Damn, I didn't know things are already that bad south of the Gulf. The portrayal of Estonia in our media has been much less pessimistic, at least compared to Latvia. What's essential is that you can become self-sustainable, since we're all going to crash sooner or later anyway and must find solutions on a national level, with no aid from abroad. I think you Estonians could survive on your own, with your coal, ag production potential in a temperate (soon to be optimal) climate, and very small population, couldn't you? Make wise choices now! Soomi kulgeb sama teeta Eesti peras (hope that makes sense to you)...
