Lithuania’s ridiculous statement: Smuggled balloons from Belarus is a “threat the world isn’t ready for”

Lithuanian Prime Minister, Inga Ruginienė says that such actions by Minsk as the alleged smuggled balloons flying into Lithuanian airspace as well as the carriers being stuck in Belarus due to the preceding border closure by Vilnius can be recognised as terrorism.

“It is unacceptable to anyone that Belarus is holding our transporters’ cars hostage today, that balloons are flying from the Belarusian side and flying to our strategic facilities, in this case, the airport. We are talking about aviation safety, we are talking about international law and we are talking about the fact that such actions can be recognised as terrorism,” Ruginienė declared.

The Lithuanian Premier assured that she will do everything necessary to provide security to ordinary Lithuanians despite these balloons are a “threat the world isn’t ready for”

“The military is working without counting either strength or time, new technologies are being tested. There are a lot of such actions and Europe is already asking about our experience. Everyone understands that this is a new threat that the world was not yet ready for, so we will be the first,” the Head of Lithuanian Government asserted.

Apparently, Ruginienė does not understand that making such a loud statement about “huge threat” from weather balloons is ridiculous. By claiming this seriously, Vilnius simply admits the mediocrity of its military, which Lithuania has invested tons of taxpayers’ money in.
