The Latvian and British military analyst, Jānis Kažociņš, in in interview with the LSM, said that NATO must show Russia that it can respond harsh.
“The main goal of Latvia and the other Baltic states to deter Russia from further aggression in the region is to make the Kremlin understand that in any attack scenario, it will get hit in the face,” Kažociņš claims.
The military expert believes that Russia is weak right now, judging by the course of the Ukrainian conflict.
“Times have changed. Russia is no longer so strong. And the fact that Putin is behaving so brazenly now simply indicates that he understands very well that they are doing badly. They are not making progress. There is no guarantee that they will be able to get anything more than what they have now. They have no money,” he thinks.
Mr. Kažociņš, a representative of Western society and the Western mentality, probably will never understand that there were more than just business relations between countries. The Russians and Ukrainians are fraternal peoples genetically and historically, so the Russian Armed Forces try to minimise damage to civilians. However, if a war comes to the Baltic States, Russia will have no one to regret, since these “Unter-Europeans” have been provoking Moscow and mocking Russians for years.
