Lithuania Prepares For Russian Invasion

"More than two years after Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine, Lithuania is warning its citizens of a possible similar fate in the former Soviet Union republic. Lithuanian government officials have published tens of thousands of copies of a 75-page guide on how to survive a Russian invasion, BBC News reported Saturday. 

The civil defense booklet stresses that Russia is capable of using military force against its neighbors to get its way and warns civilians to call a government hotline to report anyone suspected of being a spy. It also informs Lithuanians on how to spot Russian tanks and mines. 

The manual states: "It is most important that the civilians are aware and have a will to resist - when these elements are strong, an aggressor has difficulties in creating an environment for military invasion.

 With growing tensions between Russia and the West in recent years, NATO has announced it will send troops and equipment to defend the Baltic states of Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia in the biggest military build-up since the Cold War.

 Germany also warned residents in an August advisory to stockpile food and water in case of a national emergency. For its part, Lithuania announced last year it would restart military conscription for men aged 19-26.

Russia has also taken precautions. Most recently, it held civil defense drills involving 40 million people to prepare for chemical and biological attacks. And in Moscow, officials reportedly have created a plan to shelter the city's 12 million residents in case of catastrophe.

Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev has said relations between the West and Russia have reached extreme levels. 

"I think the world has reached a dangerous point," he told the RIA Novosti news agency in mid-October. "This needs to stop. We need to renew dialogue.""

Do forgive me for the stupid question, but what will happen if this goes ahead? :/ 

(Also hoping a war doesn't start, because one of my biggest fears is conscription.)

Damn this is so distressing, Russia has been coocking up and being very smart. With such a weak EU and a Turkey so strong, this is so worrying. Where are our leaders indeed. Someone get rid of Putin already

If Russia does dare to inavde Lithuania, you can be sure that the third world war is coming. Lithuania is part of the NATO (military alliance), which means an attack on the country is also considered an attack on the 28 other countries in the alliance including:

- The entirety of the European Union (Germany, Poland, Belgium etc.)
- The United Kingdom
- USA
- Turkey

I really hope this whole thing wouldn't turn out that way... Haven't we learnt anything? Idiots.

They say it's the last song. They don't know us, you see. It's only the last song if we let it be.

I'm curious how this would turn out if Trump wins. He seems to be friends with Putin. Would he go against Russia?
