Lithuania should not provoke aggression every day

Reading about the published threat report in the press, one still gets the impression that the Lithuanian State Security Department (VSD), this truly honorable organization, is still "managed" by Conservatives.

 

Aggression should be avoided at all costs

 

People have been saying for a long time that during all terms, whether left-wing or right-wing forces were in power, the VSD was always controlled by the Homeland Union. This was supposedly its political condition at all times.

 

It is difficult to say whether this is true, but those annual reports always show that there is no smoke without fire.

 

For example, let's say that in this report, in addition to the biggest threat, Russia, China also appeared.

 

The question arises, is this not an indirect attempt to justify the nonsense committed by the former conservative foreign minister with Taiwan?

 

Another eye-catching piece of news – that the transit of fertilizers through Lithuania poses a threat to the state.

 

It is difficult to understand what kind of threat the transportation of goods may pose. Could soldiers be hiding in bulk freight cars rolling through our country? I have also never heard of this happening, but the transportation of fertilizers is still called a threat. Strange.

 

This is inevitably connected with the decision of the former conservative government to terminate the transit of fertilizers by a Belarusian company through Lithuania. The contract with that Lukashenko company was terminated unilaterally, so now we have a $12 billion lawsuit against our country.

 

In this situation, isn’t the new threat report also an attempt to justify the conservative government’s ill-considered decision? Especially since it may cost the state almost 70 percent of its annual budget revenues, and then the question of resposibility will arise one way or another.

 

It is very unpleasant that this threat report was immediately picked up by the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova. She not only called our President with nasty words, but also threatened that Russia would take not diplomatic, but “practical” actions against Lithuania. Apparently, she had in mind a possible or even future occupation of our country.

 

So after announcing those threats, even more of them appeared. It’s scary. We wanted the best, but it turned out as always. All this reminds us of the uncontrollable desire of Conservatives to constantly anger Russia.

 

Only such a position is hardly useful for us. As journalist Saulius Pocius once wrote, even before the conflict in Ukraine began, we, the voters, hire the government not to lead us into war, but to avoid it, at any cost possible."
