The population is declining, your Muslim populations seem to assimilate poorly and are extremely poor, and nationalistic opinions are growing quickly. Mostly free US defense may be reduced and your budgets are already suffering from uncertainty, Brexit, Muslims, Greece, limited fuel sources, and probably a few other I don't know about.
You are right, and this is something we discuss a lot. About Brexit, for me it's a good thing, in the european parlament, England always stand against any progression, with the support of the US... Your financial "buble" doesn't like the europe, in fact Trump doesn't like it too. We can't stay as a little countries, we need to be together or we are going to fall and become the poorest place on earth.
You are really close to both Russia and the Middle East which means constant vigilance is necessary but will European leaders stand together when they have such a horrible history of it? If Russia eats little Latvia, who will stand up to them? America again?
I have seen Néo-nazis from the us raising hands and yellings "heil Trump", What if it's your country the next "big problem", who is gonna stand against ? You have tons and tons of nuclear bombs... Here we affraid of it ? sure. definitely. But, again, you're right : Russia can be a problem too.
Thanks for sharing your opinion with kindness. There's people here who can't do that apparently.
