If Russia wants to invade someone, they don't need passports! Silly story, this.
Great selection for translation!
As for the previous comment - the russians don't go around attacking other countries willie-nillie. There must always be a "legitimate" reason so as to minimize international criticism. I suppose that issuing passports, thereby "protecting russian citizens" has proven most effective in the eyes of the Kremlin. In the case of Ossetia, the Kremlin "purpose" caused a great lack of unity amongst EU and western nations.

Russia has drawn a lot of blood from the issue of protecting its citizens abroad. Of course it wouldn't issue the same criticism against Israel, for example, but in the case of the Baltics, which have always floundered on weak political backup, it's easy to get a lot of mileage from the citizenship card. It would be foolish to imagine Russia is not capable of reclaiming dominion of the Baltics. Their current economic floundering, and Russia's promise of aid etc would be a strong incentive for the EU to look positively upon Russia's goodwill in working co-operatively with European interests. After all, when the global financial crisis passes, there is every likelihood that Russia will push her interests to the forefront. I am expecting to see the Baltic states re-incorporated into the Russian sphere of interest within the next 10 years.
Anonymous makes very reasonable points. I only wish, if he/she won't identify themselves, that they choose a pseudonym, like say, AJALOOJANE, or something.

A question for you, Maxim -- what makes you think that you are capable of predicting the future? And what makes you think that there is anyone who cares about your inane babble?
Between your incoherence and your conceit, you are really something to behold.

wanna bet that Maxim and the above to Maxim- a la Trine are probably the same person
what's the problem with someone speculating on the future ? ... everyone does it, and if it goes against your thinking, explain why
you unfortunately do not seem capable of doing that
maxim is a cheerleader and he always is cheering on fat eddie's team

Maxim de la Trine predicts that Estonia will be under Russia's thumb within a decade.
And who cares about a fool's predictions?
What's disconcerting is that the vile cretin likes the idea.
