not wanting to capitulate without conditions after 3 years of war and deadly sacrifices, and giving away their natural resources to the US for nothing in return ? I will never forget how perfidiously the US is currently acting no matter how many years pass, and I think many others in Europe won’t either.
