The little “spat” that could ignite WW III. Might there be a Russian archduke in Kaliningrad that an anarchist could assassinate?

RuZZia is too weak to fight WW III.

They can’t even get their car industry back up and running.

Why do I have the notion that Lithuania is doing as told by the US?
Per Neocon warmongers, I’m apparently a Communist…

Russia is still free to ship down the Baltic from St. Petersburg

and Russia has no interest in fighting NATO now

so this “spat” will fade away ... except in the Russian trolls minds

Should be a full embargo, including a naval blockade.

I see a *complete* blockade in their future. Nothing in. Nothing out.

I’m not sure, but if a NATO member starts a war, the other members are not obligated to defend it. Blockades are acts of war.

The US and NATO are certainly working hard in that direction.
It is almost like they want a war...

I’ve got a bit of time on my hands, as I’m waiting for a delivery. So I think I’ll do a rough risk/reward calculation here. Of course, I could be way off.

Risk that this partial blockade will cause Russia to escalate things: 3/10
Reward, that this blockade will cause Russia to improve its behavior: 0/10

So it looks like this was not a good move by Lithuania. But who knows who is pulling Lithuania’s strings behind the scenes?

The attack on the gas platforms yesterday, an attack on a refinery this morning, and now this escalation. Desperately begging for a military response from Russia.

So far, the russians are sticking with their plan. And judging from these provocations, it must be working.
