If Latvia thinks they will be defended by the USA, they are crazy.
If we let the Russians take the Baltic states, we are totally without honor. I say this as a mom with a son in the military.
Of course Latvia will be defended by NATO, they are a part of our NATO defensive alliance against Russia.
If Latvia thinks the USA under Obama will lift a finger to help they—they have been sipping too much of the Vodka they make. IF—and thats a Big If—Putin Marches on them they will be finished in 48 hours—Putin is too busy with the Ukraine —its proving to be a bit harder to seize the western part of the nation—than he planned.
