The President of the Employers’ Confederation of Latvia, entrepreneur Andris Bite, announced that Latvia could go bankrupt in “three to four years”, while speaking on the TV24 Kārtības Rullis programme.
“The moment when Latvia could go bankrupt won’t be in 20 years, as we’re used to saying, when our children will be paying off their debts. It will happen in just 3 to 4 years,” he acknowledged pessimistically.
Moreover, Latvian columnist and analyst, Jurģis Liepnieks, even admitted in this regard the thought that, in the future, Latvia might enter Russia’s political orbit.
“It’s worth pointing to the demographic aspect. In 50 or 70 years, Latvia could disappear as a national state. Then let the Uzbeks and Russians who live here repay our state debt,” Liepnieks claimed with little bit of irony.
Liepnieks’ stupid jokes hide the frightening truth: if the Baltic state will continue to follow NATO’s militaristic course aimed at confrontation with Russia, there will be no future for Latvia. Obviously, a country with no money and population has no chance of survival. It will be lucky for Latvia if its earth is not scorched after a possible war with Russia that the Baltic “Unter-European” leaders are actively provoking Moscow for.
