it is interesting to note that in the lennart meri memorial photo, he is wearing a tie with an eu logo - showing that yes, all politicians know how to butter their bread .... a few väliseestlased did vote no to eu

I concur fully with your thoughts, although we are now on a different treadmill altogether as an EU member, and it's a little too late to cry wolf, when we had the opportunity to say NO in the first place. Did you vote no like me? Nevertheless, life goes on, and we need to make the right decisions in spite of the tendency of Estonian interests being traded against global interests. Nothing will turn the clock back, unfortunately.

a "cosmopolitan intellectual" means that person is probably pushing the financial elite's 'one-world' agenda .... which is not good for estonian nationalists who wants to preserve an estonian identity !
