It is quite extraordinary how history these days is repeating itself hour-for-hour but in some sort of perverse way.
On this day, June 23, 1941 the Lithuanian Activist Front declared independence from the Soviet Union and formed the Provisional Government of Lithuania.
Some few weeks later Germany occupied Lithuania, which put an end to the country’s brief independence.
In these days Russia is threatening independent Lithuania as a consequence of EU sanctions halting the passage of some materials between Russia and Kaliningrad.
On Tuesday co-leader of the SPD and a member of the German parliament, Lars Klingbeil said that it was time for Germany to forsake 80 years of playing a minor role in Europe and make itself militarily strong.
