@@huskydogablethe one who uses so many shitty emojis in his comments should grow up first
yes, yes ofcourse .... just so many facets to work on ... i know it must be hard, for that i ask only good outcomes ✌️ 😑
More people in Eastern Europe need to say it, as this is the ultimate flaw in the Z narrative. NATO is not "expanding"; Eastern Europeans are asking to join NATO, and the alliance agreed. Russia has no business telling NATO or Eastern Europeans how they should behave.
that ''expanding'' thing is just a bullcrap ruZZia is using to cover their ''ruscism''...
the fact is that NATO proved to be slow... and too ''political'' [negative to a defense organization...] when ruZZia took Georgia and Crimea NATO members made money with ruZZia.... and that's weakness not just to the ruZZian mind, but to everybody else too!
NATO has a lot of problems to fix!... we as Greece for example ''play good'' inside NATO, but we arm ourselves against a NATO member, supposed to be an ally, and alliances they made inside NATO [the ''political'' thing i said...] it's all messed up but outside NATO is even worse!....
Exactly right. All of the Baltic states, for example, joined precisely because they feared Russia doing to them what Russia has done in Ukraine. If anything NATO has been too slow to allow cou tries like Ukraine to join - these historic victims of Russian aggression and colonialism have long been telling Western leaders that Russia cannot be trusted. We did not listen.

@@HumanBeingsRThinkingBeings nukes in the heart of Europe [Belgorod] and now Belarus, equals nukes in Poland and soon in Ukraine!...a mind that can't see ithe reason in that is just ''stuck'' on something!
I have been saying EXACTLY the same thing - EACH country has the RIGHT to decide who it's friends are - and RUSSIA has NEVER been a Friend to ANYBODY. It has ALWAYS been the CONQUEROR.
God Bless her, fantastic leader of Estonia. Australia stands with Ukraine! Slava Ukraine!
Good leader❤❤🙏🙏🙏📖

Define "occupation".
Then "When" should I expect a Russian nuke on my head estonian prime minister? No thank you.
God cannot bless her, because both she and all other Western regimes are in the service of the devil. God is with Russia, the most Christian country in the world.
She DEFINITELY has her head screwed on right! VERY knowledgeable, and well thought out! Estonia is in good hands!
Smart smart leader. She makes excellent points.
If the only paramiter preventing Ukrane is the current conflict, then there is no reason why NATO members cannot agree that they will become mebers as soon as the conflict ends. That then places everyone in a known position and makes Russia's stance futile, further more, it will deter further Russian actions in other countries. It will also once conflict is ended, prevent Ukrane becoming involved in possible other Russian actions in neighbouring countries such as Moldova and Georgia.
Ukraine should definitely join NATO for 2 reasons:
1. Ukraine needs NATO's help for when Russia will try to attack again to take more land.
2. NATO needs Ukraine's help for when Russia will try to attack again to take more land.
There are a couple other details that prevent Ukraine from joining NATO - Corruption is one, but Ukraine already has an ANTI-Corruption Unit and court that seems to be effective - DESPITE Joe Biden's attempt to undermine it. BUT NATO and Ukraine DO have a plan, and I will be glad to see when Ukraine actually joins!
Slava Ukraina!
Kallas speaks with wisdom and practicality. We all need to share this widely!

