Russia Responds to Idiotic Post From Top Lithuanian Ambassador About Crimean Bridge
Smaller Baltic states have been pushing for a war between NATO and Russia
Lithuania continues to provoke a war between the U.S. and Russia after its ambassador to Sweden posted a moronic message on X about the fate of the Crimean Bridge after the U.S. began providing Kyiv with its ATACMS.
“If someone hasn't had a chance to take a photo at the Kerch bridge, it's still time,” Linas Linkevicius, the ambassador, posted.
The thinly veiled threat prompted Dmitry Polyanskiy, Russia’s first deputy permanent representative to the UN to compare the post to Poland Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski’s earlier post thanking the U.S. for bombing Nord Stream.

“Looks like infamous (Sikorski) tweet on #Nordstream sabotage which he cowardly deleted later inspires servile Baltic US lapdogs. They rabidly bark now but they will pathetically whine later when the judgment day arrives and all such gaffes will be sth they will regret,” he posted. (STH is an abbreviation for something.)
The bridge is a top target for Ukraine because it is used to transport supplies to Russian forces on the peninsula.
TRENDPOST: If you read any story by Western media Presstitutes about Ukraine’s decision to bomb the Kerch Strait Bridge, they’ll refer to Crimea as “illegally annexed” by Russia in 2014.
Russia did not attack Crimea. And it would likely still be a part of Ukraine if the U.S. had not orchestrated a coup to overthrow the government of the democratically elected president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych.
No, Russia did not invade Crimea. The Russian military already had a presence there. Under a lease agreement (which doesn’t expire until 2047), negotiated when Russia granted independence to Ukraine, its Black Sea Fleet is based at Sevastopol port in Crimea.
However, Vladimir Putin did order more troops into Crimea as he feared the government takeover in Kyiv would provoke an attack.
It was Crimeans who voted overwhelmingly—by 95 percent—to rejoin Russia.
Crimea had been part of Ukraine only since 1954, when then-Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, a Ukrainian, designated it as such. In fact, Crimea has been part of Russia longer than the United States has been a country.
Jake Sullivan, the U.S. national security advisor, admitted last week that the U.S. has started providing Ukraine with its long-range missiles — even before Washington passed the $61 billion funding package.
Smaller Baltic states have been pushing for a war between NATO and Russia.
Kaja Kallas, the head of Estonia who has been one of the world’s biggest Russia hawks, said the NATO alliance — which she dreams of heading — should be open to officially entering the war by putting troops on the ground in Ukraine.
“We shouldn’t be afraid of our own power,” she told Sky News, according to RT. “Russia is saying this or that step is escalation, but defense is not escalation. I’m saying we should have all options on the table. What more can we do in order to really help Ukraine win?”
Sikorski has been one of the most bellicose European officials since the start of the Ukraine War, which makes sense since he’s married to anti-Russian journalist Ann Applebaum.
He, once again, called on NATO to beef up its military last week and said he envisions Poland playing a major role.
He said the West should not be afraid of a clash with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but rather the other way around.
“It is worth recalling this, not to increase Russians’ sense of threat, because NATO is a defense pact, but to show that an attack by Russia on any of the Alliance members would inevitably end in its defeat,” he said, according to The Associated Press. “Russia’s military and economic potential pales in comparison to that of the West. If we do not lack the will, Russia will lose. Putin’s only hope is our lack of determination.”
