Like many congressional Republicans, Waltz has also criticized U.S. aid to Ukraine in its war against Russia. In an interview with NPR on Nov. 4, he said the U.S. had “leverage” to get Russian President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table to negotiate a “diplomatic resolution” to end the war.

Yeah, right, tRump is going to apply leverage to Putin to get him to negotiate. He has little leverage on Russia or Putin (rather its the other way around) and tRump certainly has no willingness to apply what leverage he might have. But he certainly can apply leverage to Zelensky (and will).

Then comes Moldova and maybe the rest of Georgia and northern Kazakhstan ...

Estonia, like the other Baltic countries (Lithuania, Latvia) is a NATO member. However, it's also on some near-term hit lists, and Russia did bomb the Kyiv residence of Estonia's ambassador to Ukraine.