I am 100% with you on this matter.
For those who do not have a deeper knowledge of the conflict in Ukraine, it is recommended to watch Colonel Daniel Davis' YT channel when he interviews Jacques Baud who worked on a NATO mission in Ukraine for several years. There are at least 2 different interviews.
Jacques has worked in many different countries as he has extensive knowledge in several areas. Jacques has also worked for a few years on UN assignments.
Jacques goes back to the 1990s to today to explain events that affected the conflict.
UKRIANE SHOULD BE IN NATO NOW!
We could use a clear-thinking president like her in the US.
This lady is genius. I love Estonia.
Glory to Babi Yar, Azov supporter!
I Like that Lady. She really Knows what she's talking about and She has the Historical Facts to back it up. Amazing!
Nothing 'wishy-washy' or questionable in her Commitments. Straight Forward and Intelligent in her answers!
Why can't America have Pragmatic Politicians like that? Nothing Hyperbolic. Not trying to get 'Points' over someone else.
Everyone needs to see this Fine Example of a Leader.
"Russia russia russia", meanwhile Azov Nazis right now take ordinary ukrainians and force them against their will to go kill ukrainians of Donetsk. If you want Nazi leader, go to Nazi Ukraine (not the Anti-Fascist Ukraine of Donetsk).
The US does have such pragmatic politicians, though few they may be. The biggest problem is that both the more popular media outlets AND the overwhelming majority of news consumers prefer to pay more attention to the disruptive, the dangerous, and the demented politicians and newsmakers. And that will probably remain the case until the US finally, fully WAKES UP!!!
I am Estonian. I personally never supported the party Kaja Kallas , the Reform Party. Or any right wing political party. But I like Kaja Kallas as a person. Being Estonian and seeing our everyday political life here, I can see that most politicians are not polite and nice people, they like to be as mean as possible in debates etc. Kaja Kallas had always been polite in the traditional sense of the word. Not in a stupid way. I I appreciate that about her.
Although right now it seems that the general population deos not support her very much. I work in a firm that carries out public opinion polls and we always have a poll going on about who you would choose as prime minister were the elections next week, or do you trust the prime minister etc. Nobody yet has answered that they would choose her at the moment and nobody trusts her. But this has always been the case with Estonians: it is in our nature and culture never to be happy with the politicians who are currently in power, to always be critical. And I think it is a good thing. It keeps us awake and has saved us from going to sleep and taking the easy way out. Had we done that, we would not exist as a nation anymore.
But Kaja Kallas" father, also a politician, used to be a comedian and a quiz show participant, and was loved in Estonia, back in the days. And I think that subconsciously it is the reason why Kaja Kallas is thought of quite warmly here. Kind of like the daughter of the comedian. So people,. even if they are critical of her, kind of forgive all her mistakes. So Putin can just f..k off of course with his stupid arrest warrents, he has no authority here anyway.
@@user-zy1vp2sw9c I'm amazed at the Courage of Kaja Kallis. You should be proud of her because the rest of the World respects her.
What a competant and well briefed lady on the conflict between Russia on Ukraine. Great to see her answer so well, no flim flam. Good interviewer too.
May God grant Ukraine victory over all enemies.
Hello everyone from Estonia, your prime minister seems to be excellent. What is she like on domestic politics. Thank you

Immediately kick Turkey and Hungary out, bring in Ukraine on a conditional basis, and impose a NATO no-fly zone over the entire country. This war crime must end NOW!
Hungary can be taken care of later. But that Turkish bastard along with the country must be kicked out from NATO without delay.
How dare that bastard Erdogan is! His country is being secured from Russian aggression but he is covertly keeping liaison with another bastard Putin! And blocking entry of Sweden?! Turkey is like a 'Trojan Horse' inside NATO!
Turkey may be a 'Pain in the A$$' but NATO needs their Military Industry and Airports.
If you 'kick them out' you will be fighting them also because they would join Putler.
But I Certainly Agree with 'End It NOW'! Too man Ukrainians have already died because of ruzzia's thousand-year-old Habits. So far they haven't been selling Slaves -that we know of.
Sounds like a great idea to me. Hungary definitely doesn’t belong

