At this point, it's all totally FUBAR. The conflict with Ukraine is no longer contained. NATO countries are flirting with Armageddon. Tom Lehrer, you're on.

Does Lithuania have an agreement with Russia over this rail connection?

I don’t think Lithuania did this of their own volition.

NATO wants war, that’s all that matters at this point.
Time to wrap myself up in the American flag and post anti-Putin memes I guess.

They actually have treaties with Russia and are in clear violation of them.

Two days ago, I didn’t know where Kalililiningrad was. Now I’m supposed to know the paperwork? It’s all in languages I don’t understand if there is an agreement, and if there was an agreement, it’s just been canceled.

Do you have a link to those treaties?

I’d like to read them for myself.

Thanks.

The question was to anyone who might know, not necessarily you, but since you made the original post, my post was to you.

Another needless provocation, most likely put forward by the US to get Russia to react in such a way as to get NATO involved. I wonder what they’ll do if Putin shuts off ALL the gas going to the EU in retaliation? They keep playing these games, but the only card they hold is NATO military involvement. And both Germany and France seem resistant to that idea.

I know. Just venting exasperation. I still am trying to figure out Ukraine, and now this comes along. Eastern Europe is the second most FUBAR region of the world. I live in the all-time champeen region of FUBAR-ness, but at least I understand it.

Just like the Lusitania.

Brandon needs his approval rating up. So he figures this’ll do it. High gas prices caused the conflict in Ukraine, not the other way around as he claims, but he can’t even take responsibility for that. So stir the pot. Stir the pot.
