Here we go, this doesn't sound great.
When you start seeing pink backpack spetznaz, you know its too late.
in all seriousness tho, this is a bad thing right?
[QUOTE]Latvia is a member of [B]NATO, European Union, [/B]United Nations, Council of Europe, CBSS, IMF, NB8, NIB, OSCE, WTO and OECD. [/QUOTE] To what extend are the Russians at it? The picture posted and in the article is clearly from Ukraine, so do they have dudes there, or just kind of like, a union you can join to circlejerk over Putin pictures with likeminded individuals in?
[QUOTE=frozensoda;44341888]in all seriousness tho, this is a bad thing right?[/QUOTE] Nah, we will just have Russia sign a contract saying that they won't invade any more countries. I'm sure it will all work out.
So, i just got the shock of my life. I guess it's time to bear arms. Also those "genetics" that need preserving ? I think 145 million in mainland Russia is pretty fucking PRESERVED ! Don't you THINK ?!
Just outlaw them for being a paramilitary organization that is unwanted. Russia says a fucking word, Article 5.

I hope that NATO just sends troops to Latvia if they try something like this. Just arrest the 'self-defense' forces and lock them up. Seriously Russia, fuck off. Edit: I could somewhat agree with the Crimea returning to Russia but the way it happened is fucking horrible, even more with the rumors coming out of there.
Russia, please just stop.
[QUOTE=Valiantttt;44342092]I hope that NATO just sends troops to Latvia if they try something like this. Just arrest the 'self-defense' forces and lock them up.[/QUOTE] Good luck with that. That'd just give Putin more ammunition to intervene. Only thing I imagine working are crippling sanctions, but again that might make it worse.
[QUOTE=Incoming.;44342130]Good luck with that. That'd just give Putin more ammunition to intervene.[/QUOTE] Seriously though, I doubt he would be that insane. He knows that the West would absolutely CRUSH russia in a normal war. I do not think that China would even help them. I know it is bad to compare Putin to Hitler but it seems to follow a similar patern.
[QUOTE=Incoming.;44342130]Good luck with that. That'd just give Putin more ammunition to intervene.

[QUOTE=Turing;44342150]yeah, if they arrest them or lock them up putin can claim that ethnic russians are being persecuted and invade[/QUOTE] What if they are just deported? Nothing violent, just sent back to Russia if they identify as ethnic Russian . I know that sounds bad, but in the end there will be no ethnic Russians left there to protect. What I mean is, "Decide right here and now, are you Russian or are you Latvian." That's why I love the US, no matter where you came from You're an American now.
Let's not be super-unfair here. Latvia has a pretty huge Russian minority of 550.000 Russians, or about 27% of the population. Given the recent events of Russian minority having luck in landgrabbing themselves to Russia, it's not entirely unreasonable for them to give a shot, [I]from their point of view.[/I]

How come no legitimate news agencies have reported on this? This just sounds like a small group of ethnic Russians calling themselves Rusintern are parading around.

[QUOTE=DaysBefore;44342225]*Unless you're Mexican[/QUOTE] Well, I don't know about the rest of the country, but if you're a US citizen you're an American in my book. (unless you meant illegal aliens, that's a different subject for another time)
Won't happen. Unlike Ukrainians and Russians who live in Crimea, Latvians are much more negative towards Russia, they won't back down.

What if they were born and raised there, but under Russian culture and language? By your standards, they're Latvians and there's no issue at all here.
I haven't seen this on Latvian news sources so I'm not sure about this. edit: Turing you spelled Latvia wrong >:(

I'm gonna sit and wait for a bit
[QUOTE=strazyyy;44342386]I haven't seen this on Latvian news sources so I'm not sure about this.[/QUOTE] This is why I hate journalism as opposed to reading a history book. A history book has had time to know which events and things are significant and worth mentioning while journalism will spit out and put the spotlight on even the most insignificant, useless things. Won't know if this is important until some time from now.

[B]By your standards, they're Latvians[/B] and there's no issue at all here.[/QUOTE] Yes. and I didn't mean to imply they were illegal, I was talking about what the other guy said about Mexican Americans. If they were born in Latvia, and have lived in Latvia all their lives paying Latvian taxes and using Latvian public services, in what way are they Russian?
Moving onto NATO territory is ballsy (yet stupid) as fuck, even for Putin. How can any nation at all justify a foreign policy based on "genetic preservation", it's ridiculous in the 21st century.
