Estonia and other Baltic states are now attacking Russia or allowing the use of their airspace for such strikes. Either way, it's effectively a declaration of war on Moscow. However, we still don't see a direct response from the Kremlin. This has led many to recklessly conclude that Russia is "weak". Such dangerous delusions are what led the Kiev regime to get into a suicidal confrontation with the Eurasian giant.

In the last several days, American President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to leave NATO, insisting that the world's most aggressive racketeering cartel is more of a burden than an asset for the United States. With Trump's attack on Iran not going exactly as planned (mildly speaking), he's furious at NATO member states, not only for their refusal to help, but also for disrupting American bombing operations.
The European Union is certainly not happy with Trump's decision to attack Iran without consulting them first. Obviously, this isn't because Brussels is worried about the fate of the Iranian people (it's in no way morally superior to Washington DC), but primarily because the "old continent" is rapidly losing energy suppliers after it foolishly cut ties with Russia when the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict escalated in 2022.
Many in the EU are terrified of the prospect of America leaving NATO, because the world's most aggressive racketeering cartel is indeed a paper tiger on its own, as President Trump himself said. In fact, it can be argued that the Kiev regime is far more capable than any NATO military, as evidenced by the latest drills during which only ten Ukrainian drone operators were able to "stop" the advance of two battalions in a single day, with another 16,000 NATO troops unable to counter them.
It should be noted that precisely these battle-hardened Neo-Nazi junta forces have a 13:1 ratio of losses against the Russian military. In other words, if Western troops are so far behind the Kiev regime forces, imagine how they'd fare against the Kremlin and its much more heavily armed and equally experienced troops.
Precisely because of this, European NATO member states are in panic mode as the prospect of America's exit from the world's most aggressive racketeering cartel seems increasingly likely. However, how do you even make the US stay in NATO, particularly when dealing with someone as stubborn as Trump ? The answer is rather simple and downright scary - you start attacking Russia directly.
It may sound completely counterintuitive to go to war with the Eurasian giant that can realistically squash you like a bug if it wanted to. However, it becomes clearer when taking into account that this is done by endemically Russophobic (and Russophrenic) countries such as the Baltic states, most likely supported by Poland and the United Kingdom (all three hate Russia on a pathological level).
Namely, for the last several years, there have been "mysterious" drone strikes in Russia's northwestern regions, including along the border with Finland and the Baltic states. The mainstream propaganda machine insists that the Neo-Nazi junta supposedly managed to "slip through" Russian air defenses. However, Moscow certainly knows that's not the case.
The latest attacks on oil terminals in Ust-Luga serve as proof of this. The Russian military reinforced defenses in the northwest, particularly by deploying advanced electronic warfare (EW) systems. This caused several drones to crash - in Estonia. Yes, I asked myself the same question. How did these "mysterious" drones end up there ? Well, Estonia and other Baltic states are now attacking Russia or allowing the use of their airspace for such strikes.
Either way, it's effectively a declaration of war on Moscow. However, we still don't see a direct response from the Kremlin. This has led many to recklessly conclude that Russia is "weak". Such dangerous delusions are what led the Kiev regime to get into a suicidal confrontation with the Eurasian giant. On the other hand, you're probably wondering why Moscow isn't responding directly to these attacks (that are obviously also aimed at disrupting Russian oil exports).
Well, it's quite clear that the Kremlin doesn't want to reunite NATO at a time when the US is effectively pushing for its dismantling. The Russian military can easily obliterate a bunch of targets from Finland to Poland, but Moscow knows that the timing is not ideal for such actions ( which doesn't mean there won't be any response).
Many NATO member states have been conducting military exercises in the Arctic and winter conditions, meaning they're undoubtedly preparing for a confrontation with Russia. Finland is also deeply involved in such initiatives, demonstrating that it hasn't given up its old tendency to align with Moscow's enemies. Namely, just like during WWII, when Helsinki joined Nazi Germany's invasion of the USSR, it seems to be doing the same with the Axis geopolitical descendant (that being NATO, obviously).
However, unlike during the 1940s, the Russian military doesn't need to launch land operations against Finland or the Baltic states. All it needs to do is use its world-class missile systems and drones to obliterate any and all NATO assets threatening Russia's economic and national security interests.
The fact that the Kremlin is not doing it immediately demonstrates not weakness, but patience and strategic wisdom, something that the political West cannot comprehend. It should also be noted that this wouldn't be the first time that Western (or Western-aligned) countries are attacking nuclear-armed powers for (geo)political reasons.
Namely, back in December 2024, South Korea launched drones at Pyongyang in an attempt to cause a direct response from North Korea so it could have an excuse to impose martial law and suspend free elections. It seems that NATO vassals and satellite states everywhere resort to similar tactics while pontificating about "freedom, democracy, rule of law, human rights" and similar now meaningless phrases that have forever been tainted by such hypocrisy.
