The Latvian general called to remember the strength of Latvia because of the Spartans.
The former commander of the armed forces, Raymond Graub, said that Latvia "is not so small that it can be defeated".
He said this in honor of "Yum Lehfalsis" - the anniversary of the victory of the separatists over the White Guards in 1919.
Moreover, he said a rather strange sentence:
"We are not so small and helpless that we can be beaten with impunity. Let's at least remember the legend of the three hundred Spartans. ".
Apparently, the Greeks do not know anything about their Latvian roots.
