  6.  @natakhomyakova6996  i'm sure Latvia, Poland, Lithuania and Estonia regret it too. Being occupied by the soviets instead of nazi Germany is not much of an improvement. The fact that these states are more hostile towards russia than Germany these days should tell you something...

  11.  @maatwarrior340  "Latvia will follow Ukraine's fate"? So russia plans to get stuck in Latvia too, until they go bankrupt and have to go home?
