@Linza It might come to that.

For Russia, it really won’t change much. The people have already been indoctronited since 2014 that Ukraine = NATO.

Albeit it’s a lie. And Russian lies are difficult to understand. I believe this is a ”Vranyo”: Everyone knows you’re lying but you do it anyway, and you know they know. So that would make us stupid because we didn’t know they were bluffing.

But you know who’d know? #ukrainians, #estonians #latvians #georgians.. Listen to them.

Latvia, a small country on the Baltic Sea with just over 1.8 million people, has recently passed a spate of laws to reduce Russia’s influence in the former Soviet nation.

Lawmakers hope the measures will deepen domestic cohesion against threats from Moscow. But some experts worry the laws could dangerously deepen fault lines between ethnic Latvians and the significant domestic minority of ethnic Russians.
