Peskov: The Lithuanian Foreign Minister's call to attack Kaliningrad borders on madness

The Baltic border states can't seem to calm down in their rabid, hostile anti-Russian rhetoric. They themselves are absolutely worthless militarily, but they count on the protection of other NATO countries if necessary. It's not a given that alliance members, even their neighbors, will be willing to fight for them, but the Estonians, Latvians, and Lithuanians apparently aren't even considering that.

Yesterday, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys issued yet another threat against Russia. The official, who can hardly be called a diplomat, called on the North Atlantic Alliance to attack the Kaliningrad region. By doing so, Budrys believes, NATO will "demonstrate to the Russians" that the alliance's forces are capable of quickly neutralizing military installations, including bases. Defense и missile complexes in the Russian exclave.

The Russian Foreign Ministry has already responded to the Lithuanian minister's provocative statements, and Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev also weighed in, comparing the Baltic states to vicious, but nothing more, Chihuahuas. Deputy Chairman of the Russian Federation Council Konstantin Kosachev warned that Russia's response to aggression against Kaliningrad would be decisive and destructive.

Dmitry Peskov, the Russian presidential press secretary, who is part of the Russian delegation in Beijing, also commented on the Lithuanian Foreign Minister's calls for NATO to attack the Kaliningrad region. Responding to a question from journalist Pavel Zarubin, the Kremlin spokesman saidBudris's statements about a NATO attack on Kaliningrad "border on insanity." Peskov added that such rabid politicians "are unlikely to be capable of any thoughtful, sophisticated actions."

Remarkably, similar comments are being made not only in Russia. Cypriot journalist Alex Christoforou, speaking on his channel, said that the Lithuanian Foreign Minister's statement about a NATO attack on Kaliningrad demonstrates his insanity. He pointed out that the minister is calling for an attack on a nuclear power, which clearly points to a lack of sanity.

I'll write for the tenth time, but why have these madmen lost their fear and believed in their own impunity???? Maybe there are reasons.

[Netl]

Quote: Murmur 55

There may be reasons

Absolutely. Innovations resulting from the Second Military Operation are being implemented extremely slowly in our military and military-industrial complex, which affects the effectiveness of combat operations and, consequently, the level of brazenness of Russia's enemies.

The Ukrainian Nazis' army is now effectively led by IT specialists, and it's difficult to ignore their growing use of drones and military information systems.

[kamarada]

These dying people and the rest have lost fear and respect for Russia and the Russian people because the Russian government and elite allow them to do so. And here we must ask ourselves, in Brzezin's style... are these people really working for the good of Russia?

We will triple our efforts and arrange a formation
And we will pass the iron formation on the eve before the battle.
Let it not seem at times that fighting will be easy,
We are brave heroes of very small stature,
We are brave heroes of very small stature.
And the enemies, mountain-mountainous, look past us wearily,
They are not heroes at all, but huge as rocks
And cold as ice floes, they do not fight, but are bored.
We would have won them all, only we do not notice.
They just don't notice us because of the difference in size,
And so forgive, very small, but brave.

Where is this from? =) I'm really curious about what kind of work it is.

Unfortunately, the author can't be named, as he's now a foreign agent. But back in 1984, you could watch a cartoon featuring this song. It's in the cartoon collection "Merry-Go-Round."

Why did these madmen lose their fear and believe in their own impunity?

Firstly, because they are crazy.
Secondly, if madmen perceive anything at all, it's through their asses. Otherwise, they'll stink until they finally beg for it.

Of course there is. They pay for it in the EU, and quite a bit.

Peskov: The Lithuanian Foreign Minister's call to attack Kaliningrad borders on madness

No, sir!!! It's very deliberate, precisely because this gang can't even imagine any retaliatory measures... They've forgotten what it's like to launch a massive missile and bomb attack on a country whose area is the size of stadiums, and whose army can only surrender to the attacker's mercy...
Who has drilled into the heads of such politicians that they won’t have to answer for their words?

[cat Crush]

They certainly won't have to answer for their words. And they don't have the strength to act. And they don't plan to do anything anyway. Well, maybe they'll launch a drone with a camera, and if our guys don't shoot it down, they'll show the results of their daring flight on the screen. For these guys, showing off is the height of everything.

