After consideration, the Seimas approved the proposal to repeal the constitutional amendment banning nuclear weapons Press release on September 22, 2026 (Seimas news ● Seimas photos ● Seimas broadcasts and video recordings ) After deliberation, the Seimas approved a constitutional amendment that aims to remove the provision that weapons of mass destruction and foreign military bases cannot be located on Lithuanian territory. After the discussion, 99 members of the Seimas voted in favor of this amendment (bill No. XVP-1729(2)), 13 voted against, and 5 parliamentarians abstained. According to the Seimas statute, once the procedure for adopting a constitutional amendment begins, there must be two votes in the Seimas session, with at least a 3-month interval between these votes. A draft law amending the Constitution is considered adopted by the Seimas if, in each vote, at least two-thirds of all members of the Seimas, i.e., 94 parliamentarians, vote in favor of the draft. According to the draft's author, Speaker of the Seimas Juozas Olekas, since the adoption of the Constitution, Lithuania's security environment, the country's international situation, and measures to ensure national security have fundamentally changed. "NATO's nuclear deterrence is one of the essential parts of the Alliance's collective defense architecture. The purpose of NATO's nuclear capabilities is to preserve peace, prevent nuclear blackmail and violence, and provide reliable deterrence. This deterrence system, as part of collective defense, has been operating for many decades and is one of the most important factors reducing the risk of large-scale aggression against the Alliance," the Speaker of the Seimas has said. According to J. Olekas, in recent years the European security situation has changed significantly, and Russia's aggression against Ukraine, the escalation of nuclear rhetoric, the modernization of nuclear capabilities, and the strengthening of military infrastructure in Lithuania's neighborhood, including the Kaliningrad region and Belarus, necessitate ensuring that Lithuania's ability to fully participate in NATO's deterrence system is not restricted. As noted during the Seimas session by the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Remigijus Motuzas, the vast majority of NATO countries have no restrictions. "Our neighboring countries like Latvia, Estonia, and Poland also have no restrictions. Lithuania must clearly show its allies and opponents that it will defend its independence by all means. We cannot be less protected than other NATO countries. We must send a signal that Lithuania is a full-fledged part of NATO's nuclear deterrence," the politician emphasized. Currently, Article 137 of the Constitution stipulates that there cannot be weapons of mass destruction or foreign military bases in Lithuania.

Reuters report Saudi Arabia has restarted operations at its East-West Pipeline and could resume exports from the Red Sea port of Yanbu later on Tuesday, three sources briefed on the matter said. The pipeline was pumping at a low rate, two of them said. State energy firm Saudi Aramco did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Drone attacks forced Saudi Arabia to shut its East-West Pipeline on September 13, halting crude loadings at the kingdom's Yanbu port.
Defense Minister Israel Katz, warning of what he called various intentions and information, "from Iran to Erdogan": "If one Israeli soldier or citizen is kidnapped, the city of Gaza will be evacuated southward of its million residents, as we did in Gideon's Chariots II, and will be treated the same way Rafah and Beit Hanoun and 70% of Gaza's territory were treated, until he is returned."

Very interesting and on point. This type of Op is what I was thinking about NOT an actual attempt to conquer a NATO member. Russia could/would pull back if meeting more resistance than anticipated. Or they could push deeper is resistance is weak and the NATO response is fractured and limited. |

Neat. Some people have very cool hobbies or jobs. |

Shit... this will not be good for Ukraine or the auto industry and the countries behind it. I dont know if its been struck before or not.
...called 112

 ..." The facility had already been out of operation following previous Russian attacks that disabled its equipment. Naftogaz says the latest strike caused a critical level of damage, making restoration of the facility effectively impossible."
Go on then... enact the sanctions.

From reading the comments, it sounds like it was a civilian drone that was just NEAR the base (.5-1Km) and they called 112 (I assume its their version of 911) when they located the drone operator. I could be wrong. When I was a Patrol cop, a large Navy base butted up to my sector and Id get calls sometimes for Navy dudes or dependents trying to enter the base DUI, with warrants, or suspended license. I asked them what they (DOD Police) will do in case of a real terrorist attack and they just said "call 911". I assume there is a more robust response now days. |
