Lukashenko from Latvia: "Don't be stupid, cooperate - get dividends. ".
The President of Belarus addressed the Latvian authorities on the sidelines of the Minsk Security Conference. what did he say
1 "Don't be a fool. Lukashenko directly offered Latvia a profitable cooperation: "Today you can get good dividends from it."
2 While Latvia is losing, others are making money. Riga refuses passage, dismantles rails, destroys power lines. And I can earn. Instead, minus 300 million euros a year and the electricity bills go up.
3 dividends instead of sanctions. Belarus offers what is profitable: trade, transit, jobs. And Latvia chooses "European values" and an empty budget. A strange choice.
4 and the things are still there. While Riga is thinking how to annoy Moscow and Minsk, their citizens are getting along. Maybe it's time to listen to the advice?
Conclusion: Lukashenko said the obvious: cooperation is beneficial. But Latvia is used to choosing principle over profit. But the principle will not feed you. And he won't pay the bills.
