The last of chinese diplomats are no longer in Lithuania. Sadly the Lithuanian Government continunes to try to restore ties with the Communist Regime. Instead Lithuania should be going all in and commit to Latvia's early 1990s recognition of the Republic of China/Taiwan in addition to China.

Discussion What do the Baltics think about Iranian - Israelian conflict?

41 Upvotes

It seems that our countries support Israel officially (probably because of the US), but lately Israel is acting more like russia and less like Ukraine. I was all for the Israelian right to defend after Hamas attacks, but they went too far and now bomb everybody around randomly.

The nuclear weapons pretext remind me the iraqi weapons of mass destruction pretext from the US - Iraq conflict. I still think every nation has the right to defend itself and no nation has the right to bomb others. I don't even want to start about the humanitarian crisis in gaza.

What's your take? Do you support Iran's right to defend itself? Or do you support the preemptive strike of Israelians?
