Middle East conflict reveals that the US cannot afford to fight against Liepāja's mosquito army
While the US and Israel spend 13 million dollars to shoot down one drone, Liepāja veterans point out that with such economics, even Karosta's mosquitoes would be invincible.
The Middle East war this week revealed a sensational truth: the same people who calculate Riga's public transport ticket prices are involved in US military budget planning. A local mathematics enthusiast from Pētera Street, where all Liepāja residents meet to discuss world events, calculated that with one 'Patriot' missile costing 13 million dollars, you could buy 26 thousand Liepāja residents.
Iran with its 30 thousand dollar drones has proven that cheap technology can outperform expensive ones. This is no surprise in Liepāja — our local fishermen have known for years that with a 5 euro fishing rod from 'Depo' you can catch just as many fish as with a 500 euro 'Shimano' set that Riga residents buy.
Most concerning is the news that the US is asking Ukraine to share experience on how to cheaply shoot down drones. That's like asking Liepāja pensioners to explain how to survive on 300 euros per month — they've been masters of this art for 30 years. Local expert Gunārs from Karosta comments: 'Americans think war is expensive, but they haven't tried heating an apartment in Liepāja in February.'
Although the Middle East conflict is serious, the economic mathematics suggests that the cheapest solution would be to send Liepāja winter veterans there — they've long learned to fight with minimal resources against merciless conditions.
