Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
The embers of war are igniting. Everyone is using the ongoing turmoil as an opportunity to attack their enemies. Belarus and Lithuania are akin to Russia and Ukraine in that the people living there have many genetic and cultural similarities. Lithuania has partnered with the West, joining NATO in 2004, while Belarus has shown loyalty to Russia. The two nations share a 420-mile border (680 km) with six border crossings, but Lithuania implemented “temporary” closures to a number of crossings due to “geopolitical circumstances.”
Russian Wagner Group mercenaries were believed to be on Lithuanian territory this past August, sparking the initial border crossing closures. These temporary closures were never lifted and the Belarus government is now threatening war. Russian troops have already been positioned in Belarus for some time. “Lithuania has effectively banned us from moving our goods across the border. Under all norms of international law, such a step is considered economic aggression,” the Belarusian official said. “From the point of view of basic logic, we have every reason to use the force of arms to break through a corridor that is vital for us.”
The Neocons are shouting ARTICLE 5 as they are simply waiting for someone to make the first move so they do not have to create a false flag event. Belarus likely will not make a move without Russia’s approval, and Putin has been very strategic thus far. The question becomes how far countries can be pushed until someone makes the first move.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

Marty, old boy, when you say Lithuania and Belarus want war, do your refer to the people, or the gummints of those countries?
Sincerely,

To quote Admin: It’s always them BooBoo.
They have a black problem in Lithuania and Belarus?
I was wondering what glownigger penned this, when I read the title.
Just keep glowing, little Glow Worm. Throw in a little of your religion expertise next time too, please 🙂
Guess we’re talking about the Whatchamacallit Gap between Kaliningrad (formerly Koenigsberg) and Belarus.
Fulda?
Suvalkai gap
I stand with Lithuania!
Oh yeah? Fuck you! I stand with Belarus! Lithuanians are evil you idiot! Get a clue douchbag.
Fuck you asshole! Belarus is a puppet of Putin!
Damn straight asswipe! Better Putin than the neocon zionists!
I get it now. You’re an antisemitic commie. Figures.
OK (((glowbot))).
It is odd to call it anti-Semitic when it is European jews running Israel and semitic people in Gaza getting killed.
These days, everyone wants to live in Minsk.
I am always Against For.
Oh yeah?
I’m For Against!
Piss off “For Against” splitter!
Who will make the first move? The nation that feels they are the weaker so need the first strike.
Make East Prussia Great Again
😀 Funny, but Von Bismark actually sought alliances with Imperial Russia, and tried to insure Germany would not fight a 2 front war.

The Democrat battle cry!
MESS!
Make Eastern States Solvent!
[They even have blue ballcaps with MESS on them]
.
America should stay out of any further conflicts including this one.
Agreed:
I believe to be the only Lithuanian here, so I have a say here.
Unfortunately, no say in politics.
I can attest that most Lithuanians feel quite pissed off because of our governement action.
We see Belarus for what it is- just a neighbour. We want to travel, trade etc.
Been in Minsk a year ago, had a good time.
And please, make a distinction between ordinary people and those in power. Lithuanian, Belarussian, you name it.
When I say USA started the war in wherever they did, do you feel like you started it in person?
Interesting info and good points. These countries are in Europe right?
What a load of bollocks. Belarus aint even joining Russia in Ukraine which is a mistake – and if Russia falls so does Lukeschenko.
Belarus and Lithuania were out in the forest looking for war.
Only problem? They had no idea what real war looked like.
Not to worry, they will find out. Again.
I expect Belarus to wait until a couple of US aircraft carriers are sinking. Same for China with Taiwan and Iran with Israel.
