#2 "Foreign Minister Ilkka Kanerva (Nat. Coal.) sent a message to the Foreign Minister of EU Presidency-holder Germany, saying that he wanted clear support for Estonia from the member states"

Good luck Mr Kanerva? Maybe Finland and Sweden should have joined NATO, and not relied on the EU for security? I really hope Germany helps y'all, but if they dont, dont come crying to us. Well, maybe do, but at least face the reality thats been revealed.

#7 Anonymous 2U: That was exactly the joke a couple weeks ago.

After Russia beat Estonia 2-0 in a Euro 2008 qualifier, Estonians joked that they should tell the thousands of Russians that came in for the game that it was a trophy for their victory, and let it take it home with them ...
