You can look up polling of russian language users in the Baltics regarding the full scale invasion of Ukraine. It is easy to find. Not a very good result for your argument.

But we're talking about Lithuania. That's the thing, before you cite a national security threat to strip away a lot of peoples freedom there should be a credible threat to the security of your nation. Making it based on someones passport is just ineffectual as well. Just a "well they attacked them so it stands to reason they'll get us next". Why arent kazakhstan, turkmenistan etc reacting the same way? They should be more afraid since Russia would have a much easier fight against them I'm sure.

And still how is allowing them to visit their home country only 4 times a year except for business trips and other odds and ends gonna help anything even if there were such a threat? There is no point to this law other than to target russians.

Btw, your not doing the russians any favour by spreading their victimhood narratives.

It's not just a "narrative" if there is a law that specifically targets russians!

So abandon your work, force your lithuanian spouse to move, uproot your kids or see your extended family almost never again. Sorry you're losing out bud sucks for you I guess, not Lithuanias problem though we just make the laws forcing you to choose.

Also seems like plenty of Americans who are against Trump seem to be all for other countries countering.

Plenty of Americans against Trump are still not opposed to the genocide in Gaza. There's a significant portion of Against Trumpers who were on board with the Iraq invasion, Liz Cheney comes to mind for instance. Here's a protip: If the americans want you to fight a war its not because they care for you...

edit: still waiting on a reason for how this helps lithuania even if there were a national security threat

Okay so we went from "how do you know it targets random civilians?" to "So what if it targets random civilians?" well at least you're being honest about your disregard for them I suppose... Really feeling the sober attitude.

I would love to see that statistic where 85% of Russians in Lithuania support annexation or invasions of Lithuania, it's gonna be a wild read I'm sure

Well I'm not seeing any such laws being put up, hence my assumption. So either this isn't the actual reason for that law, or the lithuanian government is comically inept.

as if you started with a civil and restrained tone lmao

I wonder why your unlimited imagination still struggles to understand why it might not be a good idea to visit a country at war often. Especially a country that’s broken every truce that it ever promised to uphold and still aims to expand its territory to former imperial ambitions.

I assume visiting the US or Israel is still a-ok though?

And here I was thinking I shouldn’t judge one account just because they have a hexbear alt.

I keep forgetting hexbear is (used to be?) an alt and that I was saying the same shit like you all... How time flies 🤷

Imagine living in a neighboring country for work but not being able to take your kid to see their grandparents more than 4 times a year.

Or marrying a foreign national and living with them or any of the myriad of other reasons that makes someone move to another country. But your limited imaginination can only come up with one scenario and therefore it must be the only reason for why a (bela-)russian might not live in their home counrty.

Go back to where you came from if you like it so much

If you're being cruel to russians because you fear some invasion, even though there are no hints that anything of the sort is happening, in a way that wouldn't even hinder such a made-up invasion then its pointless. And pointless cruelty targetting russians is russophobic.

Because it targets every Russian and Belarusian citizen.

All concepts are made up, thats what makes them conceptual. Whether or not theres hate involved well.... I've seen the language used here
