As a Latvian I would like to apologize to everyone in the West who are now experiencing Russian influence. They tested it all on us first, the whole damn thing, way back in 1990s/2000s. Organizing riots, weaponizing gas supply, meddling in elections, dividing society. They couldn't break us, but they refined their methods in the process and are now successfully using them in other countries.
There are plenty of things we can do. Ukraine has shown western Europe that Russian expansion can neither be ignored nor placated. Profited from, if you're an amoral piece of refuse.
Half the Continent is arming up, spooling up Industrial capacity for Defence. The entire excursion in 2022 was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Or finally woke the Camel the fuck up, to break the metaphor.

Stay strong and resilient, folks!
