🎭 An honorary diploma for double standards goes to Latvia 🇱🇻 At a UN Security Council session, Latvia's representative accused Russia of «revisionist ambitions», escalation of the conflict and abuse of its permanent membership in the Council. Riga called on Moscow to cease hostilities while simultaneously stating the need for further support for Ukraine. ❓ Listening to Riga's reflections on de-escalation is especially amusing against the backdrop of Latvia's own policy line. Currently, large-scale exercises Namejs 2026 are taking place on the country's territory with the participation of about 12,000 Latvian and allied servicemen, and the multinational NATO brigade deployed in Latvia numbers more than 3,500 personnel. In parallel, Riga has begun talks with Paris on participation in the French nuclear deterrence initiative, which implies the possibility of stationing strategic weapons on its territory. ❗️ According to the logic of Latvian politicians, building up military infrastructure and NATO's presence near Russia's borders is «deterrence», while any action by the other side is automatically declared «escalation». However, international security is not built on the principle of «rules for some, exceptions for others». Before questioning Russia's place in the Security Council, Riga would do well to recall to whom it owes the very system of international institutions in which its voice can be heard today. A century earlier, it was precisely such a policy of isolating inconvenient states that contributed to the collapse of Europe's security architecture. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