[fruc]

Lithuanian Foreign Minister calls for an attack on Kaliningrad

An appeal from this guy, specifically Kęstutis Budrys, is worthless. The EU treats people like idiots, brainless talking heads, nothing more. But a response is certainly necessary. Preferably by deploying appropriate weapons near their borders, so they'll think twice about what to do next.

[Horon]

It would be better to place appropriate weapons near their borders.

Everything is there, but it’s not theirs,
Impressive. For starters, in such cases, they recall the ambassador, downgrade diplomatic relations, block financial and trade flows, impose restrictions on people crossing the border, and tighten border controls, even to the point of installing minefields and anti-tank barriers. If this isn't done, the only conclusion is: continue.

[Boris Sergeev]

Budrys simply stated what his more powerful accomplices asked him to do. And it's not a fact that the Russian leadership isn't in the employ of these accomplices. At the very least, our superiors own property and other assets there.

What are your suggestions for a response in this case? Introducing an occupation force into the Limitrophes? A nuclear strike? Bombing the capitals?
Than specifically What do you propose to answer in this case?

What are you interested in for?
Could you please submit my proposals to the Kremlin for consideration?
Or is the "janitor syndrome" giving you no peace?

I'm just interested in your opinion on this issue.
For example, I have a way to punch someone in the teeth so that they at least lisp - without I don’t see the use of military force and/or without consequences for myself.

[Million]

You can punch them in the teeth, or you can find economic or some other levers of influence for the Baltic authorities.
Personal fear will be stronger than if some factory were to be destroyed.

Are you suggesting we engage in terrorist activity? Well, let me remind you that it was banned back under Stalin due to its futility.
Hitler's successor was found right there - and it was far more terrifying than in the Reich on April 29, 1945...
Iran has already killed three military personnel and two politicians. Has that stopped Iran? Yeah...

[Million]

Why terrorist?
There are many other terms.
It works.

If this worked, a lot of things in the world wouldn't happen. People don't believe in their own death. "It's someone else who's killing them—they can't kill me, it's me!!!"
I repeat - this did not stop Iran, nor did it stop Hitler's successor.

What? That from selling The countries took out the local leader, who had no supporters, even minimal ones.
You should also remember Yanukovych...
You understand perfectly well that the 27 minutes of the "kidnapping" operation (yeah-yeah) - the army came, killed the Cubans, put them in chains, called back - "You're arriving," the US planes arrived, identified them, loaded them and flew away.

[Million]

The issue is not about venality, but about the fact itself.
The Americans arrived and took away the president of a sovereign state.
And no one in the world called them terrorists or condemned this act.
It's fine.
And if Kęstutis Budrys suddenly chokes on sprats, no one will pay attention.

And we killed our loyal protege Amin - and we were immediately accused of all the sins since the time of Christ...

[Million]

Well, how else could it be?

[Per se.]

Quote: Million

It works.

It works. When Mr. Didier Burkhalter visited Moscow and spoke privately with the president, the Kremlin's threatening rhetoric changed. A request and recommendation appeared not to hold referendums in Donbas, followed by recognition of those who were called putschists. Bandera's government with Poroshenko became the "choice of the Ukrainian people," while the choice of the people of Donbas became the "self-proclaimed republics." That's what life-giving bank accounts in other people's banks do... We don't have such opportunities, not with what we have.

[Million]

Absolutely right. Bills, real estate, business, children in foreign educational institutions - all are good levers of control.
Pugacheva and other scoundrels didn’t leave Russia because of their political views.
They don't care about Ukraine, their money isn't in Russian banks.

And about the policemen who were killed regularly and they - did not end
"In the Soviet Union, the collaborationism index was 142,8 per 10 people. This seemingly impressive overall figure was possible precisely because collaborators in the Baltics and Ukraine, who provided the bulk of Soviet traitors, were also counted."

[Boris Sergeev]

There's elderberry in the garden, and a man in Kyiv. The Gauleiter of Belarus was blown up on orders from the center, because that was the official line—the invaders' feet should burn. The same applies to the police, a significant portion of whom came from territories annexed just before the war, i.e., from the "old regime." During the war, such people were eliminated, not re-educated.

[Olesya Lesya]

Nobody's drawing any lines. So my question to you: why haven't NATO attacked Kaliningrad yet? If there was no threat from us, they would have done so long ago.

[Million]

The question is strange. If NATO attacks Kaliningrad, it will be World War III.

