Lies,Lithuania and Letonia most exports (which is around 1/3 from what they produce) is sold in Russia.
They are just saying they are against Russians but they are not.
Or these people who are saying they are against Russians are just trolling.

Russian and Lithuanian are not even mutually intelligible, when Russians speak in Lithuanian, they have a clear accent, etc. There is no suprise that some Lithuanians are suprised when foreigners say that they hear little difference between the two languages.

Lithuanian and Russian is as different as English and Klingon. The point be that it doesn't sound Russian at all, So I ask people why they think that

That is nonsense,are enough common words between Latvian/Lithuanian and Russian.
I even noticed how closed the sonority of Latvian/Lithuanian is to Russian.
Go look at alphabets,lol and see that you almost got same sounds in alphabets.

Why do you want that an average foreigner would know difference between lithuanian language and Russian when you have no idea what's the difference between Congo and Central African Republic ?
