Lithuania just started blockading the Kaliningrad Region, a russian enclave between Lithuania and Poland, citing “EU sanctions”. Now no trains or trucks carrying commercial goods are allowed to go to Kaliningrad Region from Mainland Russia. Russia warned Lithuania of “serious consequences” if they continued this, saying that their response “will have a serious negative impact on the lithuanian people”. Shits getting real.
Indeed. So they can do all that, AND paint themselves as a “scrappy underdog, fighting against big evil bad tidal wave of authoritarian evil”, thanks to having an absolute chokehold on the media (internet included).
