Pap you were just saying legality doesnât matter as some donât observe it, so is it important or not?
Iâm saying it is and bringing in Blair to try to counter Putin is batshit stupid.
And interestingly itâs only approx 50% of goods - those that are sanctioned - and currently not even that figure.
Funny how these thing elicit knee-jerk reactions.
Yes, but itâs a total pain in the arse and also, that great big sea didnât help Germany during the starvation blockades of 1919.
Speculation from a Kaliningrad based journalist in a Russian National tabloid regarding 5 actions Russia might feasibily take.

Autotranslation:
Revocation of recognition of Lithuanian independence . The idea to recognize as illegitimate the secession of the Baltic republics from the USSR has been in the air since September 5, 1991, when this secession took place, reminds Alexander Nosovich. Gorbachevâs unconstitutional State Council had no right to take decisions of such a level as revising the borders of the Soviet Union and cutting off territories from it. This is a legal fact. By the way, State Duma deputy Yevgeny Fedorov recently introduced a corresponding bill.
Exit from the agreements with the EU on Lithuania . As recalled by Dmitry Rogozin, who in 2002-2003 led negotiations on this between Moscow and Brussels, Russia recognized the borders of the Republic of Lithuania in exchange for guarantees of uninterrupted transit of Russian citizens and Russian cargo from Kaliningrad and to Kaliningrad. Thanks to this recognition, Lithuania was able to join the EU and NATO.
Russiaâs demand to return Klaipeda . If Brussels today withdraws from its part of the agreements, then Moscow withdraws from its own. âThe consequences for Lithuania, the EU and NATO could be very far-reaching,â explains Nosovich. - Let me remind you at least that by the decision of the Potsdam Conference following the results of World War II, Memel, like Koenigsberg, was transferred from Germany to the Soviet Union, and not any of its parts. It was only later that Stalin, by his internal decision, transferred Koenigsberg to the RSFSR, and it became Kaliningrad, and Memel gave the Lithuanian SSR, and it became Klaipeda. Modern Russia is the legal successor of the USSR, that is, the post-Soviet borders of Lithuania are determined by it. And if the European Union violates the agreements that guarantee these borders, then everything can happen to Lithuania ⊠"
Creation of the âSuwalki corridorâ . By introducing a virtual transport blockade of the Kaliningrad region, Vilnius âknocked out the chairâ on which he had been sitting all these years as an EU member state, said Andrey Klimov, a member of the Federation Council. The unacceptable behavior of Lithuania, which has restricted transit to the Kaliningrad region, he warns, puts NATO at risk. âThe European Union, if it does not immediately correct the impudent exit of Vilnius,â the parliamentarian believes, âwill itself disavow for us the legitimacy of all documents on Lithuaniaâs membership in the EU and will untie its hands to solve the problem of Kaliningrad transit created by Lithuania by any means we choose.â
The most radical way, as experts have long believed, is the creation of the âSuwalki Corridorâ - a land passage between Lithuania and Poland with a length of about 100 km, which could connect the territory of Belarus with the Kaliningrad region of Russia. It is clear what this step would mean - a war with NATO.Disconnection of Lithuania from the energy system . This would be Moscowâs most painful economic response to Vilniusâ hostile move. BRELL is an energy ring uniting Belarus, Russia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The Balts have long been declaring their desire to leave it, fully merging into the EU energy systems. Officially announced that this will happen in 2025. However, the energy transition to Europe faces significant difficulties, so the Baltic countries are still heavily dependent on Russian electricity. Disconnecting Lithuania from BRELL ahead of schedule is guaranteed to create very serious problems for its economy and the life of the population. For Kaliningrad, such a step does not pose any threat - the region has already disconnected from BRELL twice in a test order and tested offline operation.
Another action Russia could take is punish Ukraine harder for the actions of its allies.
Theyâre planted Russians there anyway, its not Russian. They could always go home, it would save an awful lot of bother.
Russia asking for more land is laughable, the cunts havenât returned parts of Finland or Kuril Islands.
Youâre always looking for problems, look for solutions manâŠ
You canât solve shit without understanding the problem. In fact, any effort to solve shit without understanding the problem makes things worse.

Burkina Faso wants NATO out and Russia in.
Yes to slaughter civilians, good one, will the Chechens volunteer for this one?
Itâs on Twatter. Do you not even consider, even the teeniest bit, that it has been staged?
Ask for Russia, get Wagner
Of course its been staged, who the fuck wants the Russian army in their backyard apart from despots and dictators? The people wonât, Schlong will screw himself answering about the Chechens as well.
I donât get why youâve gone off on a tangent topic about Chechenâs though. Apologies if Iâve missed something about the original post.

Because the Russians are wanted to fight the Muslim insurgents, akin to Yemen (conveniently forgotten by our resident Russian correspondent Schlong) and the Saudis, guess what faith the Chechens are?
Ah the politics of concession and allowance for fascists to thrive.
Any counter proposals that save us and the Ukrainians sovereign territory?
No, my question was about the actual post itself.
Was there some hidden text I didnât see. Thought we werenât supposed to go off topic -& extrapolate with no evidence from the OP 
Itâs about time some people focused their energies on the creeping fascism that is happening closer to home. Of course it canât be compared to Ukraine/Russia, but give it time if itâs allowed to continue unopposed.
