But tell me, how does a nation mostly constituted of Poles and Lithuanians fit within the narrative of "every race has its own nation" as you exposed before. Now, I can see Belorussia to Russia, Ukraine, or Poland since they're all East Slavs so by some extension all of one race. But Lithuanians are not slav, they are Balts. They are like Estonians.

So by the philosophy you have so discussed earlier, the notion of joining in commonwealth with non-members of your race (the slavs) to form a nation not entirely your own is contradictory.

By this, you should quietly slip back through the backdoor of Russia and apologize for leaving while Yeltsin was home.
