BBC News: Reports " Russia has warned Lithuania of "serious" consequences after it banned the rail transfer of some goods to the Russian territory of Kaliningrad. "
Lets Get Real:
Let's recall that Lithuania is part of the EU and NATO, the EU sanctions are the reason that Russian goods cannot go through Lithuania to get to Kalingrad. This story has been around for a FEW DAYS, but this blog does not actually like speculation, in till something happens. The thought that Russia would take action against Lithuania is for the birds, Putin would never want to cause WW3 by attacking Lithuania or creating problems for it, as that would allow them to invoke Article 5 of NATO, an attack on one is an attack on all. On the other hand this blog did not think that Putin would invade the Ukraine, and of course he did in February of this year. Also Putin really wants to reform the band, e.g the USSR or Imperial Russia, and a major crisis would force Biden to have a CRISIS Summit with Putin, the Russian leader wants to return to the era when the two powers decided the futures of Nations, or 1938. This is why POTUS has to arm the KYIV to the hilt, whatever they want, he cannot be seen as WEAK when dealing with the Russians. Still as stated this blog thinks this story goes nowhere, the costs could be to much for Putin's Russia.
