  1. The phasing out of Russian language should not be celebrated. There are generations of Russians living in Latvia who have always faced oppression, discrimination, and violence from the Latvian government and people. The people being hurt the most are the elderly because they are unable to flee the country that hates them and they struggle to get by day to day. Imagine going to a doctor because youโ€™re sick and youโ€™re trying to explain whatโ€™s wrong and the doctor refuses to speak with you, even if they know Russian, just because the government has allowed them to treat you with no compassion. You can literally be denied life saving services, such as in an emergency, and be left to die by people who know full well what youโ€™re saying but wonโ€™t move a finger until you speak in a different language. Iโ€™M NOT EXAGGERATING, THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING. This is the reality my grandparents are living right now. Iโ€™m currently visiting Latvia, my home country for the first time in 13 years and Iโ€™m scared to go outside, it is horrible here, all the Russians are hiding and suffering with no attempts to defend themselves, as to not be immediately branded a war apologist and put in prison.
    Hate the Russian government, hate the Russian extremists and propaganda, but donโ€™t hate a random Russian babushka who has been living in another country for the past 50 years whoโ€™s just trying to live out her remaining years in peace and comfort. So much hate and suffering is spilling out from this war and affecting so many people in so many more ways than most realize. Creating more suffering is not a solution to suffering, ever.

  2. Starbucks can't open because there is literally no space for them. We have coffee shopa next to coffee shops. And if they come, we will make soup out of that little two tailed mermaid ๐Ÿ˜‚

    P.S. Our food is so good, you'll eat like a pig, feel full and won't pay that much. ๐Ÿคค

  3. The lack of Starbucks and the few McDonald's in the Baltics are mainly because we are generally poorer, and there aren't many businesspeople interested in taking a Starbucks franchise. Any rich people who want to open Starbucks in the Baltics ? In Finland they are successful and they owned by Kesko food which is a big retail group.

  4. Still buy russian gas and provide crucial components. The not letting poor Russians part is correct, but vaino(potions head of staff) is not poor, he's family, he is a free man and can live in Estonia with all his family. Hypocrites
