What are you blathering on about???

The protesters want to get rid of a corrupt tyrant. They don't want West-integration.

Protesters are paid by The EU. The same thing happened in Ukraine. The EU lured Ukraine about joining the EU and then tricked them.You left Ukraine alone with Russia. Ukraine is vulnerable to Russia more than ever now.

Same fate awaits Greece if they think The EU will save them. Erdoğan will eat Greece alive.

The only way Russia can "swallow" Ukraine or Belarus for that matter is if they become a proper country and make those countries PROSPERITY be dependant on Russia. That is the only way that can happen. Otherwise Putins Russia is next in line on the collapse list WHEN the old order in Belarus falls and becomes a European country.

Putin just told Europe hands off Belarus. That's as clear a line in the sand as you need. Nobody is in a better position to influence events in Belarus than Russia.

That's what they all say, they may not get western integration but they'll get the consequences of western intervention.

That will happen in a decade or two, it's just a matter of time. My prediction stands.

Is this a prediction for you? It's just an opinion or wishful thinking. You actually predicted in the first half of 2014 that it was going to happen until the end of that year, and you even got called out for it.

Maybe we should start doing that as well. Then the mods would realize that every thread turns into a total mess and take action. I'm tempted.

At the very least, maybe require some commentary along with a tweet or something. That would make it more acceptable to me.

Russia should clear Belarus from pro-Western agents when The US is busy with election mess in november. It will be a nice timing.

"Intervene" is a strong word.

Your beloved tin pot despots are hugging power with 3% support. Recently Telegram did a vote where only people from Belarus could vote and the result that they got is basically 65% Tihonovskaya, 2% Lukashenko, 10% against everybody else, other candidates like 4%(Several of them) and around 19-20% people didn't vote in the election. Around 1 million people voted in that poll, was geoblocked to only people in Belarus with Belarussian sim cards. So there is very little margin of error in this regard.

Basically, he really has very low support. He falsified the elections. Even basic picture from protest rallies vs Lukashenko rallies show that.

Have we started blaming the CIA yet?

It is hard to blame them. Lukashenko has been on and off blaming Europe and Russia. He captured like 30 mercenaries from Donbass and claimed that they were Russian agents around a week ago. Though in reality they were just passing by or live in Belarus. By mercs i mean just people who are either mercs for a living or fought in Donbass at some point.

Lukashenko didn't blame the CIA or USA at all.

I guess EU sanctions are not intervening either to regime-change-chodes.

It is hard to blame them.

It's actually easy to blame them for having been doing a bad job and letting Lukashenko rule Belarus for 26 years.

Lukashenko didn't blame the CIA or USA at all.

Because it's the EU this time, after 26 years in power Lukashenko has to go due to EU-sanctions only.

This summerizes it nicely. Which of the left states are proper democracies? Now compare it to the right side.

[Beren]

What a nice company Team Lukashenka is, how come Orban hasn't congratulated him yet? Everyone should congratulate Lukashenka if he leaves peacefully.

lol that you think the U.S. etc are democracies that serve the people and not corporations.

Trick question, because corporations are considered legal people!

A Russian team was flown in to take over Belarusian state television. The fight against the eternal anglo begins. Compared to Ukraine it will be easy peasy for Russia to protect its brothers from the eternal anglo.
