Was that expected? That could have implications for the broader European context and the far-right narratives. Thanks.

If I get the picture right, the SD lost some votes. How significant is that? Thanks.

🇵🇱Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski: The Council of Baltic Sea States, without the rest of Europe and NATO, has a bigger GDP than Russia and a bigger peacetime defense budget than Russia's wartime budget. Russia has no hope of winning against us.

Respect Madyar, but this is clickbait. Same recycled alarmism comes around every 6 months, with nothing substantially new (see almost identical WSJ piece from 2024). RU threat has been real for years. Does that make an attack now more likely or imminent? No data is offered. Threat ≠ probability.

Sad truth about LT here. Don’t think our politicians had a clue what they were doing. Dishonorable and stupid. Many Lithuanians are really ashamed of this.

Obviously. The point I tried to make was that some empires and some reigns build churches and culture that last long, some don’t.

True. Just don’t think they built churches that date back 800 years.

I think you know very little about the Baltics. But believe what you want.

Gintas Karalius @gintaskaralius.bsky.social · 01/04/2026
You presume the Baltics are alone. There are more players than NATO - Nordics, Germany, Poland, even FR with nuclear umbrella. Sending troops to UA unilaterally without consulting all them, would compromise these alliances. Won’t happen.

US trying to shift the Iran mess it created onto Europeans so it and Israel can wash their hands of it anytime: “you handle a drone or two and a mine there, while we’ll keep bombing.” European countries should think carefully before signing up to such an arrangement.

So, those alleged science-republicans silently resist Trump in a certain spiritual silent way while supporting every single obscurantist decision he makes in public… ? Very brave of them. We are all relieved about the future of this party.

Not to argue, just suggesting that the concept West is superficial. If you eliminate the US, the concept becomes empty, having no common denominator. Japan was colonialist before becoming the West, not after. Had a whole anti-Western pan-Asianist ideology; the West saw them as „yellow peril“ (1895)

Even more peculiar that they call this amalgam of cultures and identities a uniform civilization. When someone declares to hate ‘the West’, it is doubtful they mean Japan.

Feels like something cracked today in the transatlantic alliance. Europeans have been swallowing their pride, bitting their tongues, and bending the knee. That strategy may have bought them time but it has now clearly failed. It also had a major cost - it has made the WH think Europe will cave. 1/
