Silence cannot be punished.
Living under the stress of being written to every day, of being asked to meet and threatened with violence against you and your family, of being told that they know where you live and will come, beat you up, shoot you, blow you up. Is it possible to be jealous of this? No. I experience it myself, albeit on a much smaller scale. But such couch knights are only scary on the internet, when told that the info will be made public and the stories passed on to both the police and employers, they delete everything they can and dive howling to the side. Although he is no stranger to the fence and the explosions near it.
Or is it possible to envy another information flow? From the front? Requests floating down an inexorable river. I have seen and heard what soldiers asking for a car look like - like little children in front of a teacher at the blackboard who have not learned their lesson. Heads down, nervously clenching their fists. Because they have nowhere else to turn. Valdas is their HOPE. They have seen him on Ukrainian TV, they know from the press on YouTube and social networks that he is delivering hundreds of cars to the front. Haven't you heard about it? It doesn't get reported in our country. It's a non-Likbaite affair. The Vatican Parliament and the paps are more interesting for Lithuanian viewers and readers. Most foundations take jeeps to the front. However, their requests usually start with the following - our brigade has been „stuck“ again with a lost car. We need help. All Lithuanian foundations have hundreds of their own brigades. Thousands of the remaining ones turn to Valdas. Because there is no one else. And this is not to be envied. One can only be glad to be able to contribute something to an ordinary mission and be part of it.
And I certainly don't envy popularity anymore. When strangers you meet on the street know you, stop you, thank you for your help, ask you to take a photo. But this is not Lithuania. In Lithuania, he is known for his deeds, which are colloquialized by both the mainstream and the mainstream media. Because he speaks a language that is well known to the katzzapic world and its sympathisers. Swearing, excrement on every corner, urinating not where you can, but where you want to. Otherwise they do not understand. The most popular swear words in the world are in Mazzoli. And they can't speak another language. They consider themselves masters of wherever their dung-stained shoe stands. And it doesn't matter whether it's a kerchief or a pointe*.
Or maybe dating? From presidential advisers in Lithuania and Ukraine, to members of governments and members of the Parliament or Rada. Ambassadors and their staff, well-known journalists, public figures and influencers. Musicians, actors and other well-known personalities across the country? No. As many as I know. And the fact that when Valdas was involved in the explosives disaster on the frontline, the Lithuanian Embassy in Ukraine tried to contact me through me shows that even if we don't know each other, our connections are visible in the public sphere. Everybody is looking at themselves and how useful you can be to them. When I started working with Valdas, some politicians' likes and comments on my wall magically disappeared. You can almost cross an ocean, be known all over the world, but if you ask Vilma‘i excuse why the sponsors are involved in the ruzzkis to use their full power to go on the offensive. Because there is no evidence to deny the facts. Better to try to say that all the donations are just a soap bubble and that the cars are being shipped for sale. Maybe it will work. Aurimas Mockus, if, as you say, you have crossed the border at least once with a donation car, you know perfectly well that there is not even a theoretical possibility of selling a donation car.
And if it seems that all the fundraisers and the carriers should stick together, then we need to start winking. If it appears. Because here, out of jealousy of others, they are trying to score more karma points than when the partnership law was debated in the Seimas. Violating the constitution. Or maybe not. Already. Everybody manages to get Mined out of the support of the electorate by announcing to the whole of Ukraine what a bird he is and it is better not to deal with him. And if it is possible to unite on the death of Ted, on the death of Tom, some gorilla-fed individuals are already trying to accumulate not only karma points, but also support, by eating pancakes of courage. Although you can't. And even the media have kept the agreement. You can be on the short end of the stick and at the same time gather support for Ukraine because you have been singled out by a little-known activist. I'm a foundation. Other foundations will stand up for me and say - children let's live in friendship. At least in the public space. Leopold and Donald are friends. And some people write openly - you know, they insulted me, then maybe they got embarrassed, maybe they realised they did wrong, and then they removed the post, but I'll still write, so maybe I'll get some support. For the viewers. I'm not a vatnik. I just think that there is no need to persecute vata. That's what law enforcement and intelligence are for. There is no need to know about past trials that have gone in favour of vata. Just like the fact that the white doves in the header are a symbol of peace for all the good ruzzies and pro-Russians and Trumpists who proclaim peace, of course there is no need to make excuses. Because a white dove is only bad if it's chic on a Pushkin monument. Olivia, if you need attention and support, you should speak up for yourself and not take advantage of others. It works better and gets more clickbait. And less envy. Tell us why foundations you had something to do with don't like you and don't want to talk to you. About your described trip to Avdiivka. Under the bullets. Tourist. Where you almost killed yourself and your team through your stupidity and your honour. About the help and support of foundations all over Lithuania in the shoebox campaign you invented, where instead of a thank you, those who participated received a strong eik tu nachui. About the donations in your warehouses, which rotted, broke down, or were pinned everywhere where they were needed and not needed, just not to be shared with others. And so I bowed my head, even though I knew you didn't like me for something, but I humbled myself and phoned to ask for help, because that was your area - the accommodation of Ukrainians in Lithuania. Your answer was, you know, I wouldn't rent an apartment to Ukrainians now, even if I had one. Well, that and the forged documents that almost introduced me and another volunteer to the Ukrainian prison system.
And I don't envy the plebs any more. Anyone with any sense realises that even an ideal husband and wife living under the same roof can sometimes call each other names. And where is the convoy of 50 people. When you call and say that I want to drive the car to Ukraine, you are signing your own sentence. This is not a job as a furist, where they check your details, your CV and your health. This is about you. You read and you know that everything happens, that you cannot even be responsible for the car you love and look after, or that it will fail you at the worst possible moment. You can only drive an automatic? So be it. When the light comes on, if you don't know that it means there's a lack of oil, take it easy and don't keep driving until the engine dies. And don't try to start it after that. Some people find that funny? But Valdas doesn't know the level and skill of his drivers. And when ignorance leads to failure to stick to schedule and plan, it's not the time to pat yourself on the back and say - caca baby. We will do better next time. Driving in the open road and not keeping the distance will result in 3 cars being smashed, not 5. And the Polish steppes are not the centre of Vilnius, where help with the Bolt will arrive in 2 minutes. And when you get people who have their hands in the ground where the clover is not blooming, you get the twists. When on my first trip I was almost dropped off in Ukraine and held for 10 hours at the border, in Vinnitsa, the head of the Foundation cautiously asked me, "You probably never want to come here again. I replied - now I want to come here even more. And I kept my promise. On one of my trips, when I was already in Ukraine, I noticed that I did not have my car documents. I lost it. This was not Valdo's mission. No one flattered or shamed me, I took them back as much as I was entitled to, until a volunteer accidentally discovered them under the seat. I am not complaining. We are all not ideal. Most foundations know me, know that if they turn to me for help, I will help anyone. Why am I not going now? My close circle knows. When the problems are solved, I will go on.
But you are already waiting for an answer to the question of why I envy him. Valdas Bartkevičius as well as Šarūnas Jasiukevičius and Rimas Armaitis can't go to Dubai, Turkey or other countries close to the region for a holiday. They are facing criminal proceedings in Ruzzkine, have been convicted in absentia and are the subject of an international search. I envy them. Because if they are making the Dergers so frothy, then they are doing something very well.
