the US didn't lose that war - it just became largely unpopular at home and the US just (gradually) withdrew their personnel (this is as much a I have gathered from various media throughout the years)
also the North Vietnamese/Viet Kong casualties of the war were hmm... much higher than those American

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2820]
I can assure you that things you described don't happen in Poland (like jon said - I haven't heard of such incidents in Poland, either - unless we are talking about some war scenario -tfu tfu) - so yeah your comparison does not really make sense here in Poland
ok. after some thought: there used to be such things in Poland back in the 90's (abductions, gunpoint robberies) and early 2000's - however I haven't heard of any such occurence in the last 10-15 years (unless it was some gang violence but even gang violence is much lower than 15-20 years ago)
Your own death doesn't happen often but we make plans for it.

yeah, you did the most of heavy lifting when the war with Japan was almost over (when was Manchuria offensive? August of 1945?)

Paulina points 3 and 4 are mutually exclusive at the moment - Putin would win if the elections were held today - the presidential elections in Russia were actually held like half a year ago - it is true that they were not quite fair and all (the majority of Russians also support the war in Ukraine - afaik Russian television even stopped calling it Special Military Operation)
points 3 and 4 are mutually exclusive unless your point 5 goes before them
3. Fire Putin.
4. Conduct democratic, fair elections

Lithuania is probably the most visited of all these and mostly Vilnius (Wilno in Polish) - one thing: proximity; secondly: Polish heritage - besides Vilnius, Lithuania is fields, forests, lakes and the Baltic - we have all of these in Poland
for Latvia and Estonia the main attraction for Poles would also probably be their respective capitals (the language barrier in the capitals is the least I would presume because more people speak English there - the national languages between the countries are very different - even Latvian and Lithuanian which are related are not quite mutually intelligible)
I don't personally know anyone who's been in these places, though - but I live a secluded life on the other end of Poland (though I have seen videos on youtube made by Polish travellers to Vilnius a couple of years back)
