Don't all Lithuanians agree with the idea that Poland was illegally
occupying large Lithuanian territories before WW2, including the city
of Wilno?

Aren't Lithuanians grateful that Stalin stole Wilno away from Poland
and gave it to Lithuania in 1939, in exchange for Lithuania's
dictatorial rulers enthusiastically allowing Soviet troops to be
stationed all over Lithuania?

Didn't the city of Wilno, taken from Poland in WW2, become the capital
of Lithuania?

Didn't the Poles and Jews, who made up the vast majority of Wilno's
pre-War population, disappear god knows where, with Vilnius now being
almost completely Juden- and Polen-frei?
