When Donald Trump was in the White House, the corporate-controlled media had eyes and ears all over the globe to “interpret” his every move in the worst way possible.
But a leftist organization can get away with almost anything.
And the Fake News Media just forgot to tell you how the European Union is about to start WWIII.
Kaliningrad is a far-flung Russian province that is physically disconnected from the nation and sandwiched in between Poland and Lithuania to Russia’s west.
Unlike Alaska, which is surrounded by a vast wilderness few people are willing to brave, Kaliningrad is surrounded by these, and other, fairly populous nations which all happen to be members of NATO.
The province serves as an important access point to the Baltic Sea for Russia, and when Lithuania recently banned goods from traveling by rail between Kaliningrad and mainland Russia, it marked the beginning of a potentially explosive conflict.
Lithuania, which is already at odds with Russia’s biggest ally, China — claims the decision to break their treaty allowing cargo to travel through their country was made after consulting with the European Union.
The move is part of an international effort to bring down Russia for invading Ukraine.
It’s obviously a dangerous game to play, especially considering the fact that Russia has already issued dire warnings about this type of move in the past.
While CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, and MSNBC are mostly ignoring the explosive showdown in Eastern Europe, the independent Epoch Times couldn’t help pointing out that Lithuania is basically a powder keg waiting to blow.
“This might be the biggest real world escalation between a member of NATO and Russia since the beginning of the Ukraine war,” Roman Balmako explained on Facts Matter. “And in fact, soon after this partial blockade was announced the Russian Foreign Ministry released an official statement, calling it a form of open hostility.”
With roughly half of all goods that travel between Russia and Kaliningrad sanctioned, panic buying has overwhelmed the country as its residents find themselves basically cut off from the rest of the world.
“The bigger issue is that this blockade is unfortunately moving us one step closer to a potential confrontation between NATO and Russia,” Balmako explained. “That’s because from the perspective of Moscow, this latest action is tantamount to laying economic siege to part of Russia’s sovereign territory and 1 million of its citizens.”
When the EU began flirting with a serious blockade back in April, the Kremlin threatened to
“break the blockade” with a Russian senator warning that if the EU wants “to go to the lengths of making us break this blockade to save the lives of our people who live there we can do this.”
If war breaks out in Lithuania, the United States will be quickly pulled into the conflict as a NATO nation and we’ll have two nuclear powers involved in a hot war — a situation that should obviously be avoided at all costs.
Unfortunately, all that Democrats and their allies in the corporate-controlled media can fixate on instead is whether the January 6 Commission can come up with anything nasty to say about former President Donald Trump.
Apparently, that’s way more important than focusing on whether we’re entering a conflict with two incredibly unstable leaders who just happen to have the power to nuke the planet.
