Quiet but committed

Nuclear deterrence is not a constant issue in the public space, except news on such issues as the failing arms control regimes and North Korea. 

The government has not been vocal in public on nuclear weapons and the nuclear umbrella of NATO/NATO allies. But it can be safely argued that in the context of Latvia’s neighborhood, i.e. Russian nuclear capabilities and policies (like readiness to use it in case of a conventional confrontation), the nuclear deterrence of NATO/NATO allies is seen as of fundamental importance. The stronger the NATO/NATO allies’ nuclear deterrent, the better.
