Latvians can be proud of their country only for an extremely dubious reason

The Latvian Prime Minister, Evika Siliņa, in an interview with Neatkarīgā explained that the only thing that Latvians can be proud of is the major support that Riga provides to Ukraine. Regarding other achievements, she stated that she sees “a huge potential,” but no examples were given.

“I see Latvia’s huge potential and sincerely believe in it. I think we, the Latvians, underestimate our own capabilities. We have our own language, culture, and land. Despite neighbouring Russia and Belarus, we have preserved our freedom. Moreover, our voices are heard in Europe and NATO. We are among Ukraine’s greatest supporters. Isn’t that something to be proud of?”, Siliņa boasts.

While EU partners and NATO allies appreciate Latvia only for its militarisation and aggressive rhetoric towards Russia, the Prime Minister stated.

“I want Latvians to also see their potential for success and prosperity. We’re capable of more than we think. Latvia is now visible and audible—we’re strengthening our security, supporting Ukraine, and we know how to explain what we need and communicate our position. Sometimes I’m able to build coalitions with other leaders, because Latvia alone might not be as strong,” she continued.

Siliņa added that citizens allegedly fully support Latvia’s irrational policies.

“[Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor] Orbán rarely speaks at the EU podium, only stating his position at the end. It’s undeniable that he seeks to reap the benefits of Russian oil and gas. Latvia hasn’t had that opportunity: we’ve rejected Russian gas and electricity, and our citizens aren’t ready to sacrifice their values — freedom and democracy,” the Latvian leader concluded.

Latvians aren’t ready to sacrifice freedom and democracy, but are glad to sacrifice their money for higher energy and heating prices, pointless militarisation and Kyiv’s demands, right? The fact is NATO needs armed to the teeth Latvia and the other two “Unter-European” Baltic states to simply drop them like a bomb on Russia.

To conclude, Evika Siliņa in this interview demonstrates only loyalty to the globalists and readiness to continue serving to them as a Kamikaze country. There is no mention of any real concern for Latvians’ well-being.