You're a bit over dramatic reporting my comment when I support Ukraine and not Russia ain't you?! And as for victim blaming, I suggest you read what I said after and before mouthing off. I'm more on their side and I hate what those Russians did to those poor Ukrainian victims.
@@PrototypeFreak89
Didn’t report anything, your comment and everything just disappeared on me… not sure 🤔 what happened?!?
Clear aggressor/ perpetrator/ invader …. And trying to both side the event/ crime/ war, that is victim blaming. Maybe you should read up on the definition of victim blaming in criminal psychology or similar literature…
@@Lorenz1973 And yet you still don't get it! I'm against war and innocent civilians being killed, injured and abused. I am anti-war and maybe you should read up what it means. I was not victim blaming like I said in my remove post and was blaming political leaders for provoking war and carrying it on even more and benefiting from it.
Thank God for women becoming more prominent on the global stage!!❤
Great interview, opened my eyes on a few subjects.
Prime Minister Kaja Kallas , I love her . She lays it all out and backs it up with facts .
Funny how all these little countries can get along perfectly well without Russia or any desire to be Russia .... But Russia can't get along without them .
You are an +++++. One of Finland, Estonia's largest trading partner was Russia. They WONT get that trade from the West who will leave them in the lurch if Russia makes a move. Have you been to Finland or Estonia ? Expert? Apart from the FACT that Russia had NO interest in Western Ukraine they also have no interest in the predominantly gay - selfish sanctimonious idiots in Finland and Estonia. You probably could not GIVE either country to Russia. However, if, like in Ukraine, the Estonians start oppressing their Russian speakers, Russia will take Estonia in a day and rather than invade Finland just reduce its cities to rubble from THEIR side of the border. Pull your head out of your ***.
Kaja Kallas: the only politician I would ever want to talk tax-policy with over lunch.
Brilliant Leader!
I applaud her intelligence, her sense of history leading to Russia's current threat to world peace, and her respect for nation's of good faith negotiating to avoid stupid, unconscious, world threatening conflict for dominance. Bless her.
And such refreshing honesty in a politician
She is talking rubbish, Ukraine will never join NATO.
It will be neutral or become a buffer zone between NATO and Russia.
she is writing checks for NATO that Estonia won't have to honour.
@@occamraiser Her government has agreed to increase defence spending to 3% of gross domestic product for 2024-2027, from 2.85% in 2023, to arm itself in the face of the threat from its neighbour Russia. Which is what they are required to do. Until recently nobody truly realised just how desperate Russia was.
She’s elegantly beautiful.
ThankYou for speaking the Truth!
This lovely lady rides a bike to work everyday. 🚴♀️
A strong and intelligent lady
Fu%king Estonian Nazi. Estonia had their own SS-batallion.
Lot of praise here and wishing similar politicians to countries elsewhere, and for a good reason for what's visible here. But like with any politician, there are many facets. She is excellent with stance on Ukraine, controversial in internal politics, downright bad with tax policy. Latter is political view of course, someone else will say different. But her campaign had no mention of big increase in taxes, only increased saving for middle-class and up, during period when we need to bring budget back to balance. Used no-confidence vote to push though wide tax jumps while lowering some taxes to middle class and up. Reduced support for large families reverting change from just last year, while we had the lowest ever birth rate year. Bypassed parliament with total 6 controversial laws, practice never used in Estonia. And she didn't ask for a mandate by including these changes in her campaign, choosing the be a ruler rather than representative. Nor with same-sex marriage, not a word on this during campaign, and used no-confidence vote to push law on issue where population is deeply divided on
Great interview. I'm very impressed. Amazing individual. Great representation of Estonia.

Excellent interview. 💛💛
Keep Russia out of the Baltic and Black Sea. Russia must stay away from these sesa. Russia is belligerent..
I agree. Ukraine not joining NATO after receiving NATO training and equipment would only lead to another European war; NATO can learn a lot from Ukrainians. I am upset at my government for slowly providing Ukraine help. I believe we, America, should open our 'weapon box' to the Ukrainians to end Putin's Russia's aggression. Many think Ukraine's counter offensive is slow... I say, "Go clear a trench with people shooting at you and see how fast you can do it and remember the frontline is over 1000km." Ukraine needs F16s, longer range precision weapons now - well, a year ago. There is no reason to drag feet now unless our politicians want Russia bogged down in Ukraine - seems like it with "No" to HIMARS, "No" to Abrams, etc and we all know the "No" was changed to "yes"
Doing what the Ukrainians are doing without Air Power is Epic!
I'm Sick of Watching them Die while everyone (well, not The Baltics and Poland) Drag their Feet on every little thing.
When will they give them Planes? When all the Ukrainian Pilots are Gone?
But whatever you do, don't upset Ruzzia -like they care who They Upset.
@@RTmadnesstoo You don't "just give planes" ... these things take time, logistics and training... It's not a videogame.
@@ddpxl But your Wrong! I got my F-15 a month ago.
@@RTmadnesstoo I agree. They should have trained the pilots much earlier and give Ukraine long range weapons earlier. Ukrainians learn to use weaponry very quickly and are very adaptable. Nato countries need to increase weapon production too.
@@WorldCitizen0000 I understand some defense companies are saying that the orders are not large enough so it's not worth starting production.

