Flashpoint Latvia

[Josquius]

I saw in a recent poll that only the LibDem voters would really support helping the Baltic countries against the Russians. All the other voters would be ambivalent or against.

Were I in charge of the Baltic countries, I'd invest a bit in PR to push a "we're like you" narrative in big NATO countries (i.e. Germany, France, US, UK).

Europe in general could use that pointed the UKs way

I always assume that, when he says something that I don't find funny, it is my fault.

You're kind, but I accept full responsibility for lame posts.

It's high time some Latvians perform in Britain Got Talent. Alternatively Duchess Kate or whatshername should start wearing Latvian designer clothes. You know, focus on important issues people care about, and reach out to them that way.

[Martinus]

Yeah, I was thinking recently that we are long overdue for another act of Putin's play. I would imagine he'd wait until Marine LePen is the President of France.

I also agree that The Brain is the most consistently and intelligently funny poster here.

[Eddie Teach]

I see that qualifier! Does that mean you agree that Siege is the funniest poster overall?

Brain is a thinking man's Siege? 

[Razgovory]

Sometimes?

I should try that.  Every time Brain says something that isn't funny, it's Grumbler's fault.

[Valmy]

I somehow doubt a world war will start in some country in Eastern Europe few have even heard of.

Better watch it or Berkut will pull out a high school geography book.

Way to ruin a great joke by being a whiny bitch.

[Valmy]

You know what, fuck you guys. 
The Baltic States had the balls to break from Moscow in the first place--on their own, no less--and they have the right to be defended BY THEIR TREATY-BOUND ALLIES if Moscow tries to fuck with them again.


Fucking assholes.  Moscow, too.

This +1

[Jacob]

Yup, I agree with CdM, Viper, and Valmy on this.

[celedhring]

No objection. Spain will put forward our creaky, munition-less, and fuel-less Hornets for NATO's service.

[Grinning_Colossus]

I never said we *shouldn't* help them if they're invaded, no matter how much they may have it coming.

[Valmy]

No objection. Spain will put forward our creaky, munition-less, and fuel-less Hornets for NATO's service.

Still probably a match for whatever shit the Russians have.

[Martinus]

I agree with CdM and the rest of the hawks.

[Grey Fox]

While I agree with the gallery & we all should honour of Nato commitment to the Baltic States.

Other States have to start spending money too, not just the USA.

& especially Germany.
