Commentators in the Estonian press were favourable to Obama and his speech. That's evidence for their weak comprehension of nuances in the English language.
ETV should have subtitled the speech, rather rely on ineffective simultaneous translation.
Obama's opening remarks lacked gravitas; more suitable for casual conversation at an informal gathering.
In reality, Obama was addressing Putin, with a deadly serious matter in mind -- trying to convey the message that the USA will take Russian aggression seriously and react decisively -- something better than expressing concern and consulting with friends in Brussels.
For that, Obama failed miserably.
He's an empty suit. During his last campaign, he didn't know how many states compose the USA. From that, he learned not to hazard a guess at the number of Baltic states.
Putin is devious. He knows exactly how to pace himself in re-establishing the Soviet empire. He's got two more years to do it.
