I mean, about fucking time, jesus. People who are from a terrorist state and support the war cannot have residence in a neighbouring country. That's a national safety problem right there.
- Like most of people from Turkey, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Egypt?
  
  Not sure why you are getting down voted. I thought japanese intermittent campa in US were unpopular and shouldn't you apply the same logic here? I get Russia being unpopular but why hate on random citizens who are trying to escape the situation and it isn't even certain if they support the regime.
  
  1164 people is most of Russians? Go back to kindergarten for some math lessons.
This was an IQ test.
the message here is ambiguous. are those 1164 arbitrary bela/russians or they're actual threats that happened to be bela/russian. that being said, if one thinks we should just kick people out because they were from the wrong country, just know y'all are becoming Nazis. this shit is scarier than you think. now that the precedent of kicking them out has been set, what's the next line?
- If only there was a news story that provided additional information on why those individuals were selected out of the ~58,000 Belarusian and ~16,000 Russian citizens living in Lithuania.
- They were being questioned whether they support war, how the war started, what Crimea belongs to, thoughts about the soviet union.
  
  If they're moronic enough to not lie, their temporary permit is no longer extended.
  
  You make it sound like they all have just one opinion, but some lie and some don't.
- Why let the propaganda into your home? If every nation did this it would increase pressure back in Russia. If they are actively attacking an innocent state then why should their people get a vacation?
  
  This is about Russians living elsewhere not on vacation
- We have been "nazi" for a long time. All states and nations are rooted in nationalism and violence.
  
  After wwii plenty of nazis who switched side were welcomed by the allies to help in the cold war

- now that the precedent of kicking them out has been set, what's the next line?
  
  Just so you know that is called the slippery slope fallacy.
  
  Just because one person did thing x and then did thing y, and think y was bad. It does not mean that everyone who does thing x inevitably is going to do thing y
  
  You have to provide a little more evidence than the Nazis did it.
That seems bad
- Can't say I particularly blame them. Russia keeps using Russians living in the area as an excuse to invade their neighbors.
  
  So basically the same reasoning the US had for throwing all their Japanese people into concentration camps during the second world war. Guess it's ok to be racist now as long as it's towards people of Russian descent.
This is how racism begin
Baltic States are Nazi states. What a surprise!
- It's okay, not everybody needs to understand what such big words as "nazi" or "state" means, little buddy. You'll get there.
  
  Oh look, Nazi supporter!
- I didn't know that Baltic states were, actually, Russian oblasts.
  
  Russia is Russia, Russia's neighbors are Russia, Russia's neighbors' neighbors are Russia. I am Russia, you are Russia and the world is at peace.
  
  Or else.
