Why do we need to buy 50 easily destroyed by cheap drones tanks that both the Russians and Ukrainians hide or use as cannons

 

"Because we did not create a state in Lithuania. Under the guidance of musician Vytautas Landsbergis, we created a performance to deceive ourselves.

 

"It has been three years since the three ruling Lithuania parties signed the coalition agreement. On that occasion, the nation should be presented with a list of liberal reforms and the dates when they will ripen into juicy oranges and papayas. There's just nothing to present. Just before the anniversary, a third of the Conservatives and Liberals voted against the Government's bill and destroyed it.

 

Troubled dinner. But if we measure by the rules of western politics, it is a farewell mass for the late cabinet of ministers.

 

It is symbolic that the Minister of Health Dulkys, apparently forgetting the third anniversary (he did not participate in the coalition negotiations himself, because he does not belong to the ruling parties), gave an interview full of sighs that there is complete dead end with the nurses.

 

In the interview, Dulkys promises to appeal to the managers of medical institutions, so that they will increase the salaries of nurses.

 

What fairy tale did the minister live in for three years? There is still a year ahead, and the minister is already dead. He carried himself away. In order not to stand out in the background of the carried away system?

 

There are real bad people among the managers of medical facilities, but to imagine that they walk around with bags full of euros and do not maliciously raise nurses' salaries would be possible only after a blow to the head. Medical institutions are state-owned. As much as the state gives in wages, they spend. The minister also says between the lines that doctors' earnings may be to blame: "Specialist doctors are among the top five best-paid professions."

 

There was a shortage of nurses before Dulkys. Likewise doctors. Dulkys received a worn coat of system medical force. But he was invited so that there would be no more shortage of nurses, well, at least there would be less shortage than what do we have.

 

Dulkys tried to turn the coat he was wearing to the other side. He turned half the coat upside down - he revived the collective farms of hospitals and polyclinics that were abolished after independence. The other half remained worn. But the coat was not worn only here. In all state system. Only every third nurse who graduated from medical college works in medical institutions. The other two are emigrating. To abroad or another job.

 

The worst thing is that it is not even objectively estimated how many nurses are actually lacking. When measuring not de facto, but with European charges. There is a greater shortage of nurses than advertised.

 

On the one hand, because Lithuanian doctors, cf. with Germany, Norway, etc., doing a lot of nursing work. This increases their exhaustion and distances the patient from the doctor. There is also a shortage of doctors. Even more so than before Dulkys. The system is still spinning out of inertia, mainly at the expense of medical workers' health.

 

A few months ago, the Republican Šiauliai Hospital lacked 72 doctors. And how much would be missing if doctors worked only one full-time job? What if all the doctors of retirement age did not work tomorrow? In some hospitals, more than half of them are.

 

STRATA, which is the Government's own strategic analysis center, indicates that in six years the country will lack 3,163 nurses and 848 doctors.

 

Did only Dulkys live in outer space for three years? Not really. We read about bridges, roads, and especially railways. After leaving Vilnius in the morning by train to Klaipėda, you can still be somewhere near Šiauliai or Plunge in the evening. Obsolete tracks, broken brakes, poles falling on the tracks.

 

The Lithuanian railway, as he once wrote in the 19th century. French economist F. Bastiat, turns into an anti-railway.

 

It turns out that the state-owned company "Lietuvos Geležinkeliai" dismantles some locomotives and electric locomotives in order to repair others. Kind like in Russia. But Russia is suffocated by EU and US sanctions, it does not get needed parts. What sanctions are strangling Lithuanian Railways? Why do they tear down trains instead of buying parts?

 

Because the new type of managers have failed the maintenance and repair system. Parts should be ordered in advance, not when something breaks. You need to plan. Those guys don't know how to plan, they only know how to show off. That's why they drive in Russian sanctioned way - they destroy one expensive piece of equipment to drive another.

 

Lithuania practically has no air defense, it does not have as many drones as military experience suggests, there are no border fortifications, the country does not have a single fighter jet, but they are desperate to buy 50 tanks. Weapons that both Russians and Ukrainians hide or use as cannons.

 

 

Will tear up the railroads go as long as the politicians who run the railroads let them? Until it breaks down? Can a Minister of Transport like Skuodis see it? Dulkys, compared to President Nausėda's scumbag Skuodis, is in space in a good way. Sad huh.

