Lithuania Drinks the British ‘No Red-Line’ Kool Aid

As London’s “psychiatric shock troops” invade the global information channels to convince the hapless that Russia has no red lines, Lithuania’s president has drunk the kool-aid and asked for more. In an echo of Vladimir Zelensky’s statement that the operation to retake Crimea “has begun in people’s minds,” Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda has stated that Russia’s red lines “exist only in our heads,” in an interview with LRT television on Tuesday. Instead of sleepwalking into nuclear war, they are daydreaming us all into annihilation, courtesy of the recent spate of British psywar in the media, such as the New York Times piece, “Putin Has No Red Lines,” by Nigel Gould-Davies, or The Hill’s article, “The folly of self-imposed red lines on US aid to Ukraine,” by none other than Jim Jones (the other Jim Jones).

Lithuania’s President Nauseda said that of the many red lines that he has seen, they “were not drawn by us, democratic states,” but he asserted instead that “the terrorist state of Russia is trying to draw them, using fear and threats.”

According to TASS, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded to these statements by Nauseda by noting that the Baltic states together with Poland “are apparently prepared to do anything to provoke more confrontation and probably don’t give thought to the consequences.” Peskov added it was “sad” that countries which “serve as the locomotives of all European processes” do not act to counterbalance such influence.

Perhaps the UK, Poland, and the Baltic States will soon form a coalition of the willing to take on Russia and win, in, or perhaps out of, their own minds.
