Lithuania: We can defend Europe without China’s help

Landsbergis, in a statement on his Twitter account, criticized Europe for the support given to totalitarian governments and the investments made in these countries.

Stating that the power was purchased from Russia and the technology was transferred, Landsbergis said: “We ignore the threats not only to Russia’s neighboring countries, but also to Western society. Armies were sloppy, borders were defenseless, our ability to repel invaders was diminished.” he performed the assessment of it.

“OUR GEOPOLITICAL BLINDNESS HAS NOT YET RECOVERED”

Underlining that the defense of Ukraine is also the defense of Europe, Landsbergis said:

*Unfortunately, our geopolitical blindness has not yet been cured. We chose not to see the threat of Russian aggression, and now we choose not to see the threat of Chinese aggression.

*We are about to repeat the same mistake. We ask Russia not to invade Ukraine and Georgia. We made phone calls. The result was a tragically predictable disaster.

*(Vladimir) Our strategy on Putin has clearly failed. Now, instead of increasing defense spending and production or strengthening our transatlantic connection, are we asking another totalitarian to help us ‘make peace’ in Europe? That would be a bigger mistake than the Nord Stream pipeline.

“WE MUST EXPLAIN OUR STRENGTH”

Stating that they can defend Europe without China’s help, Landsbergis said: “Instead of asking for help, we must show our strength and show the world that Ukraine, Europe and the US are willing and able to secure the European continent. That’s the only signal we have to send.” She used the phrase.

Landsbergis said: “I do not recommend begging dictators,” suggesting a change of strategy for peace in Europe. (AA)
