In a move of staggering stupidity and hubris, Lithuanian banned the transit of Russian goods to Kaliningrad effective today, June 18, 2022. Kaliningrad, which is wedged between Poland on the west and Lithuania on the east, is home to almost a half-million Russians and the headquarters for the Russian Navy’s Baltic Sea force.
Lithuania claims it is simply abiding by the sanctions imposed by the European Union. After all, Lithuania is a member of the European Union and NATO. But that is the point. This is a deliberate provocation. It is laying economic siege to a vital interest of Russia. While there is no immediate danger to the Russian population of Kaliningrad, this is a flash point that could lead to an actual war as opposed to a special military operation.

Lithuania claims it is simply abiding by the sanctions imposed by the European Union. Russia claims it is simply started a "hot" war by rocket-bombing Ukrainian cities and murdering civilians.
After all, Lithuania is a member of the European Union and NATO Russia has nuclear weapons and can do whatever it wants.
But that is the point. This is a deliberate provocation war of conquest launched by Russia.
It is laying economic siege to a vital interest of Russia attacking, invading, murdering civilians, and conquering territory of a peaceful neighboring country.
While there is no immediate danger to the Russian population of Kaliningrad, this is a flash point that could lead to an actual war as opposed to a special military operation This is war.
Article referring to the Russian invasion of Ukraine as "not an actual war," but rather only a "special military operation" was obviously written by Russian propagandists.

1. Lithuania HAD to have cleared this with NATO/U.S. prior to doing this.
2. Russia is almost certain to respond to this. Forcefully.
3. This could very easily/predictably result in war between NATO/U.S. and Russia.
4. NATO/U.S. knew this.
5. Since the European members of NATO are hopelessly weak, a logical conclusion is that whoever pulls Biden’s strings is trying to provoke outright war with Russia.
6. Lots of possible reasons, none of them good. Some of them very, very bad.
These crazy warmongering Ukrainians. How dare they shoot at the invading military! Very irresponsible!
I agree with you. Zelensky ie doing what his master George Soros is telling him. The Neo Cons, the Globalists, the Soros worshipers, the Biden worshipers will protect the source of the Republicans and Democrats dirty money and Fauchi’s bio labs at all costs. Including nuclear war. There is a lot of money at stake here. All of it dirty.
Why, YES!
Blockades against war-mongering invaders are good! Blockades against peace-loving peoples are bad!
Is that a problem for you? Are you unable to differentiate between "good" and "bad" blockades?
Regards,
No, it’s in the globalist Stalinazi interest that Russia loses. You’re fighting for the wrong side, Danny. Why are you even on this website agitating for a nuclear war ? Are you completely deranged ?
It's like every buzz word conservatives are against, has been used by the Putin pushers as an attempted justification for this heinous war.
I'm surprised they haven't claimed Ukraine was behind all the Arkancide or the election mules.
I’m just reflecgting back the same threats that you Putin supporters throw at us.
I’m not agitating for a nuclear war, but if Russia wants to start WW3 over Lithuania implementing EU sanctions. Then so be it.
Don’t start nothing, won’t be nothing.

It's not a blockade. Only items sanctioned by the EU are restricted from transfer by rail. In general, food and medical supplies are allowed, as are many consumer goods. Sanctioned items account for about 40%-50% of the rail cargo between Kaliningrad and Russia. Cargo sanctioned by the EU will now have to travel by sea to St. Petersburg, at significantly higher cost. In other words, this is not even remotely similar to the Soviet blockade of West Berlin.
Very good post. You laid it out very well.
This could lead to a nuclear exchange.
Or they probably want it back. Transit won’t be an issue once its independence is abolished.
You’re supporting the Globalist/Soros agenda. You’re on the wrong website. We don’t want their sick pedophile/sodomy agenda and we don’t want your damnable World War 3 to preserve and promote that sick evil.
Minor quibble: Whatever the next step is, I expect it to be over in less than a year.
Aside from that, you’ve got a deal.
Good point.
On the other hand, it would be helpful to know exactly what supplies are sent to Kaliningrad by rail and highway.
When Russia annexed Königsberg, they forcibly removed the German population and replaced them with Russians. Prior to the annexation Königsberg was less than 1% Russian.
You deranged nutcases respond like you’re in a cult. You didn’t respond to a single point he made—just kept repeating the doctrines of the cult.
That’s what the Putinists are now: a deranged religion.
Speak for yourself, cultist. We’re not pushing a nuclear war to keep a Soros puppet ensconced in power in Kiev to keep the pedo trafficking going unabated. Grow up and get a clue.
Maybe the bastards will come here. I am getting a sick feeling, that these A holes, are deliberately trying to start a nuclear war, to deliberately destroy America and Western Europe. I hope I am wrong, but in crazy times like this, nothing would surprise me.
See, back in the first half of the 1940s there was this fairly big war that happened, the Germans left by then. But it was a pretty esoteric event, you probably never heard of it.
