And they are not afraid of the next lullies in McDonald's?

The town with a population of 5693 people will rejoice at the arrival of thousands of civilized Europeans - they have probably already begun to prepare lawns, and moths flock from all over Estonia ...

From a military point of view, this town is a large railway junction, which means it allows you to quickly strengthen this grouping ...

While they will be engaged in assimilation, but in general a very serious springboard for further deployment.

The British are doing everything, as they believe, to strengthen the peace and security of the Baltic States, I would have looked at their reaction if Russia had deployed its military contingent in Ireland to also strengthen peace.

The Estonian president probably had a butterfly standing on end and rested against the glasses with joyful excitement and anticipation of the NATO "power" in the amount of 800 people.

Thanks for the amendment. She's only been president for a month, and I'm out of habit about the old. I had to write an ex.

oh, the western warriors can't wait to gaze at the terrible Russia with a small eye, and then the lady tell terrible stories about her hypothetical exploits, but in general it seems that the more they talk about their safety, the more their countries look like a courtyard where they hang out everyone who wants to, and even shit, can, but they just scuffle and clean up, (do these naive people think that someone will harness for them in the event of a fight, how many examples in history when, despite all the promises and britos, and service jackets, they threw their wards, something in 1939 they were in no hurry)

The battalion will be equipped with heavy military equipment and will be stationed in Tapa.

Tapa (Est. Tapa) is a city without a municipal status in Estonia, an administrative center and an integral part of Tapa Parish. Large railway junction. The population is 5693 people.
By 1991, the following units of the Soviet army were based in the city: a school of driver mechanics for engineering troops, an anti-aircraft missile brigade and, at the airfield, air force units: a fighter regiment and a separate squadron of Mi-24 helicopters.
The ethnic composition of the urban population almost all the time consisted of Estonians in the majority, followed by Russians. The exception is the period of the late 1980s - early 1990s, when the majority were representatives of the Russian-speaking population, the number of which subsequently significantly decreased precisely because of the withdrawal of military units of the former Soviet Army.
Now the majority will be English-speaking!

Now Russia needs to stock up on fly swatter?

[Altona]

Meat for provocations. The defense as it was and will be zero, and if the English Landsknecht is slammed, or even better several on armored vehicles, then there will be a casus belli, that is, a reason to start a war with Russia or accuse Russia of something and impose sanctions on a full Scottish kilt. There is no more sense in these British warriors

The British are born defenders of the weak and the poor. They will fight the aggressor to the last Estonian. So Estonians can sleep peacefully. Moreover, Russian bears do not eat them. very sour.

Another cannon fodder for the Iskander.

[Niccola Mack]

If the British send troops, it means they think that it will be safe there in the near future!
If they thought it was dangerous, they would not send it!
As history shows, England is ready to fight to the last soldier - if only he is not English.
