    Latvia is actually in NATO, not just receiving support from NATO countries. This is meaningless bluster.

      Depends. “Retaliation” is not necessarily military. Russia could retaliate by seizing property from Latvians living in Russia, and NATO would not respond.

      And it sounds like there’s no specific person who announced/backed it, so nobody for Russia to attempt to defenestrate or gift with polonium or some other poison.
