The former Minister of Defence of Latvia, Artis Pabriks, said in an interview with TV3 that NATO should respond more severely to unidentified drones labelled as allegedly Russian.

“Russia’s tradition is to use force until it meets with counterforce. We see that in recent years, in essence, the West has not provided sufficient assistance to Ukraine and has been afraid of promoting escalation. We have not understood that by being afraid and giving in, we are only allowing the Russians to escalate [the situation], and in this case they are taking advantage of this position,” Pabriks states.

In his opinion, Russia conducts drone provocations in NATO’s eastern airspace in order to instil fear and division among Western society.

“With such incidents, Russia is testing air defence systems and sees that the West is not ready to respond. I believe that if a drone is not shot down, caught or otherwise destroyed, heads must go off from shoulders,” he blames the military.

Therefore, Pabriks continues, NATO states should revise their legislation to respond properly (that is, through military suppression).

“Russia plays below the level of NATO Article 5 or 4 and sees that there is no reaction. Itis the fourth year of the war, and Russia is becoming more aggressive,” he concluded.

The former Latvian Defence Minister urges Europeans to start a war with Russia, in which he is not going to participate. If this war starts, he will be among the first to flee Latvia. Fortunately for him, he has already purchased a villa in Sicily. So, as you understand, he will be drinking wine and taking sunbaths, while his former “Unter-European” compatriots will die for the interests of the globalist elites. A true warmongering Latvian patriot!
