.......And that base will be, (surprise, surprise,surprise) 100km from the Kaliningrad Oblast..... ( which was Königsberg for 690 years before it was Kaliningrad)....as most of you already know.

"Fun" fact............Nikita Khrushchev offered the entire Kaliningrad Oblast to the Lithuanian SSR in the 1950's but the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Lithuania, Antanas Sniečkus, refused to accept the territory because it would add at least a million ethnic Russians to Lithuania proper.

Kinda like south-eastern Ukraine only in Ukraine the number is 10x higher but in Lithuania a million ethnic Russians would have been 37% of Lithuanian population...... in Ukraine it's about half that % so..........."it's complicated"

When the Soviet Union broke up far too many Western politicians myopically thought this meant the end of strife in Europe........ how do you think that " peace dividend" is working out ?
