President of Lithuania Gets Punk’d After Declaring Russia a ‘Terrorist State’
The Observer ^

Posted on 12/15/2014 12:38:19 AM PST by wetphoenix

Copies of a highly critical book land in the private, inaccessible mailboxes of all Members of European Parliament

The last time Lithuania’s leader, Dalia Grybauskaite, talked to Vladimir Putin personally was in 2010, when he was still Prime Minister of the Russian government. But Ms Grybauskaite, the president of this small Baltic country of 3 million people, has been talking about him all the time since. And now, she is in trouble.

It all started with an interview she gave to the Washington Post (Sept. 24) in which Ms Grybauskaite said that Russia is allowed by “Europe and the world … to be a country that is not only threatening its neighbors but is also organizing a war against its neighbors [Ukraine and other states, unspecified by her]. It is the same international terrorism as we have in Iraq and Syria… There is no leadership in Europe or in the world able to stop Putin.” To the direct question by the Post reporter “So you think both ISIS and Russia are terrorists?” the brave lady answered, “Yes. I think that Russia is terrorizing its neighbors and using terrorist methods.”

One month later in an interview with Lithuanian TV and Radio company LRT, the president went further and directly called Russia a “terrorist state.”

An angry rebuke from the Russian Ministry for Foreign Affairs immediately followed. In its statement, the representative of the Ministry made a suggestion that such hostile rhetoric by the Lithuanian president had been caused by Ms. Grybauskaite’s “complexes about her Soviet past” and recommended that she “temper her Komsomol fervor.” For those too young to remember, Komsomol was a Young Communist League of the USSR — a political organization for the Soviet Communist youth.

I guess local EU trolls were enamored with Russia when it was a center of world communism. You have probably attended ‘peace rallies’ and so on and gathered around US military bases at the time.

You are yet to meet a communist you don’t like and Russians are your heretics and alleged ‘traitors of revolution’ right now.

I can easily see a pattern here. It hasn’t started with Ukrainian coup and MH17, but more with gay propaganda issue and anti-jihadi foreign policy for Africa and Middle East.

Don’t worry, at that pace you would have your beloved leftist utopia very soon.

Little Finland has also made recent expressions of distress about aggressive Russian moves in their neighborhood.

I agree with you about the gay issue, namely that Putin is widely rumored to prefer men.

Hopefully Putin will just come out of the closet soon - instead of trying to cover it up with the fake macho photo ops, fake gymnast girlfriend, and all-too-real military adventures.

LOL. I am still quite amused. Obama and media has washed your brains pretty well.
We have an article which says that EU had devoted Marxists in charge of economy, which is a career member of Soviet Communist party turned a ‘true’ Pro-Western president of a European country and capitalizing on Russophobia despite the fact that said person spearheaded the Soviet threat herself.
Yet, you have nothing to say on subject but posting Putin’s pictures.

Less than 10% of Soviet population were members of CPSU. And much lesser number made it into apparatchics (like Dalia did).

All of the Baltic states, post re-independence, have had Presidents or PMs who previously held positions in the Soviet Republic communist versions of their homelands.

That doesn't make it OK for Putin's current aggression against these free countries.

Putin should stick to his "judo" with young men - and leave these small countries alone. Isn't it punishment enough for the Baltics that they have to endure so many Russians living within their borders?

“She has a doctor of Marxist political economic sciences degree”

Was there any other economy taught back then ?

“There is an idea that a Lithuanian president was an accomplished career Soviet communist, born to a family of Stalin’s secret police officer...”

If that's what KGB spreads around then it's likely more like her uncle was a sergeant in road militia and she was the lowest rank party member... What you apparently do not understand (or pretend...) is that it's not really about her... you know, in normal countries Presidents are just some individuals... that come and go... If she was involved in commie system or not is rather irrelevant, especially for non-Lithuanians, until it has nothing to do with her administration's policy... It's like with politicians, who are closet homos, it's irrelevant until they push forward homo agenda. If anything, this case is another example of Russia using tricks to meddle in domestic affairs of their neighbors.
