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.

They have a treaty with Russia to allow goods to transit.

The guys at The Duran weren't exaggerating when they said over and over that the neocons have no reverse gear.

Europe is paying 36 bucks per mmbtu for LNG that they don't have enough terminals to receive to replace Russian pipeline natgas at 6 bucks a mmbtu.

“They are restricting what enters and leaves their nation, which I thought nations were allowed to do.”

There is a written treaty addressing that. They are abrogating it. The other part of the treaty is that Russia recognized their independence.

No a ‘blockade’ means the same thing on land
