Kaliningrad…Could be the Focus of Further Dissolution
The collapse of the USSR began with Lithuania. The end of Putin’s Russia will begin in approximately the same region — from Kaliningrad. To begin with, the inhabitants of this proud free city will ask themselves what the Stalinist dullness of Kalinin has to do with them and their city.
The above post on Telegram caught my attention this morning. Yes, Russia continues to probe the west. We saw this with the helicopter flights of Estonia.
Estonia has summoned the Russian ambassador after accusing a border guard helicopter of violating the country’s airspace.
A Russian MI-8 helicopter is alleged to have entered the Estonian airspace for two minutes without permission on Saturday evening.
The incident took place in the southern Koidula area not far from the Russian city of Pskov, according to a statement from Estonia’s military.
Of course, Russia is also threatening Lithuania. But for the moment all we are seeing are threats and more military exercises in Gomel by Bielorrusa. Those are annual, so less of a threat.
So this is the situation outside the Federation. Inside we are having inflation already hit people hard. This came through Telegram, and I am posting it in full because it is revealing.
