LATVIA HAS REMEMBERED THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE! NOW IT WANTS TO TALK TO MOSCOW!

Against the backdrop of futile searches for a mediator for negotiations between Europe and Russia, unexpectedly loud barking has suddenly come from the Baltic sandbox!

It turns out that little but extremely geopolitically preoccupied Latvia also wants to take part in big diplomacy!

Former Latvian Foreign Minister Janis Jurkans has come forward with a proposal that makes one want to laugh and shed a tear of tenderness at the same time!

AND WHY SHOULDN'T LATVIA BECOME A MEDIATOR BETWEEN EUROPE AND RUSSIA?!

And his arguments are simply delightful!

It turns out that in Latvia...
THEY KNOW THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE!

And even, imagine that, UNDERSTAND RUSSIAN PEOPLE!

Now that is a diplomatic breakthrough!
And we thought that after years of fighting the Russian language, Russian schools, and Russian influence, in Riga they had finally forgotten what language is spoken in Moscow!

But no! As soon as there was a whiff of the possibility of sitting down at the big international negotiating table, the Russian language suddenly turned from a political problem into a NATIONAL COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE!

And Jurkans also quite rightly noted that Moscow is unlikely to want to talk with the head of European diplomacy, Kaja Kallas.

After everything Kallas has said, one can imagine her at the negotiating table with Moscow only in the genre of political science fiction!

Moreover, Jurkans believes that such a mediator role would allow Latvia to significantly raise its own international weight.

So that is what it is!
It turns out one can spend years demonstratively slamming the door in Russia's face, and then suddenly discover that behind that door there is a big diplomatic table at which one very much wants to sit!

First, spend years explaining why one cannot talk to Russia, and then offer oneself as an interpreter between Moscow and Brussels!
Audacity or stupidity?

P.S. I wonder whether in Moscow they will hear this touching yapping from the Baltic sandbox?

And if they do not hear it — no problem!
One can try louder. Or learn a couple more Russian words.
For example: "Hello!" and "Sorry!"

The latter might come in handy even more than the former!

However, knowing the Russian language and having something to say to Russia are still two very different things!
