C'mon, you are never wrong.

They've repeatedly agitated Russia in the hope of escalation, Lithuania's blockade of Kaliningrad the latest of many irresponsible actions that show a clear pattern of desire to escalate.

Yes, that is pretty crazy - but so is your claim that Lithuania started the war.

Maybe they'll give up on that and hope they can push China to take Taiwan.

How exactly will that benefit 'them' though?
