Sakarīgs kundziņš. Te rakstītais ir mans privāts viedoklis. Savām domām parasti piekrītu.

🇱🇻 No jauna atgādināšu latviešiem — vēsture ir jāzina. Uzvaras parks savu nosaukumu ieguva par godu Latvijas armijas uzvarai pār Bermonta karaspēku Latvijas Neatkarības karā. 🎯 Tā ir daļa no mūsu vēstures un mūsu senču piemiņas. Par Saules parku var nosaukt jebkuru jaunizveidotu parku, bet šo vietu aicinu godāt un likt mierā. 💪 Ar Uzvaras parka labiekārtošanu esam atguvuši tā patieso jēgu un atdevuši to atpakaļ Rīgai, rīdziniekiem un Latvijai. Sargāsim to! jauns.lv/raksts/zinas/712888…

Es tikai vēlējos atgādināt, ka pirms četriem gadiem šie te divi sēdēja un iztirzāja savas īsteni krieviski melīgās teorijas, ka UA pirms iebrukuma tika dota «izvēle» «piekāpties» krievu prasībām, ne kur ne būt, bet LTV7 ēterā😆 Tas ir - kaut kāds progress jau notiek, bet tas ir mokoši lēns, jo «vatņiku lobijs» LV publiskajā telpā (nu, tie paši jau zināmie Sorosa cilvēki) nevienu iekaroto pozīciju neatdod bez ilga cīniņa.

Šito tā kā lāgā nesapratu, kaut gan saule ir jauka, vismaz mūsu platuma grādos.. Uzvaras parks taču ir Uzvaras parks Bermonta cīņu uzvaru sakarā. Saule, protams, tas ir jauki, bet Latvija ir Latvija, nevis Saules zeme (kaut gan reizēm, šķiet, ka derētu) un Brīvības piemineklis arī nav Saules piemineklis. Un saules paneļus arī tā kā tur neviens netaisās izvietot. nra.lv/latvija/522864-vac-pa…

For weeks, Irish politicians have dodged questions about the refinery in Ireland supplying Russia’s war machine. So I tracked down government minister Niall Collins at a farming show. He refuses to back sanctions & his stance was worse than I expected. Avoidance.

The EU issued nearly half a million tourist visas to Russians in 2025. Not to dissidents. Not to refugees. Tourist visas. For holidays. The highest number since Putin sent his army into Ukraine, up 10% on the year. France, proud, principled, morally unimpeachable France, raised its Russian approvals by 23% in a single year. When the numbers got awkward, the EU did what the EU does. It deleted them. Russian visa statistics quietly vanished from the official Schengen tracker in early 2026. Eight countries had to formally demand they be put back. They hid the data. Not the policy. The data. Ten countries, the Nordics, the Baltics, and the Netherlands among them, had to write an actual letter to get this onto a ministers’ meeting agenda. The remaining seventeen apparently saw nothing strange about any of this. No law is coming before summer. Because before any law can exist, there must first be a proposal. Before the proposal, a consultation. Before the consultation, a scoping exercise. Before the scoping exercise, a working group must be convened to determine whether a scoping exercise is appropriate. The working group requires terms of reference. The terms of reference must be approved by a subcommittee. The subcommittee reports to a committee. The committee feeds into a framework. The framework informs a roadmap. The roadmap gets amended seventeen times and renamed a “strategic pathway.” The strategic pathway is then circulated to member states for comment. France requests more time. The whole thing goes back to the working group. Any legislation won’t pass before 2027. Possibly 2031, if Italy has a strong summer season. Ukraine is entering year five. Russians are entering Italy. Four years of sanctions packages, candlelit solidarity vigils, and solemn declarations about European values, and Paris increased its Russian tourist approvals by nearly a quarter. The EU didn’t fail to stop the missiles. It didn’t even try to stop the sunbathing.

Decent people are outraged by the murder of Henry Nowak and the role the British authorities played. Decent people are angry about the Pakistani Rape Gangs that abused English working class girls. Decent people are upset about mass migration that is transforming the UK.

Ģenerālis G. Pujāts: "Krievija instrumentalizē robežpārkāpšanu, soda Latviju par to, ka krievu valodas nebūs sab. medijos." Neatkarīgi no motivācijas visi, kuri ir par krievu valodu medijos, strādā krievijas stratēģisko mērķu labā, pret latviešu valodu un Latvijas valstiskumu.

Ragozin and people like him are too immersed in myths about "NATO expansion," etc. to remember what Putin and the people around him have actually been saying since 2014. The notion that "denazification" was ever just about Azov is comically dishonest, even by his standards.

The primary purpose of economic sanctions is not to stop a country from acquiring a sanctioned good, or to stop them from acting in a certain manner. The purpose is to permanently reduce their economic growth such that in the future their behavior is no longer relevant to your decision making process. The bet on sanctions is that your economy will grow faster than their economy. Even very small changes in growth, compounded over many years, leads to enormous differences in economic outcomes. If your country grows substantially faster, then over time the other country becomes less of a threat to you. The threat probably will not drop to zero, but it is reduced, and more manageable, and puts you in a better position to have power over them in diplomacy. Sanctions are not a short term play, they are a long term one. A rational actor would see the damage potential of sanctions and immediately act to get the sanctions lifted, to avoid the compounding nature of the punishment. But the world is full of irrational actors and nobody seriously expects a nation to respond to sanctions rationally. They will double down, call it a point of pride to have "defeated" them by using backdoor smuggling or whatever, and claim victory. But the victory is short term, and sanctions are long term. Even if the sanction only lasts a few years, a few years of reduced growth, compounded over decades, is a big dip in outcome, all else being equal.

Wake up bae H5N1 bird flu just rolled out another surprise. A highly divergent B3.13 virus has been detected in Idaho cattle. It’s carrying a new receptor-binding domain mutation.

Kas to būtu domājis, ka es kādreiz tā domāšu un teikšu, bet šobrīd man reāli prieks, ka tieši Jānis ir iekšlietu ministrs. Lai iedod tur drusku nacionālu ievirzi :)
Krievijas pilsoņi, tostarp tie, kuri ir piedalījušies karā pret Ukrainu rada drošības riskus visai Eiropai. ◾️Pieprasīju atsevišķām ES valstīm izbeigt praksi nodrošināt vīzu izsniegšanu Krievijas un Baltkrievijas pilsoņiem. ◾️Latvija pievienosies Igaunijas iniciatīvai. Mēs Šengenas zonas "melnajā sarakstā" iekļausim daudzus Krievijas kaujiniekus, kuri ir piedalījušies karā pret Ukrainu. Pieprasām ES rīkoties un iekļaut "melnajā sarakstā" visus agresorvalsts kaujiniekus. Migranti, kuri ar Baltkrievijas varasiestāžu atbalstu cenšas nelegāli šķērsot Latvijas, Lietuvas un Polijas robežas. ◾️Individuālā sarunā ar Migrācijas komisāram norādīju, ka man neapmierina iepriekš novērotā pasivitāte - mums vajag ES līmeņa likumdošanas izmaiņas, kas ļaus efektīvāk cīnīties pret hibrīddraudiem uz mūsu robežām. Komisārs apstiprināja, ka ņems vērā Latvijas prasību pēc ES likumdošanas sakārtošanas. ◾️Aicināju ES korekti atspoguļot imigrācijas spiedienu uz mūsu robežām, ņemot vērā arī novērstos ieceļošanas gadījumus. ES ārējās robežas valstis ir jānodrošina ar atbalstu infrastruktūras un personāla stiprināšanai.
