It's difficult not to notice this mentality when you see people at Trump rallies wearing shits advocating the hanging of Journalists.
>With a fractured EU, and weakened NATO, Putin, facing an ongoing economic and social crisis in Russia, needs another foreign distraction around which to rally his people. He funds far right anti-EU activists in Latvia, who then create a reason for an uprising of the Russian Latvians in the East of the country (the EU border with Russia). Russia sends "peace keeping forces" and "aid lorries" into Latvia, as it did in Georgia, and in Ukraine. He cedes Eastern Latvia as he did Eastern Ukraine (Crimea has the same population as Latvia, by the way).
I found it interesting that Estonian Prime Minister Taavi Roivas lost a parliamentary vote of no confidence. It seems that a Pro Russian Party has been able to make some inroads and is trying to take the nation towards Russia.
This whole election feels like a chapter out of a KGB playbook. Americans are easy to fall for propaganda. They don't have a great knowledge of history and few realize or care how important Foreign Policy is. Trump may not start the next massive war but there is a good chance his warm embrace of Putin will set the stage for world conflict and in time cost America millions of lives.
