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.

        Lithuania, although it would suck if they got dragged into another war just to keep the NATO vultures and useful idiots at bay. You’re Russian, right? What do you think?

          Apologies for late reply (life got in the way). What I think is that some comrades here are beeing too enthusiastic and gleeful about the prospect of Russian Government choosing a forceful (military) approach. Because Lithuania is still very much a NATO member. And I really don’t think it’s as much of a paper tiger as we would have liked. Even if nukes don’t start flying immediately, Lithuania (and other baltic states) quite likely have enough US missiles in them to start shelling Russian north-west - St. Petersburg for example. And even if US military will not intervene directly, NATO has more than enough eager members to do their dirty work for them - Poland for instance.

          So if shit hits the fan, and even IF that somehow doesn’t end with total nuclear annihilation of Earth, we’re still facing a lot of grim prospects: more NATO troops and equipment in Europe, devastating conflict in the region and mobilisation of Russian male population.
