Foreign Minister: Latvia will not sit "like a bunny under the Christmas tree"

78
Latvia will continue to strengthen internal and external security, it cannot be weak and wait on the sidelines until the “terrible wolf” leaves, Interfax reports the statement of the republic’s foreign minister Edgar Rinkevich.





Often we hear that Latvia should sit quietly on the sidelines - like a bunny under a Christmas tree, while a terrible wolf is roaming around. We have already done this once before, until we lost our country's independence for a while.

- the minister said at the foreign policy debate in the Sejm.

According to him, “in a global world, no country can face challenges alone — whether they will be linked to guaranteeing peace and security, combating terrorism, migration flows or climate change, and results can be achieved only in close mutual cooperation.”

Latvia’s foreign policy and voice every day and every step should be even more noticeable and heard in the world. Latvia cannot be weak in foreign and domestic policy.

- added Rinkevich.

The diplomat also said that this year, in addition to strengthening its security, Latvia “will contribute to the strengthening of a unified and secure European Union, support Latvian enterprises to help develop new export markets and attract foreign investment, as well as maintain close ties with the Latvian Diaspora.

          I remember laughing
          Only here, not the sheep of the wolves were allowed, but the rabbits.

          Today we will interview the sheep from the support group of the thirteenth herd:

          - Hello, great haircut!
          - Hello, thank you!
          - How do you feel about the construction of a meat factory?
          - It is perfectly! Our farm will now meet high European standards.
          - Have you heard that there is planned the production of lamb?
          - Nonsense!
          - Why not?
          “Just stupid things.”
          - But it’s called a "meat factory"


          - They will produce poultry meat.
          “Why not a poultry farm then?”
          - Well, what is there to understand? Because meat!
          “Have you seen their emblem yet?”
          - Yes, very successful.
          - They say that this is a stylized lamb.
          “Yes, very similar.”
          - They say that the carcass.
          - Nonsense, he just had a short haircut.
          “Have you heard about the bloodied sheep carrier?”
          - I even saw the pictures.
          - What do you think?
          - Maybe a jar of tomato juice burst or floor paint.
          “Doesn't it look like blood?”
          - No, very dark spots, the blood is brighter.
          - And if the examination shows that it is still blood?
          - So it was an accident.
          - What do you think about the execution of rams near the administration building?
          “This is the job of the bloody pigs we drove away!”
          “Why did the pigs shoot the rams?”
          - Because they are pigs.
          “What do you think about the wolves now managing the farm?”
          - Very welcome. Immediately felt more order.
          - Do not be afraid?
          - No, there are very few of them, if that - we will immediately drive them away like pigs.
          “Are you sure it was worth swapping pigs for wolves?”
          - Absolutely. When the pigs were very dirty, now it will be cleaner.
          “Have you heard that five experienced wolves from other forests will be taken to the farm?”
          - Yes, this is very good, their experience will probably come in handy.
          - What do you consider the most important thing for the farm today?
          - Safety. The main thing is to ensure safety from taiga bears.
          “Are you sure bears are dangerous?”
          “Absolutely, they threaten our farm.”
          “But they have a very big taiga, the bears eat fish and berries there.”
          “And they also feed on young lamb.”
          - Why did you decide so?
          - I saw pictures of torn lamb.
          “Why do you think the bears tore them apart?”
          - No one else.
          - And the wolves?
          “The wolves are here to clean up.”
          - And what can you say about the rumors about the thousands of sheep killed in the eastern field?
          - I saw photos - these are not rams, but.
          “But they look more like sheep.”
          - No, those that served the bears.
          - Tell me, maybe it's personal, do you have your own lamb?
          - Yes, of course.
          “Is he going to the east field?”
          - No, he already got a job at a meat factory.
          “Does he write to you?”
          - Not yet.
          - Probably recently settled down.
          - Yes, the second month of everything.
          - And how do you feel about the decision to have a haircut?
          - This is a very correct decision.
          - Doesn’t it bother you that the stitch is carried out at a meat factory?
          - No, they have special equipment there for this.
          - You will go?
          - Yes, I’m sure to make a haircut like their logo.
          - well! Thank you for the interview!
          - Please always contact.

        The fate of the hare is to sit under the tree, then he has a chance to survive. But if the hare imagines itself to be a tiger, which is ridiculous in itself, then the consequences for the hare are predictable. Especially if (we delve deeper and further in the analogy), the hare chooses his "friends" wolves and foxes, and not the eastern bear. Bears, by the way, do not hunt hares in nature. And vice versa, in all Russian fairy tales (folk tales, this is the mentality of the people), bears always defended hares. But if the hares turned into sheep, then let them not complain. Something like this, even with the example of children's fairy tales, it’s not known what they “think” in the Baltic states.

