Kaliningrad is the new “Danzig”.

I wonder if this is a device to provide negotiation fuel to entice Russia to the table without sacrificing Ukrainian territory.

No Russian government could permit this.

Perhaps I’m wrong. I thought the word ‘blockade’ meant closing off another nation’s ports, an act of war. I don’t believe that Lithuania has made any move to do that to the Russian Kaliningrad.

They are restricting what enters and leaves their nation, which I thought nations were allowed to do. It is not as if Kaliningrad is landlocked. The E.U. has said that it will not allow transit of certain items into Russia. Lithuania is part of the E.U. I think it is required to follow E.U. rules.

Why didn’t Russia negotiate the neutrality of this rail sliver with Lithuania in the 1990s?

Well using Putin logic, Kaliningrad really isn’t part of Russia. They took it after WW2. Well the soviet union took it. So using the same logic they used to invade Ukraine, Russia should give up all claims to Kaliningrad.

I would fire missiles over the airspace of Lithuania. Curious to see how NATO would react.

Ask yourself now and enumerate our national interests in Lithuania. By the way, treaties are not national interests. They are often proposed, designed and implemented by globalist American traitors that care not about what is good for America.

Lithuania isn’t blockading anything, the EU has set trade restrictions on certain shipments, Lithuania is following them.

It’s dumb for neocons to poke the bear.
I just listened to the DPA update and they suggested that first thing that would happen if Russia struck was that Turkey would withdraw from nato.(abt min8 to min9) If that happened i hope the US would withdraw too.this is stupid

What Lithuania is doing is NOT a blockade. It is simply disallowing prohibited goods from crossing its territory. Non-prohibited goods can still traverse Lithuanian territory, and even the prohibited goods can still reach their destination via sea and air. What Lithuania is doing is not even remotely close to an act of war, which a REAL blockade could arguable be considered.

If war breaks out over this it is all on Russia that it came to pass.

The pro-Russia warmongers are trying to create a justification for Russia to attack a NATO member, as war between NATO and Russia very much seems to be what those warmongers desire.

Kaliningrad is a port city on the Baltic Sea.

This is like Canada “blockading” Alaska if the do not permit the U.S. to deliver certain goods from the U.S. mainland to Alaska over Canadian land.

This is not a real blockade.

Lithuania wouldn’t poke the (much) larger Russian bear without full backing from the Western elites. Why are the latter pushing for general or nuclear war? What is so important that they retain control of Ukraine?

Apparently I see something entirely different than many other folks who are posting here.

I think Europe is threatening this or that in order to facilitate negotiations. If they were planning to start a war, they would do stuff in secret.

All of Europe is making an effort to do the threat thing to limit Russian imperialism. That is hard because Russia holds the cards because Europe has to have Russian gas and oil.

Europe thinks they may be able to simultaneously threaten to add Sweden and Finland to the list of Russian adversaries in NATO; threaten northern Russian exports through Kaliningrad; leave Russia in delicate negotiations with Turkey over grain shipments from Ukraine while Turkey also controls the sea route that allows commodity shipments from the Russian south.

I think the idea of all of this is to think of anything they can to let Europe manage a Russia problem with less involvement from the U.S. European diplomats think they can do this.

We are entitled to doubt it.

Anyhow, I don’t think this is an effort to start a war. From Europe’s perspective there already is one. This is an effort by Europe to come out on top without somebody shooting off nukes.
