Maxima's owner, Numa (formerly Numavičius), exported billions of euros from his privatized and earned from the vodka trade in Lithuania and evaded from Lithuanian taxes to the United Kingdom. Why could he do that? Because the Lithuanian government was bribed, and of the United Kingdom does not harm the Lithuania's, as a NATO member's, oligarchs. The general scheme is for Eastern European countries to join NATO and their oligarchs to protect assets of dubious origin by transferring them to the West. This is called the Eastern Partnership.
This scheme has the most active participant - the Lithuanian elite, depicting that it is a "war" with Russia. In reality, the main force in this alleged "war" with Russia is the United States, which realizes that competing with China and with Russia at the same time is too expensive for the United States. Therefore, secret talks are taking place with Russia, sharing spheres of influence.
Therefore, Lithuania's participation in the transfer of the assets of the Eastern oligarchs to the West is beginning to contradict the interests of our main defender, America. Therefore, the impression is that we, Lithuanians, have a hard time running in front of a huge US train, are not able to run fast enough and risk being crushed.
We lost Mažeikiai oil, dairy farming and manufacturing of milk products in arguments with Russia. We lose railroads and harbor in the same games. We are missing out on invaluable business opportunities in arguments with China. We are losing a billion euros a year by buying obsolete military equipment that we do not need. In vain are we wasting the time and effort of conscripts involuntarily gathered into an ineffective army.
We need to change Lithuanian politics to Finnish politics - to fight when we fight and to trade when we trade.
