| OK, but it seems that positive decision is just a formality. This means that politically Finnish government wont oppose, so technical question left and with current technology I doubt that any problem could stop them.
Finland is 100% dependent from Russian gas, it would be naive to count on them. |

| Yep Finland is more Russia friendly and I admire it. It's an art to deal with Russia and Finland is doing OK mostly.
Estonians don't want this pipeline, because it wont do any good for us:
*We will not get any gas from it, but we will get Russian/Gazprom warships guarding it in our waters -> for protection against terrorism???
*Baltic Sea is full of mines and different chemical weapons-> great ecological danger -> we want to keep living here, we deserve clean sea.
*Putin and Schröder keep calling Baltic States and Poland to be "blindly anti-Russian" and "parasites". -> thats kinda insulting, why would you insult someone, whos aproval you need? Chauvinism?
*And of course all those political/economical sanctions + weekly accusing us suporting nazism and discriminating ethnic Russians.
We wont get any gas, but must risk with our water + let some kind of guarding forces in + sit still and eat dirt
But Europa needs energy, that a fact...
Estonia wants to see this pipe on land not under water. I'm almost sure that Finns will say same thing. And it's not against Nord Stream, but for our water, land and citizens. |

As a chancellor he was already heavily criticized in Poland and now when he is openly in Kremlin pocket he is not even a partner to discussion to us. He is so small that doesn't deserve a reply.  |

Has Russia proposed that it would guard the pipe on Estonian waters? If it's so, then it's quite clear that no-one would allow that. the idea of Russian/gazprom (military) ships patrolling in our waters is just impossible.
Well at least they are not showing good will http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/05/business/worldbusiness/05gazprom.html |

But still i haven't got any info that some foreign military organization would patrol on our area.
Russian president Vladimir Putin stated that the ecological safety of the pipeline project will be ensured by using the Baltic Fleet of Russian Navy. (wikipedia) First ecological saftey by Russian Navy, after that protection against terrorism by Gazproms army. I'm not saying it's the 100% scenario, but doesn't smell very good or does it? And it was not russofobic Estonia, but Sweden, who said that. Untill Gazprom and nice duo Putin-Schröder, starts to play polite with open hand, have we no quarantee that our waters will stay militarily only for our Navy And yesterday came an interesting testimony from Russian electricitynet (I think it's the right word) agent Marina Liborakina, who said that they have serious problems geting all gas they need from Gazprom. If Gazprom can't (or don't want to) supply their own, how can they quarantee to accomplish EU needs?(ok it's not a strong statement, but still). Energy is a massive weapon, we gotta remember that. |

I would not call Gazprom's militia a private one. Gazprom is state owned and so would be their militia. |

| Yeah well Gazprom is state owned... But as I see it, if Gazprom's guys do something wrong, Russians would say it has nothing to do with them. But they could use them against the Finns if needed (Germany and Poland, start of WWII). _________________ I <3 Wiki

| The fact that russian military will be guarding that pipe is the thing that most upsets me. One day one of those battleships will fire some cruise missiles or drop some people off and here we go again. |

| Another problem is that if Russia would build this new pipeline straight to Europe it would be very easy to cut off all the gas here if necessary. Right now all the gas pipes to Europe go through countries like the Baltic States, Ukraine, and other neighboring countries. If Russia in any reason would want to disallow Estonia to use their gas they were also forced to close the pipes to Europe. Imagine the huge amounts of money Russia would not gain. |

| Does anybody of estonians or what other nation knows,w hat happened in 1939? Bases...loss of independence...under the signs:"We protect you against German aggression!"
Couple of thousands Soviet soldiers...couple of thousand more...fake Parliament elections(1940)...occupation...
and do you think,that Estonians should ratificate such contracts any more!?
i think no!
If this pipe will become to be made,then the Russian ships will be allowed to sail in the Baltic sea,and who knows,when the "neutral ships" will be replaced by the war ships.
So,this pipe shouldn´t be built under or over the Baltic sea,because...that,who knows a history,knows why not!
Estonia,Latvia,Lithuania-these are independent countries and should to preserve their stance.
So,when there would be a pipe,then under the ground or under the sea,which belongs to another country! |
