British press: Lithuania is not afraid to fight China and Russia

The EU states have a lot to learn from Vilnius. As an example for most European countries, including EU leaders Germany and France, little Lithuania is not afraid to fight both China and Russia.

This opinion was expressed by British columnist Edward Lucas on the pages of The Times. He admires Lithuania's politics, urging EU countries to learn from Vilnius and follow its example.

In particular, Lucas mentions the demand for China by the head of the Foreign Ministry of this small but very proud country, Gabrielus Landsbergis. He said that the representatives of Beijing should meet at summits not with 17 EU countries, but with all 27. This allegedly will not allow China to use the ancient "divide and rule" technique towards the Europeans. Moreover, Vilnius is causing Beijing's anger and irritation by developing relations with Taiwan.

Not less insolently, the British press notes, Lithuania behaves with Moscow as well. In recent years, this Baltic state has become a haven for a large number of Russian oppositionists, including those disposed to the official authorities of the Russian Federation with obvious hostility.

William Stewart, one of the readers, in a commentary on Lucas's article in The Times, suggested why Lithuania is behaving so cockily towards such major world powers as Russia and China.

It is easy to be brave when you are a NATO member and believe that the West will protect you from any potential enemies.

- He wrote.

At the same time, Stewart noted that hopes for the support of the allies may not be justified. In particular, this happened with Poland in 1939, which in vain counted on help from Great Britain and France in the event of an attack by Germany.

Lithuania is not afraid to fight both China and Russia.

Little Heroes
We will triple our efforts
we will arrange the construction,
And we will go through the iron formation
the day before the battle.

Let it not seem at times
that it will be easy to fight -
We are brave heroes
very short.
We are brave heroes
very short.

And the enemies are a mountain by a mountain,
they look past us tiredly.
They are not heroes at all
but huge as rocks.

And cold as ice
do not fight, but miss.
We would have defeated them all
only they don't notice us.

They just don’t notice us
due to the difference in size,
And therefore they forgive
very small but bold.

Well, okay Lithuania, everything is really clear with her, there have been no adequate ones in power for 30 years, but once again we are convinced of the insidious nature of Great Britain, which, as befits an experienced instigator, causes exorbitant ambitions in some in order to play them off with others and with this very stay away.
"Englishwoman", as always, crap Russia.

Well, with Russia, that's understandable. As Ostap Bender said: "Abroad will help us ...". That's what they expect ...
But HOW is a very small but VERY Proud Lithuania going to fight China? WHERE is Lithuania and WHERE is China!

[Vladimir Mashkov]

Who-who is fighting whom? Lithuania with China and Russia? No, well, the fact that, on orders from Washington or London, the mini-brew barks furiously, spits in the direction of China and Russia, digs the ground with its paws - I know. And that which "fights" - no. If the animal tried to fight, we would have lit a candle for it long ago and ordered a funeral one!

[Shurik70]

a similar thing happened with Poland in 1939, which in vain counted on help from Great Britain and France in the event of an attack by Germany

The territory of Poland was needed by Hitler. Stalin needed a part of Poland.
It is clear that if tanks enter Lithuania, the troops will immediately surrender. Nobody will stand up for them. That's just THEN it will be necessary to feed the population the size of a quarter of Moscow. Invest in a loss-making economy. Keep troops to burn out the gangs
THE TERRITORY OF LITHUANIA IS NOT NEEDED BY ANYONE.

An old and feeble toothless British lion praises the tame, very "warlike" and "formidable" Tribaltic tigers!)))))))) Just to fall and not get up from a fit of rolling laughter from such "analytics" of the British uchony iksperd !!!

It's not so long!

[NIKN]

Ay pug, know she is strong, if she barks at an elephant ...

[codexgigas]

This is Lucas Lithuanian, there is no smell of English there))) That is why he blathers. And as for the politicians of Lithuania, as a resident of Vilnius, I will say that our people consider them idiots.

[Anachoret]

It doesn't matter whose member Lithuania thinks it is) it is important that the elephants it barks don't care about it)) but if China or Russia has an interest in Lithuania) no eggs will come up to defend this daring, but stupid member))

[Thrifty]

And what will Lithuania do if the armies of Russia and China surrender en masse? Themselves then also surrender to their captives?

