    The popular rumor is that he's been hesitant to join Russia so far because if he sacrifices his military and police in an invasion he won't have enough troops to oppress his people and he might get overthrown.

    A guy is walking down the street in Minsk, the capital of Belarus very close to the protests when suddenly a police car full of cops pulls up. The cops jump out of the car and start beating up the guy.
    The poor guy then yells: "No, please, stop! I voted for Lukashenko!"
    One of the cops then responds: "Shut up, liar! No one voted for Lukashenko!"

      Ukraine had a democratic government in Kiev before 2014, remember Victoria Nuland's famously leaked phone call with the US ambassador to Ukraine Jeffery Pyat where she said 'fuck the EU' and was talking about who the new Ukrainian president and prime minister would be, you think this is normal behavior for a foreign government like the US that has no historical attachment to Ukraine to decide who their next government will be?

    If Belarus really tries that, this would be pretty quickly the end of Lukashenko's reign because Russia won't rush to Belarus to help him stay in power as they don't have the resources for that at the moment. Lukashenko requires all military in his own country as that's basically what keeps him power in the first place.

      This is high-calorie propaganda. The author does not mention that Belarus has the healthiest economy in the entire post-Soviet space, the cleanest and most comfortable cities, there is practically no corruption, there are no oligarchs in power, as well as other agents of the American or British special services. And the last thesis worries the shadow rulers of the West the most. The difference between the Western dictatorship and the dictatorship of Belarus is that in the West it is hidden, manipulative, and in Belarus it is manifested. And Lukashenko, as a man of the people, is not cut off by his roots from the people and acts for the benefit of his people. Since he understands this. Western elites are not even afraid of a nuclear war, since they will be fine in the post-apocalypse. That is why they are provoking Russia to use nuclear weapons in order to turn the whole world against Russia under the pretext of millions of deaths of their fellow citizens. Western elites are evil hundreds of times more than Lukashenko, Putin and Stalin combined.

      Would have been great if it happened, but 2 assumptions that are not so accurate
      First, you assume that whoever is control of the state controls the army, which is incorrect often in unstable regimes or after a switch of goverment. The soviets didnt get to control russia the moment they won, they had to snuff out several opposing groups.
      2nd, russia wouldnt be so keen on seeing their nearby ally being overthrown and do effevtively nothing.

      Or this way:
      > Belarusian forces invade Ukraine
      > leaves Lukashenko unprotected
      > Tsikhanouskaya loyalists invade Belarus
      > they overthrow him
      > Putin sends Russian troops to fight the new Belarusian regime
      > which means less Russian troops in Ukraine
      > Ukrainians recapture all occupied land
      > Ukraine backs the new Belarusian regime against Russian invasion
      > chaos ensues in Russia
      > Putin loses power

    Im from Minsk, Belarus. This is most accurate video in English in whole TH-cam. Great work, guys. Lukashenko and Putin will be sentenced, and Ukraine win this war and we, finally, will be free from dictatorship. Belarus will be free!
