Even if true, it's utterly irrelevant to the geopolitics of the Ukraine war.
You are truly historically ignorant ?The German invasion of Poland was for a much different reason.
The US is still immensely powerful, though poorly led. Russia is much weaker right now than its been in many years - and its poorly led.
And China is not yet in any position to make war.
Our “allies” are actually our enemies now.
> Without question this is a deliberate provocation and casus belli. <
I assign 95% of the blame for the Ukrainian war squarely on Putin. NATO, the USA, the EU, etc. did some stupid things. But it was Putin who got the tanks rolling.
Having said that, you are absolutely correct here. Lithuania’s actions can only make things worse. There is no up-side.
You mean when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Vindeman is a scumbag. That doesn’t mean that everyone else who sides with Ukraine shares his scumbag qualities.
The culture wars are very relevant to international geopolitics.
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.
Read Sun Tzu—winning wars is about preparing all elements of the battlefield, including morale of the fighting forces.
Our military has terrible morale—and all the hardware in the world can’t fix that.
Lithuania is our ally?
What do we get out of that “alliance?”
“Even if true, it’s utterly irrelevant to the geopolitics of the Ukraine war.”
It is 100% relevant.
Well, siding with Ukraine does not necessarily make you a scumbag. But all scumbags are siding with Ukraine.
Alcoholic Baltic trash troublemakers.
Its not going to be a long drawn out war, if it even comes to it. Russia is simply out of reserves with which to fight such a ground war. It will take it years to recover from Ukraine and, moreover, to make its reserve system function.
I see. Anyone who opposes Russia is subhuman I guess.
What are you?
Then let the Russians rebuild the port. It is not Lithuania's responsibility to provide adequate port resources. There is also access by air.
Wow. More nuclear threats.
Lithuania is enforcing sanctions. If your scumbag Soviet friends don’t like it then they can ship things via the Baltic. In any case Vilnius no longer takes orders from Moscow.
What am I?
A human…you?
Agreed. Bunch of damned traitors these mutts.
Still packing Bidens back door hey.
