What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorCNBC reports Lithuania could lift its ban on nuclear weapons as it bolsters security over Russia.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMoscow is already protesting, naturally, from the country with the most nukes.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo a small country wants a big deterrent. Sort of like buying a guard dog after the neighbor builds a moat.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHank, that is almost insightful. I'm alarmed. I've been to Vilnius, and the embassy coffee was far more dangerous.
