CTV News/Canadian Press: Canadian commander says NATO battle group in Latvia could beat back Russian attack
RIGA, Latvia - The Canadian officer commanding a NATO battle group in Latvia says Russian forces would be routed if they dared launch an attack against Canadian troops and their allies stationed in the Baltic country on Russia's western border.
"I think we'd win by a fair margin," Lt.-Col. Jesse van Eijk, head of the Enhanced Forward Presence Latvia battle group, said in an interview Wednesday.

There were initially fears the missile had been fired by Russia, but Poland said Wednesday it was probably launched by air defences in neighbouring Ukraine.

Tripwire troops that will trigger a non-response from a demilitarized client state which would struggle to put even 10k men in the battlespace.
Russia must surrender
