"Kaimiņš" is the Latvian word of the week as Latvia's neighboring countries of Russia and Belarus continue to make life difficult for Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland with the arrival of Wagner Group militants close to the EU border. Otto breaks down the security threat and discusses a number of other important stories with Joe such as amendments to alcohol law that are moving forward, the possible distribution of Ukrainian grain through Latvia, two surprising breakouts by fugitives, more than 100 years of friendship between Latvia and the USA, and much more!
