Lithuania and Polish Corridor Moment: Lithuania wants to be invaded

 

On September 1st, 1939, Germany invaded Poland. For several years, the issue had been the Polish Corridor created by the Versailles Treaty isolating Germany from a vast chunk of East Prussia including Danzig and Memel. 

Now, Lithuania might be about to make a tragic mistake by blocking access to Kaliningrad from the Russian mainland thus giving the Russian Federation a reason to take matters farther.

Cutting off rail links to Kaliningrad might be seen as a declaration of war, the ultimate provocation, that could signal the end of Lithuania as a country. Have Lithuanian leaders their heads in the right place? Provoking a powerful neighbour might not be the best action to undertake and especially when logistically any support is a world away if things go south and things might go south in a matter of days if not hours if the blockade is implemented and maintained.
