Tallinn's Old Town is not only medieval looking it is medieval. It is part of Tallinn that existed already during Hanseatic League era in 1400s It is common that Estonians speak English. Estonia is part of EU's eastern block, so they will have different views of things than western European countries. Although it is probably most western of east block countries. Their education system is decent in western standards. There is divide between Estonian speaking population and Russian speaking population and current world situation probably has not made things better. Taxation in Estonia favors rich. Estonia's consumer price increase is highest in EU, which is important factor to take account if you want to do business there. https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/databrowser/view/prc_hicp_manr/default/table?lang=en current situation has not made things easier

Christian

They live with their parents and it is told that they have not been touched by man aka virgin. Meaning that they have not yet reached marriage age in culture where it is normal to marry daughters away long before they reach age 18.

Have you listened Evangelical Christian sermons? They seem to have forgotten why they were called Evangelical in first place. It is modern Christian sects that have twisted Sodom and Gomorrah and many other stories in bible as political messages

I am not sure, Christian seem to love point story of Sodom and Gomorrah as their example of what happens if you don't follow Christian way of sex live. Story told by person who offered his (underage) daughters to be raped by his neighbors in order them not to question his guest and then same poor fellow was so poorly after disaster in his home town that he had sex with both of his (underage) daughters so often that they become pregnant and he tells how it was all the daughters fault. And we should learn from this story that the narrator was holy man worth of saving where all the other people in Sodom and Gomorrah where sinful and deserved to die.

They don't know so they need to prevent all pregnant women travel over state lines

Except that supreme court decided that states can make voting laws that majorly effect negatively minorities ability to vote

Yeah I actually read German government report. Like in that politico article mentions EU has already imported more gas from Russia this year than they have budgeted for entire year. Norway has increased amount of gad they export. Meaning that Germany and Europe aren't running out of gas this year, but fear is how next year would look like. Even then it is gas price hike that they fear more than lack ofgas

Germany's gas storages are in half capacity currently, so even if they lose all gas imports now they still have gas until November (when they start to need gas for heating). And during summer month they get more gas from Norway than they use (as they import from Norway 75 TWh worth of gas in month and use 45 TWh). EDIT: Germany's energy crisis is mainly caused by fact that Germany refuses to declare energy emergency that would allow energy companies to break their long time contracts, which currently forces them to sell gas in massive loss, which has caused that they try avoid selling gas as much as they can.

They don't. There maybe million that are willing to fight and there maybe some sort weapon for all of them, but they don't have million trained troops. Many of their troops that have fought in eastern line against Russian main assault have less than two weeks of training and inadequate equipment. Ukraine does not currently have enough trained troops for effective counter offensive, at least not if Russia is able to form defensive lines.

Have you opened twitter lately? Because that isn't true in anyway. In case of Musk, it seem that he has multiple time breached his contract with twitter and according to Musk breaching contracts is one of the worst offence people can do. Although I think for him this and his political tweets lately have just been form of marketing as he is building his image as person who stands against leftist, so that people who have vowed that they will never buy electric car and see fossil fuels as way of future are now switching their cars to Tesla in order to own liberals. I mean conservatives are one of the biggest untapped market for electric cars in USA and Musk seems that found way to get millions of them buy Tesla as their next car.

It depends on what is good. 500€ in month and trying to buy 300€ Nikes is not equation that seem good for your basic Russian. But oil oligarchs probably are just angry because they can't go their favorite holiday locations and buying their favorite luxury products is much more difficult, but economically they aren't hurting.

Today Erdogan told that Finland and Sweden needs to change their laws and extradite at least 73 "terrorists"

Now it is 73 Although Turkey has not yet send single extradition request, but they already announced that they will not ratify memberships until those 73 people which they have requested have been extradited and Finland and Sweden have changed their laws about terrorism to contain unspecified things

Just some hours before Russia started their invasion, you thought that Russia recognised Lugansk and Donetsk in order to have leverage in negotiations but as we saw it was Russian way to get casus belli their invasion

Finland's and Sweden's NATO membership isn't yet certain. Turkey only dropped its opposition to start membership negotiations. There is still lot of opportunities for milking more stuff and delay the process

I would point out that Zora claimed until last day that Russia will not invade Ukraine and there is no reason for them doing so. So I would not sigh for relief

Big sunk of immigrants in Russia are ethnic Russians that have moved to Russia after fall of USSR from countries that gained their independence

Nato promised not to support YPG after that Turkey dropped their extradition demands Finland and Sweden also will sell weapons and other military equipment to Turkey