NATO adhesion comes with a handshake. Russia empire's submission goes under a sledgehammer.
NATO can take Kosovo from Serbia but Russia can’t take Donbas from Ukraine. This is why the world looks at the West in disbelief. Do not judge when your war machine has more blood on its hands.
Kaja its so Wise woman. Estonia Have good hands. Hope we get on future Wise primeminister here on Finland.
I don't know what Kaja meant in respect of Gorbachev?
Gorbachev worked for people's freedom as much as he could.
He made a few mistakes, but I don't think we would be where we are now if it had not been for Gorbachev, and I mean that in respect of even having a free Ukraine who can fight!
And the Georgia Gov't is corrupt... so I would hope this interviewer is playing devil's advocate in respect of asking such obvious questions?
Awesome beautiful woman! Stay strong Ukraine! Viking prayer from old vet!
Wow kaja ... Call me 😍
Omg weve got sunak and i would hang on her every word 😂
As an Englishman, may I say....what an excellent, intelligent, Prime Minister Kaja Kallas is !
Kallas to GS of NATO now please.
Ukraine should definitely join NATO for 2 reasons:
1. Ukraine needs NATO's help for when Russia will try to attack again to take more land.
2. NATO needs Ukraine's help for when Russia will try to attack again to take more land.
Russia is winning. It has nearly exhausted NATO supplies. The US has even begged China not to supply Russia. Despite the strongest sanctions in the world Russia is not broken (sanction upon sanction).
Russia can occupy Russian dominant areas but otherwise has a very hard time of expanding. The population growth is not looking good at all, there won't be ever growing supplies of young Russian people to take over the world.
Estonia might become more powerful if it can increase that atrocious birth rate, if only each woman could have 6 children to power up the country and keep needing more territory for them to expand into. Having a growing population of young people is necessary to gain territory, work, breed, set up the institutions needed to make that location part of the parent country - it can't be done with a shrinking population composed of mostly old people.
1. NATO never has and never will need Ukraine's help. NATO is already uncontestably the most powerful military force on the planet, and the addition of Ukraine contributes nothing meaningful or significant to that force.
2. Russia is not going to attack any NATO countries unless they are attacked first. Russia is not suicidal.
So why can't Ukraine have co-defenders, Ukraine and NATO. 🤨

Thanks Estonia for standing up on the frontline, and showing us ALL true bravery in giving your Sov era artillery and shells to Ukraine. I reckon we in the US are still short 300 M2 Bradleys, another 100 M1 Abrams, 142 Stryker MGS (retired), more M-109 SPGs and now 150 F-16s. Enjoyed your NATO Press conference speech. My family came from Lithuania and they're very nice folk to get to know again, with no contact since 1937. You're rebuilding in a smart way, so best wishes to all your people. I do hope our DOD gives you a deal & sends you some of our forty year old Bradleys and their TOW2 missiles are also "obsolete" now, which destroyed more armor in Iraq than Abrams MBTs. There is a GAO Report online. Our 8000 M-113s were obsolete 70 years ago but if your needs must, make them an offer? We'll save more on storage and maintenance so bargain hard. Free is good. You can always fill them with any unwanted officers and send them toward the sound of the guns? I spent 2 days in Latvia and then went back to Lithuania for their much better beer. Estonia next trip over. I get my best data on this war from Perun on YT.

