    But he is wrong, Latvians are a people and have a right of self determination.

    This would still be true if the UN didn’t recognise Latvia, but to say UN recognition doesn’t matter is silly.

      Just to make things clear here, nowhere did I say that he’s right or that UN recognition doesn’t matter, or any of the sorts. I’m making fun of how community notes is perfect for hypocritical smug libs who pretend to care about UN recognition all of a sudden, when I’ve seen many of them shitting on the UN not too long ago for not towing the hardcore Zionist line. I probably should’ve included that in my comment.

        Actually the dissolution of USSR was illegal since the majority voted for it to be preserved therefore Latvia’s(and the other post Soviet countries) existence alone is illegal so he’s right in a way lmao.
