The reason I assumed you were a citizen of Estonia was due to this comment. This could of been interpreted a few ways.

If you wouldn't mind me asking just to clarify and because I'm genuinely curious.

Did you give up your U.S citizenship? Did/or Can you retain your US citizenship by being a resident of Estonia in lieu of a Citizen?? Or by being a resident does this force you to give up your US citizenship? Or do you need to become a Citizen of Estonia before they take your US Citizenship away?




If another global conflict erupts wouldn't you want to be on the side with 160 military bases around the world? The side which contains all the leverage?

I was stationed at Fort Carson where they have a top secret base inside a mountain called "Norad". I was sent inside their a few times on security detail and I would not want what is inside that mountain released on me or my friends.

Also your a millionaire as far as I know, In Estonia I imagine you live in a rich safe. neighborhood. This does not mean all the neighborhoods in Estonia are just as safe.

If you lived in a millionaire neighbor in New York, Dallas or Chicago I'd assume anyone would be safe walking home as well.


I am a US citizen and Estonian resident. The laws vary by country. For example, Estonia does not recognize dual citizenship if you chose to become a citizen there, but they don't force you to relinquish your US passport either. I know of no country that forces you to give up your existing citizenship in order to obtain theirs. But no matter what, you would never give up your current citizenship without first becoming citizen somewhere else You don't want to find yourself 'stateless'. This would be bad. I know many people who hold 2+ passports (citizenship) though.

As far as the global conflict goes, I would rather have been in Switzerland during the last global conflict (Iraq). They remained completely neutral and had no negative consequences from the war. I realize this is a touchy topic, so I will try to tread lightly, but I believe the actual presence of military in many of these countries CAUSES the conflict. How many military bases does Germany have in the US.....zero. How would you feel if UAE decided to buy land in FL and open a military base?

In Estonia, I live in the center of town in a small 75m^2 apartment. No need for extravagance. Actually, I may live in the most dangerous (relative) part of town as all the bars and clubs are in the center.
