Russia Mulls Lithuania's 'Illegal' Independence From Moscow

Russia Mulls Lithuania's 'Illegal' Independence From Moscow

BRENDAN COLE    6/9/22 AT 4:36 AM EDT

A Russian lawmaker called for Lithuania's independence to be repealed, submitting a draft bill claiming the Baltic republic illegally left the Soviet Union more than three decades ago.

The proposed legislation was submitted to the Russian lower house, the Duma, on Wednesday by Yevgeny Fyodorov, a member of the ruling United Russia party.

In March 1990, Lithuania became the first republic to announce it intended to restore its independence from the disintegrating USSR, under whose control it had been for five decades after the Soviet army occupied it in 1940.

The Soviet authorities initially tried to stop the move, demanding it be canceled and imposing an economic blockade on the country.  .  .

This comes at the same time as Biden tosses Zelenskiy under the bus.  Putin is on a three year plan to recreate the USSR.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Putin is the modern day Adolph Hitler with his plans to reunify the former USSR.

I believe Lithuania is part of NATO.  What happens when he moves on Lithuania?  Should be interesting.

If it's a "minor Incursion", nothing.

Biden and his clown car of WOKE fools, are exactly precisely the wrong people to be handling America foreign affairs today. Things are heating up world wide. There will be a major war involving Russia and China before Biden is forced out of the White House.

With Blinken, Austin, Milley, Biden, Jill, and Kamala running the response, there is literally no way to predict what they may do. Based on their performance history I expect them to respond with the very worst thing they could possibly do.

Revoking Lithuania's independence from the USSR is a strategic pretense by creating a Russian land bridge to the Kaliningrad Oblast as well as geographically isolating Latvia and Estonia.  It's also a good test to see how willing the Western European nations are to commit to defending Eastern European NATO members.

That is a certainty.

1939 all over again.  Hitler did not think France and Britain would come to the aid of Poland.  They declared war.

Will Europe and the USA do the same with Putin?  I do not see us going to war with Russia.  They possess nuclear weapons and I see them using them.  And with so many billionaires wanting to take the global population down 90%, I can easily see a major nuclear weapon exchange.  Armageddon.
