In the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, in addition to fierce exchanges of fire on the battlefield. The flames of war outside the battlefield are no less generous. In order to suppress Russia in all aspects, the United States NATO has adopted various means, such as economic sanctions . The United States has led a group of allies to ban the import of Russian energy. At the recent G7 summit, they reached an agreement to impose sanctions on Russian gold. Import prohibited. In addition, there is a small European country that is also very active in "anti-Russia", it is Lithuania .
Recently, Lithuania suddenly jumped out and blocked Kaliningrad . This place is a Russian enclave. Lithuania shouted arrogantly that as long as it was from Russia, it would not be allowed to pass. By the way, Lithuania is a small country in Europe, with a total population of only 2.79 million. The military strength is not enough at all. The army combined cannot form one division, and the air force is left with only three old fighter planes. I wonder where the capital for his arrogance comes from?
And regarding Lithuania’s behavior, EU stood up immediately and clarified the relationship, saying that this was all Lithuania’s wishful thinking and that we, the EU, did not have any instructions. Anyway, we did not know from beginning to end. Since the EU is not Lithuania’s backer, who else is? It is the United States NATO. According to foreign media reports, on the eve of the NATO summit, NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg publicly stated that NATO will increase its military strength by 300,000, mainly deployed in areas around the Baltic Sea.
You must know that NATO’s military strength was only 40,000 before, which suddenly increased by 7 times. It seems that things are not simple. One country has benefited greatly from NATO's move, and that is Lithuania. After all, it is also a member of Eastern Europe, geographically located around the Baltic Sea. No wonder it dares to shout arrogantly against Russia, claiming that Russia does not dare to use force against it because it is a member of NATO. Now with the increase in NATO's military strength, this confidence is even stronger.
In addition, Lithuania also has a trump card, and that is the United States. Before the conflict broke out, Lithuania had been begging the United States to station troops on its territory. The United States is naturally eager for this move. In the past, when it stationed troops abroad, it was all about exchanging benefits or using force to coerce the other party. Now there are still people asking for it. What a pie in the sky. Therefore, now that Lithuania has two major backers, NATO and the United States, its tone of voice has changed.
In the current situation, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is at a critical moment. If another front is opened, it will be very detrimental to Russia. At present, the main thing is to get and Ukraine . This is what is urgent. In the face of NATO's increase in troops and Lithuania's clamor for a blockade, how to deal with these, this time Putin really encountered a problem. After all, once force is used against Lithuania, it will inevitably start fighting with the United States and NATO. Both sides are nuclear powers, and there is a high probability of three wars. How to break the situation will test Putin's wisdom this time.
