Live fire exercises in Estonia - Russia can't be too pleased about that and I doubt that Russia feels it has to take orders from NATO. NATO seems must feel pretty big for their britches to be telling Russia not to perform exercises on their own territory..................

this article appearing in the Guardian.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/13/nato-chief-in-warning-over-russian-wargames

Of course you have to consider the alliance between the UK and NATO. I'm not going to waste my time waiting for our lame MSM to report this confrontational move by NATO.

from the article
Russia has dramatically increased the number of military flights over the Baltic region, leading to Nato’s stepping up air patrols over the Baltic states – Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. On Thursday, it was reported that Russia had launched a new “live fire” wargame involving the Baltic fleet and paratroopers.

It seems the situation is tense

having a date of 13 March. It also sounds like it's the pot calling the kettle black - NATO is also conducting LIVE FIRE exercises on Russia's borders....

Again, keep in mind reading these reports that NATO consists of 28 countries. The countries that are most Russophobic (+ UK, Britain, and Norway) are the ones that these reports are about.
