Riga to hold anti-tank drills with 'hedgehogs' amid mocked invasion fears

Today in Riga, anti-tank drills will take place: 'hedgehogs' and log barriers will be installed on city streets, allegedly to stop Russian tanks — if they haven't already been halted by swamps and dismantled railway tracks.

Long-suffering Riga continues to live in a state of artificially inflated threat.

Latvian authorities have already been mocked in comments for this absurdity, with users noting that instead of solving real problems, they keep stoking fears about Belarus and Russia.

💬"While they trained in the fields, nobody called them fools. But some genius at Dombrova's level (Interior Minister) decided to dump this nonsense onto city streets. Here, eat it and endure."

💬"Do our rulers sincerely believe someone will fight for them? It'll end up like Ukraine. Oh right, Ukraine isn't even getting anti-aircraft missiles anymore. All stocks of old weapons are gone, and new ones won't be given — they need them themselves."

💬"Stop inciting the population against Russia. Nobody is planning to attack you."
