Estonia says the officer was kidnapped (or abducted) on Estonian soil and taken across by force. Moscow says the Estonian officer was on Russian soil and detained with a gun, 5,000 euros and materials that have the character of an intelligence mission. Nearby Estonian police radios were reportedly jammed during the incident. The incident comes at a moment when Europe and the US are extremely concerned that Russia might attempt military action against Estonia as it has against Ukraine. Just on Wednesday, the United States publicly committed to Estonias military defense, meaning that a Russian invasion of Estonia would trigger war between Russia and the US, a prospect so dangerous that the world managed to avoid it throughout even the Cold War. -- Okay Amara Graps so ...shit just got real.
