The author of this so-called discussion
goes by the name "Adomas" and well may we ask is he the
same "Adomas" who wrote - "Shocking results of survey in
Lithuania", in The Baltic Word?" That author goes by the
name Adomas Abromaitis.

If you look up The Baltic Word you will see that most
everything appears to be a criticism of the West and a
suggestion that things were better under Russian control.
Articles like - "Why NATO is dangerous for the Baltic
States," "Lithuania sacrifices old people for the sake
of the European Union," "That Lithuania is now a militarized
zone," and much more. A great deal is anti-US.

It makes one wonder what is this person trying to do on our
Forum? Influence the gullible?

Who knows what Adomas is up to, apart from fast becoming a serial pest.

Does he live in Australia, I wonder. If so, he could take his complaints to consulates in Adelaide, Sydney or Melbourne; and this year, the Lithuanian government intends to establish an embassy in Australia.

I don't know much about Lithuania, but there's nothing Googled that suggests it's a particularly bad place. 2.7 million people only, but with a very high suicide rate. We trade with them to the value of $114 million. My wife has a friend of Lithuanian descent, and there are about 16,000 others like her in Australia.

Apart from that, there is only Adomas's complaints - about which we can do absolutely nothing.

I get suspicious when someone persists in attacking
Western institutions and not a word against "Mother
Russia.

Dear Foxy,

I do not support the state of Israel. It follows the pattern of the nations where Jews were second-class citizens. It is not right that non-Jews are second-class citizens in Israel. I believe there should be no second-class citizens in any nation. I believe people should have the right to believe or not to believe what they wish, and it should be no business of the government. I am neither a citizen of Lithuania or Israel even though my ancestors come from both places so I don't have a voice in either country. However, I am a human being and am concerned what happens to human beings in any country.

Dear David F.,

Thank You for sharing.

This is something on which we can both agree.
