@777chicha777 that's the problem with these Lithuanians. WHen I ask them "what threats did Russia pose to Lithuania from independence till joining NATO in 2004, they always have no answer, quoting instead the pre-independence era. They just decided to hold on to prehistoric grudges for no real reason- or perhaps the reason isn't understandable to anyone but Lithuanians.

@michalr8052 you aren't answering my question either, because you aren't Lithuanian and you don't share a border with Russian territory. Also if you're younger than 40 years old, you have no real "experience" of Warsaw pact relations and if you're older, the communist USSR of then is not capitalist Russia of today.

@michalr8052 the Russian annexation of Crimea was peaceful, and that's all that matters. You say attack like Russia destroyed infrastructure and killed people. If you're Czech, you should know something about self determination, and the freedom to choose your allegiance in a peaceful referendum. Crimea made their choice, Donbass made theirs, even Lithuania made theirs and they've been living in peace. Whatever hysterical and baseless decisions they make after that is their responsibility as well as the consequences to bear.

@roberts.1400 Ukraine broke the terms of the Budapest Memorandum first by holding talks with NATO in 2010.

@frenchimp you're making assumptions. This agreement was signed over not just Ukraine, but also Belarus and Kazakhstan. If they maintained neutrality and gave up their nukes, their territorial borders as presently constituted would be respected and security interests defended. The right to talk to whoever they like wasn't a factor in the Budapest Memorandum. People were a lot less reckless then than now.

@michalr8052 Ukraine is a different matter as Putin had been very patient in waiting for Poroshenko and Zelensky to implement the Minsk Agreements. At least he gave peace a chance. If it was Stalin, he'd have taken Kyiv in 2014 when the US deep state overthrew Ukraine's democratically elected government, not just Crimea. Fun fact: Stalin isn't even Russian.

@michalr8052 ah, see what you wrote. "People of rest of Ukraine don't" LOL. Interesting stuff. Anyone that wants to leave Ukraine is free to fight for it. Donbass and SE Ukraine are free now. Rest easy.

@lukaspetrauskas3982 dude I asked you to tell me how "Russia oppresses it's neighbours" and you're responding to me with instances of what Russia is doing for Belarus? Does that look like oppression to you? "It's oppression to sell weapons to Belarus"? "It's oppression to get money from Russia"?

@lukaspetrauskas3982 this is the same thing I experience with Lithuanians. When I try to find out the root causes of their distrust and hatred of Russia, I keep running into logical brick walls. Most Europeans opinions of Russia are shaped by its turbulent history on either side of the 8 years of peace between the fall of the USSR and the first wave of NATO expansion. Before 1991 and after 1999. Those were the golden years of peace in Europe. Then absolute hysteria took over.

@slartybarfastb3648 more hysterical speculation and fear mongering.

@2hotflavored666 what exactly are you responding to? :/

@lukaspetrauskas3982 I schooled in Belarus for 6 years, and in that time all I saw was brotherly relationships between Belarusians and Russians and Ukrainians. Nothing like oppression. Maybe you can tell me: what oppression are you talking about, can you elaborate? How was Russia oppressing Ukraine for example, before this war began?

@pasijutaulietuviuesas9174 of course, all the dates you gave were after 1991, and for other countries, not Lithuania. After independence Russia bothered Lithuania not even for one day. The United States doesn't have one puppet: it has 31. Russia will deal with them all based on individual merit and precedence.
