Russia pulls carpet out from under Lithuania

A motion submitted in the Russian Duma by a member of party aligned with Putin went almost unreported in the main stream media. This draft resolution requires the Duma to cancel the recognition of Lithuania as independent state and claim it as part of Russia, a Geotactics measure that can bring chaos in Baltics:

In an earlier occasion, Russia cautioned Finland regarding her neutrality as status of Alan under international treaty mandates it as neutral & demilitarized entity. Besides Saimaa Canal in Finland using land leased by Russia reinforces Finland remaining neutral. See my blog “Russia traps Finland over Alan Islands” (Here).

Lithuania did not follow the independence process in accordance with the provisions of Acts of the Russian Federation. For example under Article 67.1 of the constitution of Russian Federation is the legal successor of the USSR over its territory. Any country that wishes to go independent must firstly conduct under aegis of UN a referendum to secure more than 50% op votes in favour.

In the case of Lithuanian, nationalists there declared independence on March 11, 1990 without the consent of Russia and eleven months after that a sham referendum was held on 9 February 1991 without any international institution overseeing it. However, State Council of USSR decided to adopt a decree in according recognition.

This decree is now being challenged on three counts:

• The procedure adopted by Lithuania over independence  is null and void on legal grounds
• The recognition of Lithuanian Independence adopted by USSR State council was wrong in terms of the constitution of Russia
• No transitional period was established for consideration of all contentious issues, including Russian speaking people living in Lithuania and  Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia that borders Lithuania in the southwest 

This motion introduced by Yevgeny Fydorov, Member of Duma, from United Russia Party that is aligned with Vladimir Putin calls for the cancellation of recognition of Lithuanian independence as proper procedure was not followed.

A  great move of  Geotactics, that brings unimaginable effects: For Lithuania it is pulling the carpet from under her feet along with having Sword of Damocles hanged over her head;  For NATO being caught in a cul-de-sac re north European expansion; For China a sense of relief as she has troubled relationship with Lithuania over the latter’s mollycoddling with Taiwan. 

Putin is placed in a position where he has the magic wand of Geotactics that can finish off Lithuania!   

 

Cheers!