[kristofer]

the tobacco jackal was also at times impudent and courageous. and those proud Balts who are not afraid to fight, in the case of a big nix, will also not be afraid, but outside their homeland

[YOU]

So they tell them about it in plain text. Think of Poland in 1939.

[dimy44]

If the British observer had read Krylov (Elephant and Pug), at least something would have reached him.

[YOU]

Straight from the tongue they took off "Oh Pug, to know she is strong, if she barks at an elephant"

[credo]

Quote: dimy44

If the British observer had read Krylov (Elephant and Pug), at least something would have reached him.

If in terms of prudence - this is unlikely.
The only thing this scribbler could learn is that to bait an elephant, you need not a single pug, but dozens or hundreds of pugs. By the way, England is doing just that, setting all sorts of mosques located along the perimeter of the borders with Russia into a conflict with Russia in order to once again arrange a hysteria in the controlled media about how big Russia offends small mosques for nothing.

[URAL72]

Yes, the example of Poland was forgotten by the lymtrophs. Well, let them at least remember that they were also guaranteed support before the Second World War. By the way, the United States did not recognize the inclusion of the Baltic states in the USSR, but this did not affect their relationship. The ambassador should be recalled from there.

[igorra]

I would have looked at them when China ordered a transit railway to transport troops to the border of a small, but such a proud and fearless country.

[DIM (a)]

In addition to "Pride" there is nothing else to trade ...

And where is the battle, You can praise! But money for the fence, and 1 billion euros of losses in the budget cannot be given. The first time I see England in the person of Tobaki. In one word, the Baltic tiger !!!

[HAM]

There is only one reason for insolence, and this is not even the illusory support of NATY --- the Labuses know that neither Russia nor China pay attention to the poor ...
I wonder where they "fight" with us?

[Romario_Argo]

Apparently the Tribalts are also conducting command and staff exercises, against our 1st Tank Army
(this is even without the 11th AK and the 6th army)
the result of the exercises.
Baltic armies cease to exist in 5 hours
Poles had 5 days

[silver169]

Ay, Pug! Know she's strong ...

[Ruslan Sulima]

The British press needs to worry about something else

[Garist Pavel]

Wow)) ... she seems to be strong that barks at an elephant ..))

[Tarasios]

Duc Balts firmly believe that "the West will protect." And an aggressive formidable yapping is a condition of this very defense. By the way, this is purely my observation. I have been living in the village for three years now. Around the dogs, of course, there is darkness: in every yard, and often there are several. So what is interesting: healthy, large dogs (something on the topic of shepherds) very rarely bark for no reason, well, except that you walk past the protected yard, but very rarely - in minutes of dog "roll calls". But almost around the clock barking, whining and yapping "to nowhere" literally two or three of the smallest, cowardly mongrels (well, plus one young puppy, he is supposed to whine by age). Here they run out on the road as a specialist, ply between the courtyards and are filled with menacing barking. My dog ​​(medium size) after a couple of kicks very quickly lost interest in canine swinging;)
And yes, by experience I have determined that even such "uncompromising" dogs have very good hearing and thinking skills. Three times, with small rubble, I zasadali in the direction of "barkers", so now even at night, in the dark, as soon as you open the door of the house (not even a gate yet!), These menacing barkers hide behind a couple of yards at a moment and sit quietly for half an hour or an hour.
PySy: I'm a programmer, I'm used to working at night. It's hot, the windows are open. And these unreasonable concerts completely get me.

The guy is crazy or scoffing ??? He would remember the saying about "the elusive cowboy Joe" and think, why is he so elusive ???

It was he who launched a new anecdote - subtle British humor ...

[rocket757]

No, no, let them use their "humor" themselves. We do not need it from him, in short.

[cniza]

Their humor died, died long ago, and they hope that they will rise ...

[Uma palata]

My neighbor had a dog, a toy terrier by nationality. The size of a cat. Brave! Sits on Natasha's breasts under her blouse, whom she sees next to her and she has such terrible teeth at once. Not at Natasha's, at the dog's. Sometimes he is so frightened, shakes her so that her breasts are shaking. Natasha's, not the dog's.
And both scream - so, aaaaa, rrrrr. Each in its own language, but it is clear that they scare us. And just now, Vovka L., a neighbor, he broke up with his woman, wants to eat, I'm tired of stew. Says, hear, neighbor, let me touch it and points to the dog with a finger.
Natasha gave it.
Now he does not know what to do with this dog, the place is taken on the chest.
Thought to take ..? Eats a little, but re-sounds! Have taken.
And who will take Lithuania? We already have a dog.

