  3. Russia's Baltic neighbours would be better off strengthening their intelligence and sovereignty and thereby becoming less dependant on an imperialist NATO.

  5. NATO instructors are so angry that they destroy themselves. According to a member of the Defense Committee, the F-16 was shot down by a Ukrainian Patriot missile.

  9. Why would Russia invade, it would be the end of Russian regime as we know it as the Baltics are in NATO. Arguably building metal fences is a waste of time to slow an army but very good at stopping immigration which is likely the real reason.

  10. USA destroyed Libya, killed Gaddafi. Destroyed Irak, killed Saddam Hussein. Russia is not the treat to the world. The world needs the likes of Donald Trump to maintain peace

  11. Germany was occupied by Russia as well, what is he talking about?? What is true, is that the baltic states are in more immediate danger because they are geographically closer to Russia.

  13. German Channel is telling Russians Occupiers, hope they forgot the past when they try to occupy entire Europe and is the main cause for the World War 1 and Word War 2, Shame on DW Channel taking about Russia.

  14. The lady said: “I don’t think Russia wants to attack Latvia, Latvia is of no interest to Russia”.I believe that says it all

  19. They behave like hostile neighbors and then they live in fear. How long do they want to live in fear? Russia is not going anywhere, they can't wish it away so what is left for them to do? Perhaps act like good neighbors? There is money to be made through trade with Russia, all they needed to do is be neutral and not join a hostile camp.

  21. All these countries just want to live in peace and have happy lives. Unfortunately they live next to a much larger neighbor that's trying to do their best 1933-1945 Germany impression.

  27. Border fence won't stop a tank. Better build an anti-tank ditch, minefields, mandatory military service for males & females.

  31. Without a fence between Russia and Latvia, the Russian spies would be hopping between countries like Kangaroos over a kid's fence.

  33. The boy has combat experience? RPG-7 is worse than "Javelin", but it was from RPG-7 that 15 Ukrainian soldiers shot at a column of Russian military equipment in March 2022 – over 17 units were destroyed in thirty minutes. "Dragon's teeth" are the simplest means of stopping armored vehicles + anti-tank mines.

  37. Germans are not real patriots, as Russians are as occupiers as in the Baltics, they are occupying Ostrpreussen, the cradle of Germany.
