Latvia big respect love from UK.🇬🇧
Respekts Lielbritānija 🇬🇧 no Latvijas 🇱🇻
Slava Latvijai un latviešiem
Jesus christ
God Bless The Baltic States!
THEY lived the HELL of WWII
Russian occupation
The Cold War
The Old Men of the Woods NEVER were defeated....
Finland and Sweden will stand with their southern brothers...
Stand with Ukraine...
NO PASARON!

The Latvian accent when speaking English sounds more American than British. Interesting...
Generational shift.
Quality of education system and schools in Latvia 🇱🇻
@@latviabalkanumuzika1514I love latvia.
I am glad Latvia 🇱🇻 is stepping up. Maybe it will only be a bump in the road.
However when the first American soldiers arrived in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 they believed they were just a bump in the road.
The longer Latvia can be a bump, the more time they buy for the rest of NATO to assemble. Especially since America 🇺🇸 has to ship almost everything.
Stand strong Latvia 🇱🇻. You are more important than you may think.
It's going to take much less time for other NATO forces to get to their side due to the changes in NATO preparedness since the invasion.
@@craigfinnegan8534 true.
@@josephpoitras3090 Russia is the only eastern European country that qualifies as stupid these days. Small countries like Latvia know that the only reason to train such small forces to defend against a Russian invasion is to buy time for NATO allies to show up. And they know that the time it takes their allies to do so is getting shorter, as member country's defense budgets quickly are getting bigger.
Lot of Latvians is joining in professional force- and Latvian special force is outstanding- there is no chance any Rashist will advance - there is no chance any 2 legged bastard will survive stepping in our country 🇱🇻👍
Everyone speaks English like a native.... Great! Computer voice was awful.

"PANAMA RELOCATION TOURS!! WITH JACKIE!!😊🙋👍❤️👈"
What is interesting is the Russian army has been so severely degraded the need to build up forces is probably unnecessary.

If you persist in labeling your content ‘Ukraine War’, we will discontinue using you as content. It is not Ukraine’s War, its Russia’s War. If you must call it something, be factual and remind people it’s “Russian Invasion”
Yes, it is the Russian War Upon Ukraine just as it was the American War Upon Vietnam and The Southern States War Upon The Unites States Of America. :)
Actually, it is the United States' war,
and it always has been.
@@janettemasiello5560 it is Russian imperial aggression. Putin is just upset that Russian empire is waning.
@ayoungethan
You must live in Opposite World.
0The US & their Nato vassel states are maybe 40 countries out of the 195 on earth.
Learn about the BRICS countries
& SCO
The majority stand with Russia,
or rather against the US and their global bullying
and are making alliances both militarily and economically.
It is the US Dollar and Hegemony that is declining.
@ayoungethan
Furthermore it is the US & nato
who have been amassing troops and weapons near Russia's border,
have 40 plus biolab's in Ukraine.
have been funding & arming Ukrainian military and Azov nazis who had been persecuting Eastern ethnic Russian people since the
US backed illegal government Coup in 2014.
It is the US and nato who Reneged on the Minsk agreements . Twice. This has been a long time coming and it would do you well to learn the history and the truth behind what's going on.
It's so sad to see this us little friend follow everything that US says blindly
How is training to defend your country blindly following anything but your instincts for self-preservation?
FAHRT!
Sad to see Putin's twisted relationship with reality living rent free in your mind
if latvia finds itself actually at war it would be a short war. they should push for peace...
Peace is possible only when Russia is defeated.
@@JohnHenryEden2277 sounds almost like an epitaph man.
Latvia's a NATO member. They're training to hold off a Russian attack until over a dozen other countries send in troops and heavy weapons to fight alongside them. And thanks to your shithead of a leader, it won't take those countries very long to get there.
That's what they said about Ukraine. Lukashenko said "3-4 days" before Ukraine falls.
@@DonaldBiden420 and if we hadnt poured so much money and resources upon them? it would have. also lukashenko isnt a member of the russian staff...
