So instead of two combat cyclists, will there be three combat cyclists? How do we survive this?

It's funny, because after 4 meters the west of their country is already starting, and where will they strengthen it?

[Woodman]

It’s just that from one farm in the west of the country they will go to the next 15 minutes walk and, bam, they are already in the east of the country!

These two hard workers will strengthen! Terrible, armed aircraft!

[Tatyana]

From the text of the article
The new government intends to strengthen state defense, gradually increasing funding for this area - in 2017 to 1,7% of GDP, in 2018 to 2%

First of all. This is a US requirement for NATO member countries. At the same time, it wants, does not want, maybe Latvia cannot pay for its participation in NATO, but Washington still forcibly squeezes money out of it for military spending. Now according to the norm, they will increase to 2% of GDP, and then the norm for Latvia will simply do more.
And secondly,

the government is going to improve the self-defense capabilities of Latvia ... and increase the presence of the army ... on the border with Russia and Belarus

which means that the provocateur Washington is pushing Latvia into a war with Russia and Belarus. And if not Latvia itself with its armed forces, then Latvia with its territory as a springboard for an attack on Russia and Belarus.

[Pirogov]

Tatyana You made very correct conclusions.

[mojohed2012]

These are not airplanes or tough aircraft, but unmanned aircraft. The pilots' nerves were removed and they are thrown from helicopters onto the heads of the Airborne Forces with shouts of "banzai".

[vlad66]

Damn, but they were going to build a fence? No, they could not hold Russia without a fence, even with an increased army.

Laughter, laughter, but the anti-Russian military hysteria in the Baltics is off scale. Such territorial militias in the form of the Home Guard and the "young friends of the border guards" Yaunsargs are not for good. Of course, their real combat capability is awful, but, as punishers and police officers, in the occupied territories during the Great Patriotic War, such formations showed themselves "worthily". The Latvians, it seems, are going to the convoy of NATO troops, to enter the territory of Russia and there, as part of some newly-minted Aizanzgruppen, to do what they love - murder and robbery.
God forbid, if I am mistaken ..

[Aleksandr72]

In order for the Balts to once again successfully perform in their usual historical role of punishers, they need something to "punish". And for this you need just a little - for someone to defeat the worst enemy - neighboring Russia and invite them - the pre-Balts to work as executioners and overseers in security battalions and similar ersatz-Einsatzgruppen. In the meantime, the point is, the Balts have taken on the "noble" role of a mongrel - snatching Russia and playing with "muscles" (already ridiculous!), Provoking it into a conflict in every possible way, in order to get the legal right to yell hysterically "Russians are coming !!!" and cry for help from NATO. D.b.ly - they themselves are trying to make the next Balkans from their Baltic states with their own hands (remember: shots in Sarajevo).
I have the honor.

... only not in Latgale .. I answered above .. this is a kind of Donbass in Latvia ...

[mojohed2012]

Green people are already creeping into Latgale, and the Latvian anti-green man special forces have not been able to complete the weekly command post exercises in the nearest line for two years now.

[Dam]

For that disciplined. Work well in labor camps

[Thrall]

And the tank that they lent to the Estonians, have already given back?))

[Dam]

They wait until the roads dry out, it’s hard for horses to drag, the tank is still

[mojohed2012]

The roads dried up, they drove the horses, but the coachman, as luck would have it, the Russian, got drunk again. And their Latvians - they scratch their turnips, but for what to catch a tanchik? And they tied the bow with a bow and a sea knot, the horse does not pull and that's it. And to ask - no, they are aggressors.

[mojohed2012]

This is t-xnumx by the way.
If they strengthen the Latvian army, then it is possible to develop plans - how to bite off everything from the Russians to the Urals ....
Yes, they, by the way, are not by NATO standards, have already tortured. Poor tank. And his Soviet caterpillars cry and resist the slobbery Latvian handles of the mechwater, giving record efforts to the control levers.
Poor-poor tank.

[izya top]

and how much will increase? where to hide?

[barclay]

In the east of Latvia - it’s very good-looking talek-ko-o!
Let them better camouflage so that Russian tanks would not notice anyone and pass by.

Platoon of soldiers?

This is strong .....

The border has already been erected, the fly will not fly.

The bigger, the better. Faster navel from excessive loads will untie.

In terms of raising the military budget, it is easier for them than, for example, Poland or Hungary. Raised the salary of military personnel by 20%. Here's the military budget for you and has grown to 2% of GDP.

