Apparently, in Lithuania there’s nothing more to talk about, and at least some kind of news and Lithuania are a bit of a rumor and even opposing the aggressor, so you look and earn a penny Dale for new underpants.

In Lithuania, apparently there’s nothing more to talk about ..

I imagine how “partners,” God forgive me, howl when the level of activity rises to the level of the Cold War. The Russian Federation will be accused of not allowing NATO pilots to get enough sleep
But the Lithuanian "political" "elites" are really more comfortable than scary stories about the Russian Federation’s activity in the Baltic region, otherwise don’t bring the Lord we’ll have to think how to solve the real problems of the country: demography, depopulation, the economy ... and here Russia is very convenient.

No dear , they had pride when the locals of these "defenders" beat in Šiauliai for being impudent in the streets. The leadership of the base was forced to create a whole military police unit: to protect the "defenders". And now like this: a miserable likeness, but full pants

[polpot]

What happiness for the Lithuanian people

[System]

The Baltic states are boiling water when NATO aircraft rises from their airfields! Although they should be well aware that they will not be able to confront Russia with 10 planes, and whether NATO will go to the defense of the Baltic countries in which case is not at all obvious.
Such an emotional masochism!

You should have seen the delight when, many years ago, they allowed NATO transport workers to use their airspace and opened ports for ships with nuclear warheads. Joy was uuu ... Only here the question of where this aircraft will fly through them and whose ships from the yas can be near their ports - could not answer

[Simon]

Fly for the time being! It will be hot SU-35 will appear - disappear. While doing window dressing.

While they are writing how our SU-35s will appear, and better than the SU-57s, they will be written in trousers! Pampers aren’t enough.
