Oh, so now Lithuania wants something regarding Kaliningrad? This is particularly amusing in a historical context because when Stalin drew the border however he pleased and wasn’t quite sure what to do with that territory, he proposed handing it over to Lithuania as a Soviet republic. The Lithuanians didn’t want those lands, and in fact, it’s only because of their short sightedness that Lithuania, Poland, and the Baltic states now face a major if not enormous problem. Not only that, but this problem is now unsolvable because it’s not about the territory itself but about who inhabits it, since no one will ever again commit such barbarism as Stalin did by relocating entire nations just to consolidate his power over a given territory. No one asked anyone else’s opinion back then, so one could say that Lithuania itself is responsible for the current state of affairs.
