Significant events that happened in Europe on August 31

On the evening of August 31, 1939 Germany made a false flag attack on the Polish radio station at Gleiwitz. It was the excuse they used to send troops into Poland the next day and so began World War II.

And three more interesting August 31sts in European history. 

In 1991 Kyrgyzstan became independent from the Soviet Union. 

In 1993 Russia removed the last of its troops from Lithuania and a year later, also on August 31 the Russian Army left Estonia.

These days we often hear of alleged false flag events made by the Russian Army. And there is growing fear that the Russian Army may once again attempt to enter Lithuania and Latvia.

Yesterday, August 30, 2022, former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev died.

It will be interesting to see if any Western leaders will attend his funeral. No doubt President Putin will attend. Former US President Bill Clinton?

And today Russia announces it is cutting off gas supplies to the West through Nord Stream 1.
What next?
