Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Iives (or someone pretending to be him) is sure mad at Paul Krugman tonight for his recent "Estonian Rhapsody":

Let's sh*t on East Europeans: their English is bad, won't respond & actually do what they've agreed to & reelect govts that are responsible. — toomas hendrik ilves (@IlvesToomas) June 6, 2012

But yes, what do we know? We're just dumb & silly East Europeans. Unenlightened. Someday we too will understand. Nostra culpa. — toomas hendrik ilves (@IlvesToomas) June 6, 2012

Guess a Nobel in trade means you can pontificate on fiscal matters & declare my country a "wasteland". Must be a Princeton vs Columbia thing — toomas hendrik ilves (@IlvesToomas) June 6, 2012

Let's write about something we know nothing about & be smug, overbearing & patronizing: after all, they're just wogs: krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/06/est… — toomas hendrik ilves (@IlvesToomas) June 6, 2012

We reached out to the President's office to check its him, and will update if they get back to us, but given a link on his clearly official Facebook page we assume it is, or at least was at some point. Other evidence: an article on his official site also refers to his Twitter followers and this is the only account with any tweets, and Sweden's Carl Bildt follows him.

The "Princeton vs. Columbia" thing is a reference to Iives own education in New York City, by the way.

UPDATE: The President's office have confirmed it was Iives. Full statement from Iives himself:

"Yes I send my own tweets. It was a sincere and immediate defense of the major and often difficult efforts of Estonia to deal with the economic crisis and to stick to the rules adopted in the European Union."

An Estonian reader also wrote to inform us the comments were causing "a big political mess".
