THE EASTERN FRONT: HUMAN ERROR ERASES ESTONIA
FAUX NEWS YOU CAN USE
(October 2009, Estland, Faux News) - Estonia was accidentally
excluded from the family of civilized free democracies after U.S.
NATO commander listed Estonia among non-NATO nations.
Although Estonia has been a full member of NATO since 2004,
the mistake by the U.S. general likens Estonia with all kinds of
absurd countries with funny names such as “Mongolia and
Bahrain”, according to “Washington Wire”, a Wall Street
Journal www blog.
Gen. Stanley McChrystal, commander of North Atlantic Treaty
Organization and U.S. forces in Afghanistan, appears to have been
unaware that Estonia belongs to the alliance, in his report on
NATO strategy in Afghanistan, WSJ says.
However, the “mistake” was not totally accidental, according to
a senior military analyst based in Washington DC who spoke to
Faux News on condition of anonymity.
“It sends a clear message to all countries in the eastern-front
region”, he said. “Unless they fully endorse the sacred gift of
freedom we are fighting for on that front, they should not
count on immediate acceptance to the family of civilized free
nations”.
“Please don’t forget that although many Estonians did serve in
Waffen-SS troops in WW2, the German leadership never granted
a full SS membership to them”, the expert warned.
“With the noble mission that Waffen-SS had, bringing the torchlight
of freedom to the oppressed Slavs, Gypsies and Jews, SS could not
afford accepting just anyone to family”, he said.
Estonia’s freedom and democracy record regularly comes under
international scrutiny by security experts. Despite its cooperation
with nazis in WW2, the country was also home to anti-nazi insurgency
and still has a significant Russian minority weakening Estonia’s
reputation with the international community.
