Discussion Escalation to Escalate or De-Escalate? These moments are incredibly tense. Perhaps the most extraordinary foolishness so far - and the competition for suicidal insanity is fierce - is Lithuania’s blockade of Kaliningrad, which might just mark the end of Lithuania and the other Baltic States either now or once the dust has settled on Ukraine. We could say it is tit-for-tat for Russia’s alleged blockade of Ukrainian ports, supposedly the cause of global food insecurity (which it isn’t - Western sanctions are the main culprit, and Ukraine supplies only one fifth of total global exports, far less than Russian itself, whose supplies are interrupted in divers ways by sanctions). But our mainstream media seem utterly incapable of providing clear answers to the most pressing questions, questions that in theory would be easy to answer. There is no WMM response to Putin’s careful explanation as to the situation, which he provided over a week ago: the Ukrainians mined their own ports, wisely or unwisely, for fear of Russian attack. Certainly it is the case that Turkey has indeed offered to de-mine them and, with Russia, to provide secure passage for Ukrainian ships. And on 21st Century News, I believe it was, I heard that the first such ship has already departed, as of a day ago. But WMM blather on about Putin’s blockade. If there is a reality to this then let them show us, let them prove it! The laziness and malignance of WMM is hard to exaggerate. A day or ago they were waxing lyrical over Ukraine’s attack, once again, on Snake Island on the mouth of the Danube, but failed to tell us, according to Mercouris, that the planned amphibious attack was cancelled after the air strike proved a failure.
