So what?
The REAL issue goes back to the EU declaring sanctions on Russia. Lithuania is an EU member, and has to comply with the EU sanctions.
Of course, they could defy the EU, but then they could “lose” their spot in the generous EU (German) handouts to the Republic.
Don’t blame Lithuania. Blame the haughty Uro-peeings in Brussles.
See post 37.
More of the “We/us”. He is Not an American.
All the lying is why I call him a Dirty RuZZian.
Dirty RuZZian.
Ukraine is considered one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Our politicians have gotten rich off their Ukrainian deals, including the family members of those pushing this war.
It makes sense that Lithuania holds resentment towards Russia because of USSR's treatment after WWII, but they should sit this one out.
This is an interesting read on Ukraine:

So no war
Russia can always end this war, remove their forces from all of Ukraine including Crimea, stop making threats at everyone who doesn’t agree with them, and then maybe we can get back to a semblance of normal.
In any case Russia no longer calls the shots in Eastern Europe and they damn well better get used to that fact.
I disagree. Russia has shown that it is willing and able to project force and level cities to the ground and that makes other countries pay attention.
“Russia has shown that it is willing and able to project force and level cities to the ground and that makes other countries pay attention.”
They are making other countries pay attention. That much is true. From today’s news:
>>> The United Kingdom’s Army Chief Sir Patrick Sanders said that British troops “must prepare to fight in Europe” as the Russia-Ukraine war rages on.
“There is now a burning imperative to forge an Army capable of fighting alongside our allies and defeating Russia in battle,” Sir Patrick said, writing to his charges after he took over his new post on Monday, according to The Independent. “We are the generation that must prepare the Army to fight in Europe once again.” <<<
The Soviets for now can still reach Kaliningrad via the former Baltic Sea which is now better known as “Lake NATO”.
Belarus isn’t so fond of Soviet Russia, either. Notice how they didn’t care to get involved in Pooty’s effort to seize control of Ukraine?
To the contrary, looks like Lukashenko realized that his country was also in Putin’s crosshairs and he kept his troops and gear at home better to defend against a an invasion by the scumbag Russians.
