Estonia’s Prime Minister, Kaja Kallas, has told the BBC that Russia’s Vladimir Putin is “afraid” of a war with Nato.

The leader of Estonia, which borders Russia, warned that while Putin is good at “sowing fear”, his threats must also be taken seriously.

Ms Kallas added that Nato countries do not want to go to war with Russia either.

She has previously called on European countries to bolster support for Ukraine, warning that war could expand “very fast in Europe, so no country is left untouched” if Vladimir Putin wins.

      Dude, that was just an example she made. There are so many fears he controlled in the last 10 years. How many microtargeted messages over facebook did putins trollfactories and Cambridge Analytica transmissioned? You have to understand that it goes down to the fears of single persons. Someone is afraid of foreigners and immigrants, there was a playbook and memes for these people. You have the fear of economical outlook, there was a folder with images to post for that. Your fear is democrats in the white house? Fear of black people looting cities? Caravans at the border? Socialists in the Government? President takes away your guns? Homosexuals? Nuclear War? There was a playbook do target all these people to cook a vast part of the society crazy and made them afraid of their own fears coming true - even if reality was not like that and they were concerted fed confirmation bias by anecdotal evidence, but amplified.
