“ triggered the Germans to invade Poland”

FR has now moved past Soviet propaganda to actual NAZI propaganda. Good job.

What has happened is that our side has given the other side good reasons to hate us, and worse, given them strong motivation to fight to the death to preserve their culture against Western perverts.

Russia can hate us all they want but that is not a justification for invasion. If they wish to preserve their culture against Western perverts then let them pass the appropriate laws within their own territories. What goes on in Ukraine is none of their business.

There are many pro-Russian elements here complaining about this being a surrogate war but it is the pro-Russians themselves who have made it such. They are supporting an unjustified Russian invasion into Ukraine in order to fight their own war against the New World Order. But that is not why Russia invaded, rather it is just Putin's attempt to re-establish his vision of an Imperial Russian world order.

It is propaganda. A propaganda line to be exact, adopted and propagated deliberately by the home office. There is a long, long history of this, of organized political lies.

It is insincere, at best.

What is there, like 5 useful idiots of FR?

They just have nothing better to do. Definitely not bots.

The irony of conservatives watching 6 years of Antifa flying the sickle and hammer and squealing “Nazi’s” as a pretext for assault, and now they do the same? Either it’s the traumatic bonding rape victims undergo, or they are bots.

Why do stupid things when you can just annex Lithuania?

And then Estonia, then Latvia, then Finland, then Poland, then Romania, etc., etc., etc., etc. There is a reason that NATO exits and you are seeing it. Does Russia, or you, really think that Russia could win a war against NATO?

Putin has said he is fighting a war against Western pervert values—you can choose not to believe him if you wish.

I believe him.

Are any of these nations plan to engage in similar provocations?

Blockade is an act of war.


Generally, no, but in this case there was a specific treaty and the very existence of the Lithuanian state was preconditioned on the transit rights.

So we should not be too surprised if a certain small country would cease to exist or gets reduced in size — for the glory of 10%, of course.

It’ll be brief. Russia either takes the humiliation, or commits nuclear murder/suicide.

The are done as a nation either way......and so is the progressive movement Regan orphaned.

Dig a fallout shelter (3’ of soil ontop). Grow a victory garden, and teach the upcoming generation our history.... without Howard Zinn....and with he value of rule of law.

Stop being scared of bullies, they must be confronted if you value those things.

I have been “figuring it out” for much longer than that.
The world has a lot of players with both parallel and divergent interests.

The enemy of your enemy is not likely to be your friend. And a close enemy tends to obscure perspective vs a distant one.

And, a good maxim to keep in mind, personalities really dont count. Interest groups are collectives.

ME, MBA, originally in aerospace manufacturing, later “Energy”, broadly speaking - really instrumentation and control systems, retired.

I see you are already making your usual valuable contribution of calling people names. Unfortunately, this situation isn’t sports or the movies. There are real consequences for real people in what is being done by Lithuania, which is certainly not taking this action without the instigation of the Biden administration. If you want to cheer on the incompetent, criminal assortment of buffoons that Biden has around him, why not just admit you think Dementia Joe, the WEF, and Klaus Schwab are pointing the world towards a brighter future just as they did by concocting the Covid fraud? Be sure to get lots of boosters, and don’t forget to double mask while you are watching cable TV drinking your Ensure.

You still need to study the accuracy of your history.

Well, what really infuriates them is that we appear to be weak, fractious societies with far too great a tolerance for moral perversion, but we are still stronger than they are.

It's that juxtaposition of apparent moral weakness and comparative strength that drives them crazy. To them we have a position that they think we do not deserve. It's a kind of envy.

Blockade is an act of war.

Interdicting shipping on the high seas might be considered an act of war - but closing the borders of your country to foreign cargo, i.e., not allowing transit through your own territory of foreign goods is most certainly allowed under International Law.

Regards,
