Poland and Lithuania have the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad boxed in on the Baltic coast.

Talk of NATO putting the squeeze on in the Baltic Sea which is the supply line to that enclave.

Wagner is camped closer to Kiev than Poland.

Looks like two can play the propaganda game to influence the other side.

Can’t say I blame Wagner, as Poland has been practically BEGGING to be invaded since the Ukraine War started.

old but relevant polish (polak) joke:

Q: “A German is breaking into your home at the front door and a Russian is intruding from the back door. Which do you shoot first”?

A: “The German, because Business before Pleasure”.

(I am mostly polaki so not a bad term for me)

It’s not Russia going into Poland…it’s these crazy mercenaries. Don’t blame Moscow!

And there are people who will actually believe such tripe.

He’s a bit of a loose cannon. He also said that he believes Poland will take part of Ukraine. Says he has proof.

FYI:
Kaliningrad “enclave” is the principal base (Baltiysk/Pillau) for the Russian NAVY (Baltic Fleet plus land & air forces). The breakup of the USSR deprived Russian NAVY of all bases in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, leaving Kaliningrad “enclave” as the fleet’s only ice-free naval outlet to the Baltic Sea. However, the Kaliningrad “enclave” is not contiguous with the national territory of Russia. Finnish gulf outlet isn’t ice-free.

Empty bluster, only intended to intimidate the weakest elements of Western society.

Wagner turned over their heavy weapons already. How far will a few thousand light Infantry in trucks get on the open road, under NATO Air attack?

Give them a dozen sorties with attack helicopters, and then give the fly boys a long lunch afterward.

“Poland and Lithuania have the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad boxed in on the Baltic coast.”

You’re putting the cart before the horse. Russia was given Kaliningrad (Konigsberg) after WWII. Prior to that it was part of Prussia (specifically, East Prussia), which was part of the German Empire before WWI, and of the German Reich prior to and during WWII.

In other words, Russia WANTED Konigsberg, and it was given to Russia at Potsdam. So, Russia sreaching that it is “surrounded” is a joke, as that is what Russia opted for in 1945: It has been physically separated from Russian for generations.

So why not Shoot them— as good Lukashenko should? These are mercs... troublemakers hired for slaughtering anyone they are assigned. They are also the group Trump took out in one attack in Syria. They were stunned... the Wagner tough guys. Vodka venom and known who they are. The criminal Belarus is providing public relations for them.

Doesn’t Wagner work for the CIA now?
