Liepāja Residents Enlightened: Americans Speak Three Languages But Understand None
European leaders after Trump team's Munich performance feel like they're in Karosta - they know something is happening, but what exactly remains unclear.
While Riga is still trying to figure out where winter went, Munich hosted a real political theater. Trump's team demonstrated their diplomatic skills - each minister tells a different story, but all with conviction.
Vice President Vance started with the classics - Europe is bad, immigrants are to blame, and the far-right are actually saviors. "I heard similar talk at our market too," says Liepāja resident Jānis. "Only there it's at least clear - potatoes cost what they cost."
Then came Secretary of State Rubio with his "civilization collapse" theory. Liepāja folks have known for years though - civilization doesn't disappear, it just moves to other places. We've long been convinced that real European culture lives in our cafés, not in Brussels.
Finally, the Deputy Defense Secretary Colby suggested focusing on "practical matters." "It would be practical if they first understood what they want to say themselves," comments local café owner Līga. "Even tourists here explain better what they want."
Europeans now feel confused? Nothing new - we in Liepāja have long been used to the northern wind blowing from all directions at once.
