Border guards at Lithuania’s Kybartai railway checkpoint stopped a train from Kaliningrad, Russia, from entering their nation on Monday because it was adorned with Soviet symbols.

Windows in the chartered train were plastered with posters of Soviet symbols, which are illegal in Lithuania. They’re illegal because Lithuania—like the nation of Ukraine—was part of the Soviet Union for decades, and suffered under ussr oppression.

“It was a terrible 50 years for us in Lithuania,” Sara Linkevičiūtė, a resident of Vilnius, told theTrumpet.com on May 14. “Citizens were deported to Siberia for genocide,” she said, explaining that she and her compatriots would do whatever is necessary to prevent Lithuania from returning to its dark Soviet chapter.

The train is filled with blank russian passports and citizenship papers. Phase one of Putins MO is to magically create “Russians” in need of protection.

There are more Poles than Russians.

The Eastern part of Lithuania was Polish up to 1939, including Wilno (Vilnius)

Nothing that a good long Gun Run wouldn't solve:

One thing you can bet on, even with Reagan, was you'd never see that engaging Soviet owned and controlled assets.

You mean Lithuania was occupied by Poland. ;)

The National Cemetary in Vilnius (Wilno) has a really interesting area of Polish military graves. I'll see if I can find a photo. (It also has a Soviet military section, and as my guide pointed out to me, the "eternal" flame there is extinguished).

The A-10 image was expedient. I couldn't find an image of a Lithuanian ground-attack aircraft on short notice! :)

Although this might be one:

Anbo VIII

The ANBO VIII was a low-wing monoplane with a tailwheel landing gear, an enclosed two-seat tandem cockpit and powered by a 930 hp (694 kW) Bristol Pegasus XVIII radial engine.[2] The prototype and only ANBO VIII was first flown on 5 September 1939 and was still under test when the country was annexed by the Soviet Union, the prototype was removed by the Soviet authorities for testing.
