Estonia angry at Russia 'abduction' on border

Estonia's foreign ministry has summoned the Russian ambassador over what it calls the abduction of an Estonian security official by "unidentified individuals from Russia" on the border.

A ministry statement said the incident had taken place inside Estonia on Friday, near Luhamaa border checkpoint.

The missing Estonian official works for the Estonian Internal Security Service.

Russia says it detained an Estonian security official on a "spying operation" on Russian territory.

1. Russia is nothing but the bully on the playground.

Unfortunately we all know how to deal with that situation. I honestly believe that what Putin wants, I am for one am to the point of saying give it to him. That fucking asshole!

3. Remember, this is right on the heels of Obama's visit to Estonia.

This is nothing short of a direct challenge to NATO. The Russian empire is malignant.

4. Absolutely true.

6. Yes, a cancer that needs to be removed.

9. Just 48 hours after Obama proclaimed in a speech

that the U.S. would defend Estonia...

10. Putin is as reckless as he is ambitious. nt

2. Maybe he was on vacation, just like the Russians in Ukraine

When will Russia tell the truth about their invasion of the Ukraine

7. Or maybe he wasn't across the border at all

back when the KGB was prolific during the cold war, that's the excuse they used quite often... so and so crossed the border so we detained them. Never to hear from so and so again.

I'm convinced Putin wants cold-war USSR back.

11. I agree

5. Time to deploy some nuclear-tipped cruise missiles to Eastern Europe?

[geek tragedy]

8. no, just some actual ground troops and the necessary munitions to

wipe out a bunch of tanks.

and, of course, secure the border.

[davidpdx]

12. No, nuclear weapons aren't going to work

The problem is once one is fired there are going to be retaliatory attacks and a very messed up world.

If anything it's going to have to be a mix of conventional and air defense.

13. Just a coincidence that President Obama was just there giving a speech

that encouraged Estonians..
