These two statements really struck me. After 4 Months of fighting they are still unable to eliminate the few Fighter Aircraft and S-300 Systems of Ukraine but suddenly are able to take out the satellites and the whole Missile defence of NATO within hours/days. Total delusion/desperation. It tells a lot about frustration and hurt pride.

And that is why I don't think the Lithuanian Blockage is such a great idea. Russia has left rationality long behind. It's pure emotion. And that is prone to doing stoopid things.
