Dear Paul,

If Putin and his cohorts get their hands on the
Baltic States once again - the people will need more than
an umbrella or worries about the weather to deal with.
Lithuania has a choice - The West and their allies,
or Putin and his henchmen. The choice is clear as most
Lithuanians and their families who fled from the Soviet
Regime will testify.

Hi Foxy,

Who is this bloke, and why is he always putting up this stuff about Lithuania? I must admit I didn't read his link, is he a friend of GY's who accepts his topics, I don't know anything about it, I do believe in self determination for all peoples, including Lithuanians.

Here is Morrison and some clown from the public service attempting pathetic sabre-rattling in our part of the World, be it in a small way, but never the less its sabre-rattling.

Hi Paul,

I'm wondering about this bloke as well. He describes
himself as a "political scientist" and a former teacher.
Where did he teach? - and what are his qualifications?
None are listed. All a mystery. and why
is he here on this forum prattling on about
Lithuania and how bad it is for it to align
itself with the West instead of Russia.
I find it very curious. Putin is looking towards
the Baltic with very hungry eyes. And who knows
it's the Baltic now - but who's next? He's made himself
ruler for life - and the former KGB apparachik is seeking
territory. He's already begun with the Ukraine. We've got two
threats currently in Europe and Asia - Russia and China
looking at neighbouring regions with greed.

The planet could not tolerate under war.

Putin is not like yesteryear's Russians as today's Lithuanians are not like yesteryears !

Today's Australians are not like those of yesteryear.
Neither are the British, or the Germans, or the French,
or any one else in Europe.