Price caps are easy to enforce, they just say companies that they can sell oil or gas under certain price. Companies will then either make loss or not buy oil and gas from market which may lead supply problems (which is why Germany for example is against it). (In many cases countries them selves are largest owners of their energy companies) Price cap will eventually cap market price in world, as demand for oil and gas has not increased, so producers either need to cut their production or lower their prices to that cap in order to sell or not sell their products to world second largest market @Sarex It is just to show that only things that fit people own political motivations interest them and same thing has no meaning when it does not benefit persons own agenda

Palestine question gets lot of press, but it is far from only area / people who want independence. It is also far from worst treated area/people Serbia still has not recognized Kosovo, so there is closer to home target for your concern how people who want independence are seen as causing provocation towards other people who see it as their right to own the land. 80% of Russia seeks independence from Russia main, which sees such actions as provocation and punish and imprison any advocates fast and harshly 50% of China seeks independence of main China and which see such as provocation that justifies putting entire population groups to prison camps. And so on. But people's struggle for independence is almost always just used as tool to attack people with different world view by pointing how those people support some people who are seen oppressing some other people. Very rarely such comes from genuine interest of people's right for independence or not being oppressed.

They do enforce rules they have put them, that is whole point of those zones. They make aircrafts to identify themselves, tell what is their destination etc. Each zone has their own rules. Although if you mean with enforcement that will they shoot aircrafts that break the rules, then answer is usually no, but they will send fighters to do the identification and escort rule breaking aircrafts out of the zone. Other countries' jets fly through actual airspaces constantly and ignore their demands until their fighters come to identify the plane. Russia and China do such constantly to their neighbors, as they know that their planes will not be shot down. Number of incidents where country has shot down airplane that violate their airspaces is very low. Only one which I remember is when Turkey shot down Russian SU-24 fly in their airspace in 2016. Which cause quite lot tension between Russia and Turkey. Russia even put economic sanctions against Turkey. Russia allies claimed that attack was strike against efforts to fight terrorism, and they accused Turkey of hypocrisy as Turkey constantly violates its neighbors airspaces. Turkey's allies (Nato) backed Turkey and said that Turkey has right to protect its airspace. Although many of them asked parties keep their heads calm so that situation does not escalate

Yup ADIZ are unilateral declarations where country/entity will enforce rules for air traffic. Considering that Finland didn't have Grand Duke even when it was "Grand Duchy". As Grand Duchy is translation from Finnish to English, officially Finland was Autonomic Grand Principality of Russia, in official list of Russia's Emperors tittles was added Grand Prince of Finland (which was one of titles of Sweden's King) when Russia 'conquered' Finland from Sweden, because Alexander I was lazy and wanted easy move of power and didn't overwrote constitution from time of Swedish rule as it make governance easier than Russian legislation, but that left Finland with more autonomy than what Alexander I meant to give it. In Finnish tittle was Suurherttua which translates directly to Grand Duke in English, but Finnish was not official language of Grand Principality of Finland until 1883, so Grand Duchy and Grand Duke are modern twists of the original tittle. As autonomic area Finland was governed by Diet of Porvoo (which changed to democratically elected parliament in 1906 ). Emperor appointed General Governor as his deputy and leader of Russian army in Finland, but he didn't had direct position in Finland's governance which lead problems during Alexander II's rule when Russia decrease amount of autonomy Finland had. Above is just to say that claiming to be Grand Duke of Finland has much less recognition in international law than Taiwan's sovereignty and claim to its own airspace. Especially considering that there is still living members of Romanov family. Here pretty decent article about what is Taiwan's position from in eyes of international law. https://international.thenewslens.com/feature/taiwan-for-sale-2020/128242

Claimed Air defense identification zones in East China Sea China imposes requirements for all civilian and military aircraft regardless of destination that fly over areas they claim Japan does not make any demands for aircrafts flying over their zone except if they are planning to land in Japan. China and Russia don't recognize Japan's ADIZ. South Korea had plans to extend their zone south after China's extended its zone go over Socotra Rock, which South Korea and China have dispute over, but at least for now have dropped those plans after USA persuaded them not to make such extension Taiwan's ADIZ was established in 1950s, which it extends over continent China and why China these days constantly flies it military planes there . But anyway China's territorial rights over Taiwan's airspace aren't currently recolonized by anyone including China itself EDIT: It seems that Russia hit shopping mall with one of their missiles. According to Ukraine official there lots of civilians in it and they currently aren't able to estimate how many died EDIT2: Reuters updated their article there are at least 2 dead and 20 wounded. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russian-missiles-hit-crowded-shopping-mall-central-ukraine-zelenskiy-2022-06-27/
