What's the problem? I think Ilves is the one with the problem, since he finds it hard to accept that the Baltic states are not as important as what he imagined them to be. The correct response from Ilves is not to bite back, but to get to work on creating an image in which Estonia and other small countries play a role in the bigger picture of European politics. To imagine that we carry as much weight as Russia is just a reflection of how much one is able to deceive onself. If a poll were to be taken Europe-wide in connection with the very same question, I am certain that the response would be the same as what Klaus espoused to his Khabarovsk public. Tinkering with the big picture in an effort to fine-tune it to one's advantage is merely a waste of time and energy, methinks.

Anonymous, me thinketh that Thy usage of the verb “methink” is a much too modern innovation for me. Thou shouldst not be so enamoured by such modern speech.

All kidding aside, I suppose Anonymous thought that this pretentiousness would make himself sound erudite. In actuality it sounds childish. But I digress…

Vaclav Klaus is a Euro sceptic and a Russophile, who refused to allow the EU flag to be flown at his Presidential Palace. Does that tell us anything?

Klaus’ assertion that the EU should pay more attention to Russia than the likes of [EU members] Estonia or Lithuania is deserving of President Ilves’ censure. Imagine the reaction here, if some politician said we should pay more attention to Russia than the likes of Saskatchewan.

Maksim… is it you that I detect behind that cloud of ignorance?
