#1 How well armed are the Russians living in Estonia?

#2 The US Senate today passed a resolution supporting Estonia and rebuking Russia. The resolution's main sponsors were Joes Biden and Lieberman.

As reported by Novosti.

#3 regarding the arming: in Lithuania it is allowed to carry guns up to 6 mm for self-defence without any permission, just be over 18. Weapons over 6 mm are allowed for self-defence, but this needs passing courses, doctors, paperwork.

#4 Nesvarbukas, M-16s are 5.56mm.

#5 Just read the gun laws, which basically say that:

1. Estonian citizens at least 18 years old can apply for permits to own non-rifled guns and hunting weapons.
2. Estonian citizens at least 21 years old can apply for permits to own all civilian-use firearms.
3. Resident permit holders can apply for permits to own non-rifled guns and hunting weapons, if they have permits to own such weapons from their country of citizenship, if such permits are required there.

So any weapons these people would be carrying would likely be illegal. I wouldn't recommend waving around guns in Estonia, as both our cops and the Kaitseliit, our semi-civilian National Guard are armed to the teeth as well.

#6 We looked for it on 9/12 and couldn't find it.

Not quite true. They volunteered to help in Afghanistan. Rummy decided to pursue things in alone. Not a bad decision as events have shown.

#7 NATO crews also flew AWACs patrols over the US after 9/11.

#8 One of my govt. sources told me that the Estonians have identified the sender of the incitement e-mail as a 20-something Russian in Moscow. NOT the Kremlin, which is a relief, IMO, regarding May 9.

They've asked the Russian govt. to arrest him. ;-D

#9 P.S.: This guy is probably part of the Nashi "pro-Putin" brigade that has been barricading the Estonian embassy.
Since the Nashi's were paid for their "demonstration," this week, who knows how far the rabbit hole goes?

#10 Wel-l-l, various international messageboard/forum sites have received postings or articles from seemingly dedicated anti-Americans = anti-Caucasians/Xtremists calling for de facto ARMED REVOLUTION INSIDE THE USA + ESTABLISHMENT OF INDEPENDENT SOVEREIGN, OR "PARALLEL", ISLAMIST-MUSLIM + AFRICAN/NEGRO + HISPANIC-LATINO "STATES"
= "HOMELANDS" = ARMED ENCLAVES. IMO, their greatest debate between these anti-US Xtremists is whether these new "Nations" = "Homelands",
etc. will be $$$ dependent? on Washington DC = remnant of America???

#11 It's probably a bit late to say it, but welcome! Nesvarbukas and Sam! Oh, and Sam, I quite enjoyed your "beyond the soundbites" series. And there was much rejoicing, indeed.