      Former Latvian Foreign Minister Janis Jurkans called on the republic’s authorities to “turn towards Russia,” because with the assumption of US President Donald Trump, in his opinion, relations between Washington and Moscow will begin to be built in a new way.

      “America will be with Russia, not against Russia, as it was during the time of Obama,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
      Yurkans called on "to turn towards Russia" and think about how to begin to restore economic relations between the two countries.

      He emphasized that “turning towards Russia [should be] quick and effective.”

      According to him, at the diplomatic level, it is time to start saying “without screaming, without noise”.

      Jurkans advocated that Latvia pursued a “duck policy” - “when on the surface it seems that it is not doing anything and very energetic work is going on under water”.

      He noted that "the ruling parties have such a will." “They will sit and watch, and only the last to do something,” concluded the ex-minister.

      I'm wondering wildly when rather a blue moth For many years he held the position of Secretary of State of Mo. that he did remarkable things for the "defense capability" of the country. I'm afraid to assume that it was there that he became a bunny

      For many years he represented the state in mo - and this is the result: no desire to develop, a decorative army in essence and content, permanently neutered funding, the complete absence of even hints of independence and "outcome" of all who had classical military training. So he is not a "bunny" - he is a bunny

        laughing My dear Israeli friend! Do you know what language the "Latvian arrows" spoke? Your (our) shooters were the real proletariat of the Latvian Soviet Republic, which was formed on December 22, 1918 and the population consisted of former citizens of the Republic of Ingushetia. Moreover, even after the fascist coup in 34, many documents were kept in Russian. This is today, after twenty years of independence, young people from the backwoods do not understand the Russian language, and then, the whole color of the state spoke Russian and German. And today, your real Latvia is under financial management of the IMF, half of the country's GDP is made up of the EU structural funds, half of the country's population has left in search of a better life, and Riga generates more than half of the country's income, today even much more than half.

      Unfortunately, the "Rinkevichs" in Latvia, and indeed in the Baltic states, are the vast majority. So it was from the time of the Union, so it was with the king. What are the Baltic "nations"? This is something that has arisen from scratch (a farm and a village), true with its local dialect and indefatigable conceit. Hypertrophied conceit is the destiny of all upstarts. Everything that they have got to them for free, and without difficulty, including the state, as it were, in the "inheritance" of the empire. Unlike the Russians, who for many hundreds (maybe thousands) of years, waged continuous bloody wars for a place in the sun and their state. Only in this way independence is earned, only then is true freedom valued. But where did the Baltic descendants of German slaves come from?

    Occupied by NATO forces, a subsidized economy at the expense of the EU, the population leaves the country, the absence of an army and navy ..

    ..................she cannot be weak and wait on the sidelines until the “terrible wolf.
    The "terrible wolf" for the time being, will breathe in the back of the head "bunny" and nothing will help him. They know that polite people will red-green pillars from the east side to the west.
    And now this whining is caressing the ear.

    Foreign Minister: Latvia will not sit "like a bunny under the Christmas tree"
    Well, the hare is not such a cowardly animal, unlike the Latvian Foreign Minister ... the hare is fighting for his freedom, and these Baltic states themselves have given themselves into slavery ...

    So after all, there is someone to learn from: you don’t want like a bunny, there is salvation - a squirrel. (recipe from anonymous Peter P.)

    Read:
    “The foreign policy and the voice of Latvia every day and at every step should be even more visible and heard in the world. In the foreign and domestic political sphere, Latvia cannot be weak, ”added Rinkevich.

    And he imagined a bunny who comes up to several wolves who intend to start a showdown, and declares: "In the foreign and domestic political sphere, a bunny cannot be weak. Everything is clear to everyone, wolves are shameful."
    What happened next? Next was the limitation of 18 +.

    “to support Latvian enterprises in order to help develop new export markets and attract foreign investment, as well as maintain close ties with the Latvian diaspora” - this is what they should focus on.
    According to Wikipedia:
    Latvia is one of the countries most affected by the 2008-2010 crisis. In 2009, Latvia's GDP fell by 17,8%, which was the worst indicator of GDP dynamics in the world. [1] [2] [3] However, in 2010, the decline in Latvian GDP was only 0,3%, and in 2011, GDP growth resumed. In 2012, the Latvian economy showed the highest quarterly and annual growth among EU countries.

    When the Balts begin to build something out of themselves, I recall a joke about a small but very proud bird. In this case, we are dealing with a small but very proud bunny of a bluish color.
