Why would Russia stop with Lithuania...or any other country?
Because sooner or later it becomes too expensive, too difficult to hold things together both abroad and domestically and things fall apart.
Someone made a point that either Russia is expanding or it is imploding. It is not the most stable nation in existence.
With the current issues of Russian declining demographics, economical downturn, slow transition away from fossil fuels globally, tightening the screws on their own population with educated people bugging out and Putin getting older with all the potential infighting that will involve especially with Russian institutions being undermined for years with power concentration to Kreml added to chronic corruption in every area of Russian governance any dream of empire their leaders may hold is just that. A dream.
Their chances to keep down industrial nations with strong sense of unity and spirit in this day and age are nonexistent whatever temporary gains they could make in battlefield.