8:11 get the look in her eyes about Russia running over Baltic's before NATO can help... when she murmurs " liberate us" Now working at pre-positioned defense equipment and ammunition; defense vs deterrence... requires spending now
Amen
True words!
Hi I love hou my darling
Curious how those who border Russia understand best what steps should be taken to cease Russian aggression now and prevent it in the future , but at the same time they are those listened to least...
The only security guarantee is to gear up to ones teeth. Even NATO is in fact just a written commitment. Would ayone rely on Turkey or Hungarys support, if push came to shove?
Some perspective is needed: Europe is 500.0M people, Russia is 140.0M. Why is Europe leaning on America (and others outside NATO) to finance and equip Ukraine when it’s capacity dwarfs Russia’s? The Europeans are laggards, it’s their war, let them sort it out.
Big thanks to Kallas for showing us with her deeds that it's perfectly acceptable to do business with Russia!!! 🙂🙂🙂
Would you - hypothetically - consider neutrality for Ukraine as a potential "greyzone"?
We tried that before. In the 90's Ukraine promised to remain neutral and gave up their nukes in exchange for Russia to respect their sovereignty. But when Russia invaded Georgia in 2008 it made Ukraine second guess themselves and began considering joining NATO. Which started the domino effect leading to the 2014 Ukraine coup and annexation of Crimea leading up to today.
If there were more people like this lady in power the World would be a much better place. The human race might at long last reach maturity and realise that taking what you want by force and aggression is always morally wrong. As a male it dismays me that our gender causes most of the suffering in the World. We are all one species and if we learn to co-opertate together like responsible adults we can eliminate human suffering caused by greed or hunger for power. We have a beautiful planet and we should concentrate on taking care of it. We should not have to waste resources on so-called defence. The money would be better spent on preserving life not destroying it. There are enough natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, droughts etc to contend with - we don't need man-made disasters like mass murder and destruction of homes and lives. ALL LIVES MATTER. Love and peace to you all.
Well said Kaja Kallas. Honest and to the point
I like Kaja Kallas very much and she is a great prime Minister.
Yes exactly!!! I was born in Estonia in 1970 and live in it, but I have an "Alien" passport and there are 300,000 people just like me!!!!! - it's because we were born in the Soviet Union!
Do the children of those with "alien" passports get full Estonian citizenship? We have a lot of people in the US that don't have US citizenship but their children become American citizens.
That means your parents where not in Estonia before 1940 and/or you couldn't pass a basic estonian language/history test with 21 ... or you didn't want to take distance of your russian passport. Also it's ~90k people with those passports .. not 300k

She is excellent.
The comparative amounts of money spent on military spending by different countries is misleading. Russia wastes a lot of money because of the rampant and systematic corruption in that country. The US, Germany, France, UK and Italy (other large countries) already have (various degrees of) established military infrastructures and substantial (usually highly subsidised) defense industries. Smaller nations, ...not so much - they have to spend a lot more on establishing military infrastructure and often have to pay more for military equipment.
The end of the war could also be the end of Ukraine or Ukraine minus the areas Russia claims.
great, this will de-escalate the situation in ukraine, since the war started because of the west's desire to include it in nato

