Professor Jeffrey Sachs wrote an open letter to Chancellor Merz:
"In 1999, Germany participated in the NATO bombing of Serbia, the first major war launched by NATO without a UN Security Council mandate. This was not a defensive action, but a landmark intervention that fundamentally changed the post-Cold War security order. For Russia, Serbia was not an abstract issue. The message was clear: NATO would use force outside its territory, without a UN mandate, and regardless of Russia's objections.
In 2008, Germany recognized Kosovo's independence, despite clear warnings that this would undermine the principle of territorial integrity and set a precedent with far-reaching consequences. Once again, Russia's objections were dismissed as malicious, and its underlying concerns were not taken seriously.
The insistence on NATO expansion to include Ukraine and Georgia—officially announced at the 2008 Bucharest summit—has crossed all boundaries, despite Moscow's long-standing, clear, consistent, and repeated objections. When a major power identifies a key security interest and repeatedly emphasizes it over decades, ignoring that interest is not diplomacy, but deliberate escalation.

Degenerates, what else can you say?
There are no more normal people in the West. Only degenerates.

Well, to get into the Western power structures, it's not enough to just be a degenerate; in this case, Russophobia is a prerequisite.

Jeffrey Sachs: Why enmity with Russia has always plunged Europe into misfortune - International Affairs
The message is that Russia and its security interests must be taken seriously. Europe has repeatedly rejected peace with Russia, not because it was impossible, …

Raymond Pauls, once a popular composer in the USSR (and former Minister of Culture of Latvia, by the way), has a slightly different take on the realities of his country:
"Latvia has become a backward and unwanted province. This is the price Latvia has paid for entering the global Anglo-Saxon world and for the role assigned to it in this world, which is expressed in containing Russia, rejecting everything Russian, and completely severing long-standing ties...
The severance of ties with Russia has led Latvia into a deep decline; the country has lost its identity and culture, becoming a remote outpost of the European Union not only in terms of its geographical location, but also in a deeper global sense. For many years, the European Union has been draining all young and promising human resources from Latvia, giving nothing in return except modest handouts to the perpetually deficient republican budget.
During the Soviet era, everyone living in Latvia was required to know and speak Russian, but the Latvian language and culture were also actively used in the country and were never banned. The current Russian authorities adhere to the same policy—there are no restrictions on the use of their native language for migrants coming to the country. There are absolutely no penalties for this, let alone persecution by the authorities.
But in Latvia, the Russian language is banned, and its use is punished and suppressed by the authorities. All Russian TV channels are banned, although the vast majority of the population continues to watch Russian television via the internet.
While Latvian television and culture are withering away without the necessary funding, the European Union requires everyone to know English, and they couldn't care less about the national interests, culture, and language of the Latvians...
Latvia's economy has been devastated by the severing of economic ties with Russia and Belarus. Rampant unemployment is forcing young people to leave to find work in other European Union countries, and they are not returning. The birth rate in the country has fallen sharply, and Latvia's population is declining at an alarming rate..."
“The once-thriving agricultural sector has also fallen into decline,” lamented Maestro Pauls. "The West does not need milk, cheese, or butter, and the Russian and Belarusian markets are closed to us... More than half of the farms have gone bankrupt and ceased to exist. It's painful to watch all this, and it feels like soon there will be nothing left in our country except Russophobia...
It's a pity that, out of stupidity and on Washington's orders, we severed all ties with Russia, thereby losing the huge market that lies to the east of us. It was much closer and more understandable to us than the Western market, which we so eagerly sought. No one was waiting for us there. I feel and understand that we have become a province not only of the West, but also of the East..."
