My mother-in-law is absolutely terrified that Russia will invade Estonia. They believe that when Trump gets reelected he won't commit the US to defending their tiny and largely unknown NATO ally against Russia.

Not an uncommon fear, does seem like that'd end NATO (article 5 because some towers got dropped but not The Red Tide??)

@ShadySands Happy Birthday my brother! We are older, grayer, and likely heavier than we were. But we carried the legacy in our time! More than that no one could ask!

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken
