36 years ago, British journalist, security policy expert, and a true friend of 🇱🇹, @edwardlucas, was issued the first Lithuanian visa after the restoration of Independence in 1990. This marked one of the first steps in exercising Lithuania’s sovereignty.









Every Ukrainian attack on Russian oil infrastructure drives up oil and gas prices and helps Iran against the U.S. — and the U.S. is providing the weapons to Ukraine to attack Russian oil infrastructure which helps Iran. IOW: We are spending our own tax dollars to drive up oil prices that will fund Iran’s war effort. Sorry to repeat myself but I feel like people aren’t getting it.

I have a question. Did the Pentagon look at Operation Spiderweb that destroyed a big chunk of Russian strategic aviation last year, and decide: nah, we’re good, we can just park our planes in the open within enemy reach because if we believe we have nothing to learn from these Ukrainians, our enemies must surely believe the same? And yes, Iran has precision missile capabilities that are orders of magnitude better than Ukraine’s.