 

There was a shortage of police officers even up to Minister Bilotaitė. But now Vilnius lacks 400 of them. In Panevėžys county - over 150. In the Panevėžis town and district, two do the work of three policemen. There is no third. A total of 1,500 police officers are missing.

 

In Vilnius, the police have 30-40 priority (sic!) pre-trial investigations each. With administrative cases, complaints - up to 150. What does this mean for citizens? The fact that the state no longer performs the sacred police functions assigned to it.

 

There is a shortage of 400 border guards in the State Border Guard Service. Only after the migrants started to rush from Belarus did it become clear that most of the border guards do not have weapons that meet NATO requirements, they do not even get paper for formalizing documents, money for flashlights, other tools necessary for finding the hiding places of contraband goods, they work with outdated computers.

 

100 people are missing in the territorial customs office of Vilnius. There are 270 missing in the country. The rest work for everyone. Salary - better not to say. "Maxima" cashiers would not work for that much even if they were tortured by inquisitors. Workload - God help. But these are just the frames of the picture. Hundreds of customs officers travel a hundred kilometers or more to work. Thirteen packages of EU sanctions against Russia are the second workload for the customs officer compared to the pre-war years.

 

When will the customs, which is the responsibility of Finance Minister Skaistė, arrive? In the Department of Prisons, there is an even greater lack of people. Kaunas district court was missing 20 judges. The country lacks a tenth of judges and 150 assistant judges, of which 94 are in Vilnius. There are no people willing to work as assistant judges and secretaries of hearings. The work of the courts is at a standstill.

 

In September, there was a shortage of 600 teachers. In Vilnius, some poor mathematicians make a second round of gymnasiums. There is nothing to choose from. There are only 420 chemists and 555 physicists in the country, and even those are no longer young people.

 

Everywhere you look, there is a run down coat. It is not only the current Government that is responsible for it. And former ones. And the welfare president Nausėda - especially. How to create a welfare state without thousands of missing officials, teachers, doctors and nurses?

 

The state will soon no longer be able to perform the functions for which it was created. Management is outdated, permeated with nepotism. No reforms, no money.

 

With reforms in Lithuania since March 11, problems. Either imitation or one step forward, two steps back. However, what can be said about the necessary financing of functions, if the Ministry of Finance does not even love its own customs officers?

 

What do Mrs. Skaistė and the chairman of the Seimas Budget and Finance Committee Lingė care about when campaigning for the introduction of real estate tax? Do they say that it is necessary for policemen, border guards, nurses, to support their customs?

 

No. The Conservatoire sings in chorus that Brussels needs this, because the Minister of Finance made an agreement with Brussels under the table. Find a greater absurdity than this.

 

When will you start talking to people that public services are expensive, we can be left without police and medicine? Maybe when the Minister of Health stops blaming the doctors for the long queues at the doctors? Which, of course, we will not get either in the next or over the next term. In the face of this kind of conflict that is going on in Europe, we get only fog from the Cabinet of Ministers and the State Defense Council headed by the President about national defense against Russia.

 

Lithuania practically has no air defense, it does not have as many drones as military experience suggests, there are no border fortifications, the country does not have a single fighter jet, but they are desperate to buy 50 tanks. Which both Russians and Ukrainians hide or use as cannons in war.

 

"How many Lithuanian officers know what "ПМН-3", "ПМН-4", "МЗУ", "M/97", "МЛ-7" are... Who among them can tell how this engineering ammunition is used in Ukraine? - asks Ukrainian volunteer deminer R. Armaitis. - I doubt that there will be a single officer in the Lithuanian army who would be able to describe the structure of Russian minefields. How do Russians make slush? How are buildings mined? Leaving the trenches? What traps do they use? Why are the Ukrainians losing so much equipment during the attack?"

 

Another volunteer defending Ukraine, A.Kumpis, also does not spare bitter words to the generals: "For the Lithuanian military leadership, I am an invisible person. They built a wall, we are not there. They are fine as they are, and doing nothing is the easiest. When you ride a bike, you put on a helmet and think you're invincible. The fifth article of NATO put that helmet on them, they think that the Americans will solve everything. This is an illusion, because if there are no Lithuanians on the border of Belarus, there will be no Americans either, Americans alone will not die for Lithuania."

 

Doing nothing is the easiest. The words of the defender of Ukraine are not only about national defense. About any state function. For politicians, the demonstration process has long become more important than the result. In the numerator - a public relations image, in the denominator - a worn state coat."
