Percentage-wise Latvia had more % of population in SS than any other country including Germany so i think the "Latvian" part did played at least some role.
It's been pretty fun actually to watch Muricans declare Trump to be The Ultimate Devil but still spin like crazy when the Officially Demonised Countries decide to oppose what really is just usual US foreign politics but more ineptly and openly presented. Fortunately for them, russiagate comes to the rescue to fix their developing cognitive dissonance and they can still get back to their brunch, albeit with much complaining (i'm also waiting for the hilarious moment when they announce USA is apparently controlled by Iranian agents).
There is a poem in Polish, it goes in fast and dirty translation: "Today you scare us with communists, just as years ago, you scared our fathers with the democrat name".
Also this kinda remind me when nazis were collecting prepays for VW beetle, but then the party bosses stole it and the only thing that got produced were kubelwagens for the army.
the same way you’d probably use a CGTN source to say “even china admits it” or teleSUR to say “even Venezuela admits it” when criticizing either of them.
Nah, it's just China bad with infinite Zenz source loops.
definition of concentration camp to be a place where people of disrepute with the authoritarians in power are interred for various hideous purposes.
I mean that checks out. EU countries barely if even have any kind of democratic mandate, a lot of real power in EU is held by bureocrats with little or zero accountability to peoples of Europe, and i would say that kicking out the refugees asking for asylum back to countries which are devastated/exploited in large part by Europeans, and where they would most likely face at least crushing poverty and at worst oppresion by regimes (Syria is pretty huge case) is pretty fucking hideous.
They don't, US already put every possible sanctions on Russia and the only worsening of relation possible is if US start to shoot. And since that won't happen, it's empty words. Hell, they didn't even invited one side of the war for the ceasefire meeting, so who is even ceasing fire there with who? US and Ukraine? This is utterly nonsensical.
They need to have some success to put onto the table and show USA and EU they still can win. Regardless of this "win" being basically terror attack, USA and EU loves them anyway.
