Truly, they are crazy.
Normally I'd agree. But for Latvia this is more about securing themselves from a resurgent Russia than it is about their love for Brussels.

Securing themselves from a re-emergent Russia is a very real motivation for them, seeing how they were "incorporated" into the Soviet Union initially.

Fairly certain though that the rest of Europe wouldn't do much more to help the Baltics if the Russians marched in tomorrow than when the Russians did the exact same thing in 1940.

More like it'd be the Yanks doing all the works while most of the others whistled Dixie as usual.

Yay. Let me guess, another money-drainer. Doubt they will become a net-payer.
