In my opinion, if not Latvia, how about Poland? If not Poland, how about Germany? If not Germany, how about France? If not France....this issue reinforces the need for a collective defence organization such as NATO....one could perhaps argue that NATO's out-of-area operations in places such as Afghanistan since 2001 was a step too far, but when it comes to the defence of European homelands, it's a pretty basic concept that the West needs to stick together....
