  Nothing says “Let’s try to resolve the issues between our states” like naming a street after someone who’s considered a terrorist by your neighbor. Has no practical value, no historical significance for your city. Just to piss someone off. This is a kindergarten-level politics.

    All Lithuanian liberty activists killed by soviets during occupation were labeled as "terrorists" by USSR. Should LT treat them as terrorists because USSR labeled them so? By the way there is at least one statue of Lithuanian liberty fighting "terrorist" in Chicago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolfas_Ramanauskas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolfas_Ramanauskas

    How are you going to deal with authoritarian states which give a fuck about nothing?

        That's an option that states do not always have. You'll have to make a point in one way or another.

    You should check out russian diplomats like Mariya Zaharova or Sergey Lavrov, if you want to get some "kindergarten-level" diplomacy. They do really not care about public image. This act is polite compared to what they say and pull off.
