#3 If Russia should seize e.g. Estonia's Ida-Viru County what would NATO do ?

What would the EU do ?

Send troops to serve the noble people of Russia ?

Accept the Brezhnev doctrine and finlandization ?

#5 Elmeret: nice find.

What an interesting point, given that Ida-Viru not only has mostly Russians but also most of Estonia's indigenous energy sources.
