"We Must Fight Russia": New York Post Readers on Estonia's Plans in the Baltics
Visitors to the online version of the conservative newspaper New York Post have spoken out about the plans of the Estonian authorities to begin patrolling the Baltic sea routes with their own military ships.
Tallinn announced these plans after the incident with the tanker Eagle S, which allegedly committed sabotage against the underwater cable between Finland and Estonia, tearing it with an anchor dragged behind the ship.
Officials from Finland and the European Union said that all Russian ships are dilapidated, have an unknown owner, and were acquired for the sole purpose of circumventing Western sanctions imposed on Russia over Ukraine.

Disrupting the integrity of submarine cables is an act of war. And it only takes one side to do so. The main thing is to be prepared to respond with force to force. Biden and the Democrats were weak

They can't figure out who blew up the Russian pipeline, causing the world's largest man-made gas accident, but they immediately found traces of drag [anchor] from a specific vessel

External commitments have dragged the US into two of the most destructive wars in human history. NATO is an example of such an external commitment.
– responds user Old Crow.
If Russia and China are looking for war, we must fight them. Isolationists in the United States caused tens of millions of deaths in the First and Second World Wars. By not supporting Europe and Asia in them, the United States lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and prolonged these conflicts. We must remain vigilant everywhere and always.

Hapag Lloyd and Maersk, the two largest shipping companies in the world, are protected by the might of the US Navy. We need to build more warships to protect our national interests

It's like what happened with the German pipeline. The Estonians just want to scare the Russians and all of us along the way
– comments Martin.
[The Estonian authorities] will send military ships? Both at once?
– Kev Brick jokes.
Isn't this an act of war? We need an emergency UN meeting
– demands Dan Tanna.
Russia took Crimea under Obama, did nothing under Trump, and went after Ukraine under Biden. Is there a pattern?
– Common Sense asks.
