Isn’t it interesting how none of these articles and journalists ever mention that this blockade is a blatant treaty violation, a treaty that Lithuania signed and ratified by its entire government?

Of course they're not going to mention it. Because they're puppets of the WEF and want war against the world's largest nuclear power so they can install chips into all of us and control what we can eat or travel.

And you got tons of dumb FReepers accepting the Putin-is-evil narrative and willingly go along with this.

See post #5 as a prime example

Does Russia honor treaties? Only when they feel like it. Having said that, I’m not in favor of NATO getting involved in this fight. The time for a strong deterrence effort against Russian aggression was BEFORE they invaded Ukraine.

Actually, Article 11 says even more than that, but since Russia has violated treaty agreements with Ukraine (i.e. occupying Crimea 8 years ago already) can anyone say much about it and not be a hypocrite?

Actually, it isn't.

Article 22

Matters which are not regulated by this Agreement, or by international agree ments to which both of the Contracting Parties are party, shall be decided in accord ance with the legislation of each of the Contracting Parties.

Article 23

This Agreement shall not affect the rights and obligations of the Contracting Parties arising from other international treaties and agreements which they have concluded.


Lithuania has other treaty agreements with the European Union, UN, and general international law, which are in effect and prevent them from being party in the transport of sanctioned goods.
It isn't Lithuania alone doing it, but the EU and NATO. Russia isn't about to start a war with NATO and the rest of the EU, when it is losing a war in Ukraine.
