Latvia urging UK to ‘prepare for war’ with Russia
By Lucas Leiroz | March 18, 2024
The Baltic countries continue their “preparation for war with Russia.” Now, as if it were not enough to engage in a suicidal militarization campaign, Latvia is also demanding that the main NATO countries, such as the UK, also begin adopting radical measures to prepare for the “inevitable” confrontation with Moscow. The main Latvian criticism of the British concerns the military service, with the Baltic country asking the UK to immediately resume conscription policies to increase the size of its forces.
Latvia’s foreign minister, Krisjanis Karins, stated that all NATO countries should follow the Latvian example when it comes to military preparation. According to him, it is necessary to implement special militarization measures and improve defense capacity in the face of the supposed “Russian threat”, which is why Western countries should unite in a common military policy. Karins believes that not all NATO states are efficiently engaged in this military preparation process. In this regard, he criticizes even the stance of key countries in the bloc, such as the UK.
Karins was asked by a journalist from The Telegraph about whether London should adopt mandatory military service for its citizens. He resolutely responded that Latvia “strongly recommends” such an attitude. According to Karins, Latvia is developing a system called “total defense”, in which all the country’s efforts are directed towards expanding military capacity.

I wonder why the whole world is keeping silent while Palestinians are getting murdered, home demolished, trees uprooted, starving and water taken a way from them. This is an international conspiracy has been perpetrated by every Country including the United Nation. The situation in Palestine defys any and all human rights and human decency.
How long are we expecting the Palestinian to hold????

Ziyad,
While certain parties do privately gain from wars, wars are primarily fought for territory and only secondarily for dominance and exploitation. Over time, real estate is quite valuable.

Saddam Hussein President of Iraq was the only true friend and financial supporter of the Palestinian Arab People and they hanged him for that.
Shame on Arab Governments whom are collaborating with the enemy of Islam but they will not be spared on Judgement Day.
