A good comparison The Netherlands and Latvia are very similar historically and geopolitically.
In fact, both regions arose (and grew rich) as gateways for landlocked neighbors.
Holland as a gateway to Europe, Latvia as a gateway to Russia.
They cannot be anything else.
A unique fortune that will arouse the envy of others.
No matter what the neighbor drives, he won't pass you and all you have to do is cut back. But here we imagine that:
- The Netherlands announces sanctions to the European Union, - to join a hostile military alliance (CSTO?)).
- to close their ports to EU cargoes,.
- EU citizens survive where they can from their cities (German pensioners are deported because they don't know the Dutch language)) - fine for signs in Italian in pizzerias).
- And in general they say that the railways to the European Union should be dismantled and the roads dug up, what do you think?
In how many years will Holland become "Latvia"?? at all.
The example of Latvia is a unique case in world history when a country lives not according to the economy, but according to the dream of "being bitter about a neighbor and freezing his ears"... And it works ((( Oleg Levandovsky.