[Thrall]

bought a box of cartridges - mastered the military budget by 2%))

[Wedmak]

I still don’t understand, from what or from whom is Latvia going to defend itself? Yes, and Yaunsargov (sounds scary, inspires) expands. From Russia or what? So we are not going to attack: a) what did we forget there? b) if they had gathered, the Latvian army would not have lasted even a week.
The worst thing that threatens the Baltic countries is the reduction in the number of sprats.

[iouris]

You can skip LAN to the east of the Russian Federation.

[iouris]

You can skip the Latvian armed forces to the east of the Russian Federation. And forget it.

[The black]

Among the Latvian students, I didn’t meet any particularly ardent supporters of not only the idea of ​​substituting their ... backs ... under Russian bullets, but generally the desire to go to serve in the army

[Wajra-3]

I would recommend finding a parade of Latvian troops on the Internet. Nothing more will need to be said and discussed.

With the Latvian Hitler Jugend it is powerfully conceived, we can only tremble.

[salad]

A anti-tank moat as in Ukropetekia will ?? and the fence?

[Wedmak]

Banks with expired sprats will be placed along the entire border. Reacts even to sneezes. And in general, a terrible chemical-biological weapon. You did not know about him? Here! Secrecy!

[bikeev1234]

Another hysteria of our "friends" Labus. How long can you tolerate it

[Bulrumeb]

Latvia intends to strengthen military training in the troops and increase their presence in the east of the country

Will they send closer to the border another three to five people and a rubber boat attached to them?

[PatriotKZ]

They made fun of "increasing the number of military personnel in the west of the country." They will hold out for exactly 5 minutes and it will take that time for the Russian soldier to laugh.

[polite people]

Something lately everyone has been joking. This is what is happening. Or they really have their heads completely repulsed by such ideas.

[Dezinto]

Or they really have their heads completely repulsed by such ideas.

Ordinary people do not.

Politicians have been completely hacked! The Pentagon imported equipment all spring! She hasn’t gone anywhere! All the guys work out their nezalezhnosti. And they invent aggression from there - from where it does not exist. Just like in one familiar country.

Amusing a little. Do not forget how these rid..dki burned peaceful villages as part of the Sonderkommand during the Second World War.

[GEV67]

Probably all this is very funny, if it were not so sad. All these movements lead only to one thing, to a future war. And all these Europid climbers and it doesn’t matter what kind of fighters they are, the main thing is that these idiots will be manipulated by the Pind_ scoundrels.

[iouris]

The war is on. It never stops. Those who are "waiting for the start of the war" have already lost half.

[Alex ..]

Shaw all two tanks ??

[MMX]

In fact, the news is with a plus sign, because the growth of military spending is an additional burden on Latvia, which is already half-hearted. And let them drive themselves with tales about imminent aggression from the East, the Latvian economy will not become stronger from this ...

[LÄRZ]

Have you got defense money? Not otherwise sprats boiled up for someone. The only thing left is small: the submarine fleet, its own air force, etc. Sprats in your hands!

[valentina-makanalina]

For such a "huge" country, it doesn't matter where its army is.
Even if they build at least one line on the border, they still will not notice it.

[Stinger]

And we have them through Sweden! Naturally, after a nuclear strike. The boats, though not found, but they are there! Are waiting. Although, judging by the hysteria, there is nothing to do. NATO will finish them with their own hands, if not by escalating fear, then by rent for membership in their valiant ranks.

[HUMAN OWNER 1]

And why are they in desert camouflage, or is it the Americans who delivered it to them again :-)

[triglav]

Valiant Latvian troops ...

[afrikanez]

Here are the duroshlep, they need to snuggle up to the Baltic, so that they would fall in time, if that. And they, on the contrary, are clinging to Russia, suicides.

[tacet]

And what is the% of Russians in the NSV?

[Siberia 9444]

Along the way to Siberia they will go with such a powerful army, and in front of Dahl or from behind, she knows how best

[Dimon19661]

Latvia is where?

[cap]

"The government has not forgotten about young citizens: increased attention will be paid to their education in the military sphere, and the movement of Jaunsargs (young defenders) will be expanded."

Young defenders can do a lot, but the Reich followers can lead to the same results as in the past. The Americans forced to raise their hands, now give a chance to take revenge. Revanchism is now more fashionable in Europe than ever.
I wonder who of the Bundeswehr leadership recognizes his grandfather in his youth?

Please do not tell me my shoes !!!

Yes, in desert camouflage, the guys will look great on the eastern borders. Or is it they are sent to the Middle East for the interests of the black ruler to die (new colonial troops)?

[hghg]

I don’t understand the meaning. Their army (in the region) can only compete with the Lithuanian.
