Lithuanian President: The West has more than once succeeded in erasing Russia's "red lines"

As many experts previously suggested, if the West lifts at least one of the three bans (Tanks, aircraft, long-range missiles) regarding the supply of weapons to Kyiv, soon after that the remaining two may also “fall”.

So, as soon as the United States and its allies announced the transfer of NATO-style tanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the talk had already turned to fighters and missiles.



In particular, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda insists on the transfer of the latter to Kyiv. In his interview to the LRT TV channel, the politician said that the supply of the above types of weapons would be a significant support for the Ukrainian army. Therefore, in his words, this should not be delayed.

At the same time, Nausėda added that the West has more than once succeeded in erasing Russia's "red lines". For example, when Ukraine received the status of a candidate candidate for the EU and NATO... Therefore, according to the politician, Moscow's reaction to the supply of offensive weapons should not be feared.

Finally, the Lithuanian leader noted that his country had already provided assistance to Ukraine for hundreds of millions of euros. Meanwhile, Vilnius will continue to support Kyiv further.

Speaking of the last one. Just a few days after the West announced the supply of its tanks for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Zelensky's office announced that they would ask for planes and missiles.

Statements about the "red lines" sound ironically. But here is the case when, as they say, they themselves are to blame. Often, “red lines” are indicated only in words, but a tough response after they are crossed by the West and its Ukrainian puppet does not always follow.

            I already wrote that the "red line" is an English phraseological unit, which means "A line that no Russian can cross." Not an Englishman, not a German, not an Estonian, namely, a Russian. It’s just that they troll our politicians and journalists so much, so with the beginning of the NWO they returned this phraseological unit to international communicative circulation, realizing that no one remembers the true meaning.

            3. A dozen US javelins may be sold to Ukrainians - they will not make the weather.
            4. The United States delivered $39 million worth of javelins to Ukraine.

        Hi hi hi ! They don't have enough eraser when such warriors work -
        A Ukrainian drone spotted a Russian soldier in a snowy forest and dropped a grenade on him. At the same time, the Russian military was able to dodge, and when the drone went down to assess the damage, it was caught.
        Later on, the footage shows a Russian soldier with a tricolor on his sleeve and a large patch with a bear pattern on his bulletproof vest. The fighter broke off the screws from the quadcopter with his bare hands, then the video is interrupted.

      Strange, of course, in fact, the beginning of the NWO is the reaction to the crossing of the red line, kmk. So not everything is so simple (c) And the Balts (and the Poles with them) began to understand with horror what would happen to them after the victory of Russia, hence the amount of squealing and calls to defeat Russia. The Poles are at least trying to fight on their own (although with poor results, it’s not for nothing that their people were knocked out of the army), and the Balts - they can’t do anything on their own. Well, except for screaming, of course :)

        Now, when "they drew red lines and drew to the point that any mongrel is not afraid to open his mouth," no statements, promises and threats from our military-political leadership (VPR) will no longer work. The whole West has already decided - the guts of the Russian VPR are thin, they are afraid ...
        Now only demonstrative flogging ... And there is no need to ask "Are we ready for war with NATO, etc., etc.?" It's too late... We must ask ourselves the question "Are the NATO countries ready for war with Russia?" Apparently, our VPR believes that they are ready, but we are not ... Therefore, it swallows and wipes off ... and waits for something ...
        IMHO This is another mistake ... Over the past 15 years until today, the GDP in relations with the West had only continuous mistakes (with the exception of the decision to start the NWO), he continues to make them IMHO "They deceived the fool into four fists" (quote from GDP ).

      First of all, the West and the "little things" from the Baltic states do not care about the "red lines" for a reason - Russia was crushing, in comparison with Europe that also fought, THREE TIMES LESS PEOPLE, and this is for 104 years the atheists have been in power at the prayer place in the Kremlin. They put Ulyanov-Lenin in the Kremlin like a cuckoo, and since then centrifugal force has been rushing from there! This has never happened in the history of Rus'. And the empire was created by Peter 1 - everything is simple - he left the Kremlin and built a city for officials away from prayer places. Such a decision affected material well-being, plus the population of Rus' began to increase fantastically, Ros. the empire became a "magnet" for other peoples and a threat to the greatness of the Anglo-Saxons. And now they didn’t give a damn about us, half as much as the United States has become, and united Europe also looks at us as a huge and empty bubble. Nuclear weapons only stop the enemy ... for how long?
      Everything will change if officials are removed from the place of prayer, if the Kremlin is left for the priests to pray to the Lord, slowly but surely it will change for the good of Russia.

      I may say an unpopular thing here, but - in fact, it is indisputable that in December the Russian Federation put forward an ultimatum to the West regarding the advancement of NATO to the borders of Russia.
      NATO rejected this very ultimatum.
      And Russia responded with the beginning of the NWO. Despite all the understanding of the possible consequences.

      But all the other "red lines", such as the supply of tanks or the supply of fighter aircraft, are also, of course, red lines, but of a tactical level.

      The real red lines should include what directly threatens the existence of the Russian Federation, for example, the supply of strike weapons to Ukraine with a radius of destruction up to the MSC. Or the supply of nuclear weapons to Ukraine. Or the introduction of NATO forces into Eastern Ukraine.

      Therefore, I believe that Russia will not allow anyone to cross the true red lines (not those that are those in the minds of mega-experts).
      For one simple reason - in order to preserve statehood and power. And not because of the great love for the citizens of Russia. We can afford to lose millions of people to save us as a nation. We've been through this before.
      But we can't lose everyone and everything.
      That's why Putin said: "Why do we need a world without Russia?" Thus voicing what will happen to the whole world in the event of the fall of Russia.

      By God, it's funny to read about the red lines. And in general to demand from Americans and Europeans respect for the interests of Russia. When the USSR was at the peak of its power, then there were red lines and respect and fear, and in general the interests of the USSR were taken into account.
      Well, now, when there is no longer a trace of the former power, instead of a normal country they built some kind of feudalism with estates, everything is robbed by oligarchs, everyone is stealing, the army made an ostentatious show for parades and celebrations of Victory Day - about what respect for the Russian interests and red lines can we talk at all? This is the answer to the question: why is Iran respected and feared in the West, while Russia is treated in the West as some kind of African tribe? Instead of Iran, you can put Turkey or China.