[akarfoxhound]

It is not even clear which of these two is more debilitating - Edward Lucas or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania

[Incvizitor]

This territory will simply fall under the new owners, they don't care who they please.

There was a joke at one time: A plane with a delegation from Lithuania arrives at Sheremetyevo, the foreign minister with two portfolios, opens the first one, takes out a document and reads "Lithuania declares war on Russia," then opens the second and reads "Lithuania is writing an act of unconditional surrender." The entire delegation stretches out its hands - "We surrender."

Of course, why be afraid of a small toy country. She's not real. Here, as they say, the bug is small, but smelly.

The authors are not familiar with the work of I.A. Krylov.

[Retvizan 8]

You are absolutely right !
This and Pug can be praised for the "belligerent rhetoric against the elephant."

[APASUS]

“We sing glory to the madness of the brave! The madness of the brave is the wisdom of life! Brave Falcon! In battle with enemies you bled out ... But there will be time - and drops of your blood, hot, like sparks, will flash in the darkness of life and many brave hearts will kindle with an insane thirst for freedom and light! Let you die! .. But in the song of the brave and strong in spirit, you will always be a living example, a call to the proud to freedom, to light!

They walk too fast, their pants would not be torn ........ Finland has chosen the position of a bridge between the EU and the Russian Federation, in my opinion one of the most decent living standards. Lithuania has chosen the position of the victim. Let's see how this affects the lives of citizens

[Moskovit]

Lithuania will not have to fight with anyone. The population there during the period of freedom decreased by 25%. The country is rapidly becoming a nursing home. Wait a little longer and there will be no one to fight there.

[Retvizan 8]

"He admires Lithuania's politics" ...
Admires ?!
All the militant rhetoric of Lithuania can be summed up in one capacious saying: Make a sound, do not roll bags.

[tihonmarine]

It is easy to be brave when you are a NATO member and believe that the West will protect you from any potential enemies.

It's easy to be a mongrel and bark at passersby from behind a fence.
And in Russian it sounds simpler - "Small bug but stinking!"

[demo]

In recent years, this Baltic state has become a haven for a large number of Russian oppositionists, including those disposed to the official authorities of the Russian Federation with obvious hostility.
Only I am surprised by the fact that the country turned into a cesspool suddenly became an example for all other countries - members of NATO and the EU.
What is the meaning of such a policy?
Wait until the moment when they really get angry at you, they really intend to slap you?

[sanya_sergant]

And so, we have a battle:
Lithuania vs Russia with China!
Lithuania will hold out for 3 minutes!
We make bets.
The lot is withdrawn, there are no bids.

British press: Lithuania is not afraid to fight China and Russia

He only knows that the history of the Lithuanian authorities has taught nothing. And woe to those who do not know and do not learn from history.

Well yes...
In self-awareness, we are:

But in reality:

A country with a population of 2,6 million demands something from a country that will soon have 1,5 billion ...

It reminds me of a barking mongrel from under a fence.
She barks and knows that she is safe behind the fence ...

The first post is a masterpiece!
For Lithuania, fighting both China and Russia is all one thing to put its head under a hammer or on an anvil.

[Ros 56]

I didn’t think that by the 21st century small-shavens are so grinded both financially, and even more so mentally.
And the Lithuanian Pug, yes, barks loudly, like her relative at an elephant.

[gloomy]

And how they fight, how they fight. The army fits into a freight elevator of a nine-story building and how many victories.

[Tarasios]

I rummaged in the Internet for the armed forces of Lithuania ... Gentlemen, I am ashamed to quote these data here, it would be simply indecent in relation to such a formidable power: (Better yourself;)

[Evgenijus]

Today Lithuania is at war with exotic states. More than 2000 people who crossed the border of Lithuania were taken "prisoner". In the centers where they are kept, the prisoners are well fed. They, these prisoners, return thermos from under food to the workers of these centers, shit there and fill it with urine.

Interestingly, Lithuania, under the strict guidance of small-shavens, is going to fight China and Russia at the same time, or still "will sort it out with each of them separately.

Yes, let him fight, so long as she does not bite, otherwise she will have to be put to sleep.
