        Yeah. Lukashenko knows the war is really unpopular with his people and that supporting Russia with troops would be a death sentence for him.

        That Lukashenko didn’t even condem the Ukrainian counterinvasion shows how much of a minefield this war is for him.

          Why would Belarusians side with Russia… it aint like Russians were “nicer” to them than ukrainains, georgians, moldovans, kazakhs, balts, chenchens, jfc i am getting tired listing them. you get the vibe…

            Because Russian troops are stationed within a day’s travel of Minsk and the country depends on Russia for ocean access?

            Same reason Kazakhs have traditionally supported Russia, until they got that new shipping route built that bypasses Russia entirely.

              Moreso, Russia has actively supported the current Belarusian government including helping to put down protests in Belarus.

      His country is a defence of Russian border. At least a buffer zone.

      They’ve tried. Didn’t work out well. I’ll leave that as an exercise to the reader, I’m not sure what’s been decided is misinformation.

              The words you are looking for are “russian authoritarian propagandist”. Technically not fascist, but just as reprehensible.

                Hey, just as a heads up, “authoritarian” as a word is part of horseshoe theory and we don’t take kindly to that here.

                Also saying someone is “just as reprehensible” as a fascist seems pretty damn trivializing of how bad fascism is.

                You’re new here but this is stuff you’ll catch a ban for moving forward

    Oooo, someone wants to be in the history books as “the guy who wanted to end the conflict.”

    No deal, Lukashenko. You’ll always be a Boris Yeltsin knockoff, and a bootlicker, and a spineless shill, so sayeth history.

      I don’t think so. I think he’s worried Ukraine could do an incursion in Belarus and stir Belarussians to topple him.

        And he should be worried. He backed Russia. He has slept with the invader, now he can rot with him.
