  1. 1. That’s rad that they can pull the bridge like that.

    2. I think everyone involved knows that isn’t going to stop or even slow anyone down if they come. Just symbolic

  2. Pointless and shortsighted.

    In case of a war against NATO that’s never going to come, it will do virtually nothing and in any case, that bridge could still easily being demolished when it’s time to do so, if not even used by NATO forces.

    In case of major change in Russia, and us eventually welcoming them back to the international community, you now need to build that bridge again.

    Are there some elections in Latvia soon, and some politician needing some easy brownie points?

  3. The poor Latvian filming this who is now on the wrong side of the border with bridge to cross back.

  4. I am guessing the main point is to discourage Russian men from crossing the border illegally to claim refugee status when Putin’s next round of mobilization is announced.

    Latvia has a small population and cannot absorb millions of Russians or even thousands.

    When Putin starts forcing 18 year old boys to enlist and die in Ukraine, It will cause a panic. Latvia doesn’t want or need most of the Russians that escaped there after the last mobilization.

    Latvia can tear out all the bridges.
