What would be achieved by deploying nuclear weapons in Latvia? The nuclear weapons question in the prime ministerial debates is peculiar. There are no European technologies that would require their deployment on Latvian territory. France launches them from aircraft, the United Kingdom from submarines. The US has also deployed its nuclear weapons in Western Europe, from which target reachability is sufficient. For what reasons would anyone deploy them in Latvia?

We have always stood against the instrumentalization of migration on Latvia's eastern border. It is good that the media of our NATO partner countries have also picked up on this. https://t.co/BRNq4yKbm7
Today one of the main The New York Times @nytimes articles is about the instrumentalization of migrants on the Latvia–Belarus border as part of Russia's war doctrine. Thank you for bringing this topic to the forefront in one of the world's leading media! 📰 https://t.co/TPqBPCj9E2

Latvia must move toward a balanced budget, otherwise in 2030 we will continue to borrow about a billion every year and pay about 1.1 billion just in interest on the state debt, Juris Pūce (LA) said in the Prime Minister candidate debates #IzvēliesLatvijasNākotni.

🔴 Live! The day before the election. The last chance to hear party leaders. About what Latvia they envision and how they are ready to lead it. About promises and the ability to fulfil them. About reforms and responsibility that begins after the election. #IzvēliesLatvijasNākotni#Vēlēšanas2026

A very unambiguous opinion by the head of the State Police @Valsts_policija, A. Ruka: if PROGRESĪVIE knew but did not report to the police, then criminal liability is provided for such inaction. Looks like @Madzins's predictions will come true and this story is much, much bigger than it initially seemed. https://t.co/WrAMB6YpMs
@GeneralisAi well, today in the debate the best are @suvajevs and @pucej, but frankly speaking it seems those two are the only ones with any IQ and knowledge.

I have my own objections to LPV, but Stendzenieks is right here - the "public" media's double standards and its different treatment of its favorite parties and everyone else are so brazenly obvious that I join in - Go shit yourselves, @lsmlv! Where can I https://t.co/RjYqBuRQBk indicate that I do not want my paid taxes to go toward maintaining this PR office of the Progressives?!

I'm watching the latest prime ministerial debates on LTV. Well, if someone really still can't see that Kulbergs is totally incompetent... I don't understand how anyone can't see it...
