Donald Trump deployed B-52H bombers near the Russian border, flying over Estonia as the country celebrated its Independence Day. This mission, which included F-35 and F/A-18 fighters, marks a show of strength amid concerns about Russian military intentions. The flight comes as Estonia's intelligence service reports that Russia plans to nearly double its military presence along the Baltic borders. This increase could involve more personnel and equipment, raising security concerns in the region. The U.S. mission is part of ongoing efforts to reassure NATO allies about their security. It follows claims from European politicians about potential U.S. disengagement from European defense commitments.
