Putin's regime branded Latvia a 'neo-Nazi' state in a chilling echo of Moscow's threats to Ukraine after the Baltic state made May 9 a day of remembrance for victims of Russian aggression.
In an extraordinary rant, Moscow called Riga's decision to commemorate Ukrainian war victims next month - on the same day as Russia's Victory Day to mark the surrender of Nazi Germany - 'blasphemous'.
Latvian MPs passed the legislation to draw attention to ' Russia's military aggression'. Latvian national flags will be raised alongside Ukrainian flags at every residence and government building.
According to Kremlin-backed media, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called the decision 'an attempt to humiliate the Russian-speaking community living in Latvia'.
She added: 'The blasphemous decision of the Latvian parliamentarians is subject to strong condemnation by all sensible forces not only in Russia, but throughout the world.
'At the same time, this legislative act is not surprising, since the ruling regime in Latvia has long been well known for its neo-Nazi preferences and attempts to whitewash the atrocities of Nazi Germany 's henchmen.
'Just as Riga in every possible way covers the crimes of the Kiev regime against civilians in Ukraine and Donbas. We are convinced that that history will put everything in its place.'
The bill will also not allow the organisation of any public celebrations and says there will be no issue of permits for public events.
It comes as a former senior officer in the Russian army laid out a battle plan on state TV which includes the Russian army invading the NATO Baltic states and parts of Sweden, a politically neutral country.
Speaking live on TV channel Rossiya 1, retired Russian military Colonel gestured to the map showing Gotland, Sweden's largest island with a population of around 58,595, circled in red.

Ukraine ping
Putin has settled on an anti-Nazi crusade as his theme, much as Hitler settled on anti-Bolshevism. My guess is that these were all fig leaves - you can’t very well say you want masses of people to fight wars on your behalf so you can join Alexander in the ranks of the immortals, historically-speaking. So the cause has got to be something that captures the zeitgeist. In the 1930’s, that was anti-Bolshevism. Today, maybe Putin can recapture some of the magic, with his anti-Nazi crusade, that Hitler’s anti-Bolshevism helped motivate millions of Germans and a number of other nationalities to roll the dice with their own lives.
The propaganda line is consistent. Anyone Putin dislikes is a Nazi. Ukrainians, Poles, anyone.
... Jews.
(Someone: Cue the image of Hitler on a sled with the caption "Everyone I hate is Hitler.")
Regards,
The difference here is that Latvia is in NATO. The only missiles he will hurl there will be verbal ones, until WW3 breaks out.
Can you please add me to your Ukraine ping list?

Aye, Pooty has that in common with the nattering socialista/commie Democrats of America when hey are cowed by patriots supporting the Constitution and MAGA.
They’re also in the EU. So it’s Article 5 and the EU alliance that Biden and his boss tout that is on the line here.
Nazis there too, eh?
Golly gee……..are there also secret Bio Labs that Putin needs to seize so he can show the world proof of the NWO corruption?
Let’s watch the Putin Posse support this too.
Yep... that’s the same propaganda they used during the Cold War. Those who rebelled against their hegemony in Czechoslovakia in 1968 and the Hungarians in 1956 were termed “nazis” as well.
The sooner Putin is put down like the rabid dog he is, the better.
there are both Nazis and bio 🥼 labs in the Ukraine.
The Putin cult will say anything to protect their god.
He sounds like antifa.
We’re seeing a pattern here. The rats and left see Nazi’s and white supremacists hiding under every rock. (Both of them in rural Idaho are flattered by all the attention.) And Russia sees Nazi’s hiding under every rock too. ALL PHONY. What is pitiful are all the low level useful idiots who believe the BS
There are Nazis and Bio Labs here.
Nazis and Bio Labs in Belgium.
Nazis and Bio Labs in Canada.
Nazis and Bio Labs in France.
Nazis and Bio Labs in Spain.
Nazis and Bio Labs in the U.K.
……..and on and on…….
Good grief………you better grab your gear and get in there and help those Russian friends of yours.
Yes, so why lie about the Ukraine?
What lie are you talking about?
You denounce Q in your Tag Line……..like many others that deny they’re Q followers yet believe the wild conspiracies that began with Q People on the internet in various places.
You may not know it, or believe it, but you do follow Q.
You are a Q Follower by Proxy.
Biolabs and Nazis both exist in the Ukraine, a fact you greet with a feigned incredulity.
There are (were) 4 Bio Labs in Ukraine.
Never have I denied that.
My point is and was that ALL First World Nations have Bio Labs.
From Brazil to Japan to Iceland to South Africa.
Of course Ukraine’s Bio Labs are special and contain secret evidence of the New World Order and the Bush Family and Soros and the Russians shall release a treasure trove of Hunter Biden corruption (as if we need more).
So says your non buddies yet buddies Q nuts.