Kallas jawboning fellow NATO members to spend their share on defense is a waste of time at this point. I will never tour Austria, Switzerland, any free rider member (
Austria 🇦🇹 and Switzerland 🇨🇭 are not in NATO. Switzerland hasn’t been part of any alliance for centuries, it is well know to be neutral. Austria was told to stay unaligned after WW2, it only joined the NATO “Partnership for Peace” program in the 1990s. That means somewhat friendly with NATO but not really in NATO. So neither country is in NATO, or ever has been in NATO. And NATO has never forced anyone to join, countries always choose themselves and applied. The majority of the citizens of the country need to support the application. Ireland 🇮🇪 is not a member either, never has been. It has always been a choice of the country. What are you talking about?
So your vote is towards a weaker EU and a weaker NATO. Russia thanks you for your efforts.
@@PartisanGamerDENot sure 🤔 if this thread is some trolling. Not a citizen of any of those countries, only the citizens of these countries will be able to decide about NATO membership. NATO has never bullied a country to join up. That would be a fundamental change in NATO’s approach. All countries have decided, the citizens have decided. A respectful discussion within those countries. No bullying from anyone else. No bullying from NATO. Countries that don’t want to join don’t have to… that is not how it works. Countries apply voluntarily!
@@PartisanGamerDE Ejecting free riders makes the alliance stronger, not weaker. It simply isn't fair at this point to ass drag on collective defense. Putin will be succeeded by another worse than he, if history is any lesson.
@@Lorenz1973 Don't be obtuse. Poltroon neutrality is provided by the sacrifice of first echelon nations, surrounding alliance members and USA's matériel support together with its nuclear umbrella and distance from Europe. It is we who will fight a nuclear conflict on NATO's behalf, it is we who will die in the hundreds of millions. I was in West Germany in 1985, where were you?
Estonia PM .. plz tell her somebody that Ukrainian dream to join NATO is just a notion … till the time Russia there Ukrainian not able to join NATO …
Putin vs the nazis
Is Russia also being invited to join NATO as well as Ukraine?
Is that not a good idea?
Russia 🇷🇺 did show interest years ago. Russia was not turned away. Russia was told that the application process is the same for everyone…but of course they did not want to follow that process. Russia felt they should just be able to join, without any application process, without anything really…. But that is not how it works for anyone. The process is the process. And NATO is NATO. Russia would have to adapt to NATO standards and rules…. If a country is unwilling to follow the process, they will not follow the standards and rules.
slap yourself and beg the kremlin for a turnip
@@Lorenz1973 I don’t think NATO is going to last much longer so it doesn’t really matter much.
@@kevinjewitt6347 Fortunately, what you think doesn't matter.
So far, NATO has been the Best Purely Defensive Alliance the World has ever seen. Not Perfect but still the Best.
@@RTmadnesstoo That was it’s role when it came into existence but it is no longer defensive.
If you think it still is you are deluded and history will show that.
Alternativ for Ukraine is nuclar
My only problem with Estonia advocating NATO as Ukraine's security solution is that NATO is already Estonia's security solution, the capacity and willingness of NATO nations to join a war because of a border incursion somewhere IS NOT LIMITLESS. Ukraine is not at peace, allowing Ukraine into NATO before it is properly at peace with ALL of its neighbours is the same as declaring war on them.
NATO isn't a magic bullet that can be applied to everywhere in Europe unless you are already prepared to start a war with russia tomorrow. Estonia is being naive and simplistic, assuming that NATO will simply step forward and defend all the countries that are coveted by russia - it is employing 'the prerogative of the harlot' - ie 'actions without responsibility'.
It is very difficult to be at piece with the neighbor when he is attacking you or preparing to attack.
People like u underestimate Russia that’s wat big mistake u people have done in last 2 years
Oh God save the Muslims of plastain.
Why would the US take on another military liability in Ukraine, like we did with the Balts? That was stupid enough. Kallas wants military protection but presides over a country without fighters or tanks. Wants the lives of US personnel to make up for their lack of effort and financial commitment. It costs a lot more than 2% of Estonian GDP to protect Estonia. They need to spend triple that first. And have more people under arms. Tiny military. Just a liability with a big mouth.
Looks to me that Estonia is above the NATO guideline spend based on %GDP.
The US is projecting power all over globe with or without someone asking, so stop your bickering and learn something.

Hey Teacher,
Wouldn't Ukraine NATO membership mean a nuclear holocaust?
No.
Nope.
No Ukraine should not be in nato
You are obviously yet another pro russian false propogandist with your comment here that does not stand up to any objective scrutiny whatsoever! Brent Collins.
Why not? Ukraine is currently protecting the West from Russia, it deserves to be in NATO, more than most members.
Too bad for you carlos you aint nobody for them to listen to your ass lmfao hahahahaha your just another keyboard warrior and why shoyldnt they join nato oh dont worry ill wait your fine with another country xoming to you and raping ur wife kids and killing them oh yea ur fine with that

Thank you for showing why NATO needs to protect as many countries as possible from Mordor. 😉
