MOSCOW, June 22 (Reuters) - A top Russian official warned the West on Wednesday to stop talking about triggering NATO's "Article 5" mutual defence clause in a standoff between Lithuania and Russia.

Moscow has promised practical retaliation that will affect Lithuania's population after the Baltic state blocked the transit of goods subject to EU sanctions from Russia to its Baltic exclave.

"I would like to warn Europeans against dangerous rhetorical games on the topic of conflict," the Interfax news agency quoted Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov as saying on Wednesday.

Article 5 doesn't actually require that any nation do anything. Each nation decides what to do, if anything.

Finally an adult that read Article 5.

Do you know what that little part of Article 5 is

Allies can provide any form of assistance they deem necessary to respond to a situation. This is an individual obligation on each Ally and each Ally is responsible for determining what it deems necessary in the particular circumstances.

This assistance is taken forward in concert with other Allies. It is not necessarily military and depends on the material resources of each country.

It's CATCH-22...... "That's some catch, that Catch-22," he observed. "It's the best there is," Doc Daneeka agreed.”

All under Biden’s watch. 50 yrs of being an armchair critic has sure paid off!

Actually I’m thinking of buying a 1.1 acre lot from a relative and building, but we’ll see. I’m thinking big lot small house so hopefully whatever it’s assessed at won’t be too bad. Need a bit of room to grow stuff just in case. ;-)

Yeah grow stuff. Great idea. Wood chips from the tree trimmers are very good for the soil.

If we don’t shut up, they’re going to nuke the urban populations in our largest cities. [Much talking ensues. Politicos in cities near our coasts tell us to shut up.]

What is happening to Ukraine, us and the west is karma.

We fomented a coup in Ukraine. We caused an eight-year civil war. We trained, funded and enabled neo-Nazis and Ukrainian nationalists to persecute and kill those of Russian ethnicity. We gave Ukraine offensive weapons and were running biolabs with deadly pathogens in them in UKraine. We started a sanction war that is hurting us more than Russia.

Russia is the bigger winner in this war. The Russians have the moral high ground. And, I have no doubt if God is anyone's side in this, it is the Russians.
