A Russian lawmaker called for Lithuania's independence to be repealed, submitting a draft bill claiming the Baltic republic illegally left the Soviet Union more than three decades ago.

The proposed legislation was submitted to the Russian lower house, the Duma, on Wednesday by Yevgeny Fyodorov, a member of the ruling United Russia party.

In March 1990, Lithuania became the first republic to announce it intended to restore its independence from the disintegrating USSR, under whose control it had been for five decades after the Soviet army occupied it in 1940.

“A Russian lawmaker called for Lithuania’s independence to be repealed...”

LOLOLOL, that’s not how that works....

Imagine the British parliament trying to pass a bill “repealing” the independence of the 13 colonies!

“and supportive of Iran”

Iran’s a Russian puppet but not much to worry about militarily. It seems that if they sent their military off on any adventure, the people would take that opportunity to revolt, so I doubt they would do much besides maybe attacking a neighbor.

If there is a new “Axis” that is forming, it will be a more significant third partner, like Turkey, or India, not Iran.
