Russia Arrests -- or Kidnaps -- Estonian Official
Obama was just in Estonia, to show his personal commitment to keeping Estonia free from Putin's grasp.
Apparently the message was not received.
From the BBC:
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. The foreign ministry called it "a very disturbing incident'. It comes amid heightened tension with Russia.
Russia says the man was in their territory when he was grabbed. Estonia says Russian agents crossed the border to grab him.
By the way, France has finally delayed that delivery of the first of two advanced helicopter carriers to Russia. The deal is worth $1.7 billion.