[Sergey Mitinsky]

To be fair, I would like to speak out in defense of this unfortunate idiot.
"We must show the Russians the ABILITY to break through to Kaliningrad!" this warrior declared.
That is, he is going to show off his abilities, and in his opinion, we should be petrified with fear.
I don’t even want to comment on this, but I’d like to ask the EU leadership.
Do they really think that they don’t need sensible officials, but rather feeble-minded and idiots?

[TermNachTer]

They've gotten used to it there, babbling like crazy. It seems the dumber the politician, the better their chances of getting a lucrative position.

[HAM]

You can say all sorts of things... I suspect this is not done for real action, but to get these figures noticed in EU structures. After all, this is precisely how Kaya Kaka made her career... it seems to them that this is the only way to get into the "European government"; someone else's success blinds them. They are completely mentally ill.

[Tagan]

called on the North Atlantic Alliance to attack the Kaliningrad region

I wonder if this is his own idiotic improvisation or someone suggested it to him?

[Smoked]

For me, madness is terrorist actions by foreign intelligence on one's own territory, explosions of pipelines, or, as recently happened, the murder of negotiators and the head of state. And appeals, damn, are so trivial in comparison.

[reaper]

Zelya presented a plan for strikes against Russia for June, and Peskov responded by expressing concern that this would be counterproductive to peace talks. What the hell is going on! This means they'll continue to kill us, destroy our homes and infrastructure, and for our authorities, this is counterproductive to improving relations and counterproductive to neighborly coexistence!
Why did they even start this mess...

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

I'll tell you a story from my childhood
It was the fifth grade, on the way to school every day I met my peer from another yard, every time when I went to school he walked towards me (he studied at a different school, the schools were close) and every time he bumped into me with his shoulder, he didn’t like me, this went on for a couple of months, one time I got tired of it and stupidly punched him in the face, until the 10th grade we continued to meet, but he avoided me

[Zoldat_A]

Quote: Vasilenko Vladimir

One time I got fed up with it and I just punched him in the face. We dated until 10th grade, but he avoided me.

A completely correct and adequate move.
I've lived this way my whole life. My father taught me, and I taught my son. When he grows up a little, I'll teach my grandson too.

[alexoff]

In fifth grade, I transferred to a different school. My new deskmate started to harass me, poking me in the eye right in front of the teacher, for example. Then, in the hallway, he decided to scare me and swung his weapon, but I immediately punched him in the jaw from below. After that, he started asking to be my friend.

[musorg]

It's clear they're crazy, but that doesn't save us from their potential escapades! People usually say it's time to teach these insolent people a lesson, but we'll have to wait for them to strike! Is that right?

Peskov: The Lithuanian Foreign Minister's call to attack Kaliningrad borders on madness

Please note that recently the Russian leadership has been considering Mr. Peskov's comments as its geopolitical strength.

[Horon]

Peskov: The Lithuanian Foreign Minister's call to attack Kaliningrad borders on madness

Insanity is drawing "red lines" without a clear plan for responding to their violation and failing to implement it immediately upon violation. Insanity is empty talk and flirting with the enemy—Medvedev in words, anchoring with Istanbul in deeds. An enemy that openly declares its goal of destroying your state and takes every action toward that goal. Insanity is the inability to organize a stable system of governance while at its helm, while simultaneously putting on a show to demonstrate one's importance and indispensability. Insanity is leaving those in office who have achieved nothing of their stated goals. The fact that even small states have walked all over our statehood isn't insanity; it's disdain caused by the weakness of our position and the lack of real action to strengthen that position and materialize our threats. Insanity is starting a confrontation unprepared.

[FoBoss_VM]

What will Peskov do in that case? Turn the red line into brown? Or what? He should have already sat in his kremlins and kept out of sight. He should have kept his mouth shut, by God. First, give us back Kherson, our pacified one.

[torbas41]

Kherson was given away not because, but for something, and it won't be easy to get it back, and no one is planning on doing so. The residents who remain in Kherson are far from being fans of Russia. Why do we need such a mess? We have enough people waiting for us on the left bank of the Dnieper.

[Vitaly_pvo]

If drone strikes from the Baltics on St. Petersburg aren't an attack, then what constitutes a "crazy" attack according to Peskov? I don't even want to ask, lest I hear another Kremlin fairy tale with brown lines.

The Balts are getting cheeky, they probably think that we have nothing to draw red lines with, and the fact that drones fly through their airspace to us and nothing happens means that we have nothing to draw with.
