Belarus’ dictatorial president Alexander Lukasheko is getting ever closer to the Kremlin - this week he even brokered a truce between the Wagner group and president Putin to prevent a march on Moscow. But Belarusians don’t want to be a vassal of Russia and - outside of this small country’s borders - a group of exiled pro-democracy protesters are taking up arms and training themselves to fight back. So can they overthrow Europe's last dictator? And if they do reclaim their country, could it be pivotal to the war in Ukraine?

I thought this was about Macron.
It’s over with him. The Neocons shot their wad a few years ago and, despite the (empty) promises from the West, he understood that FAR MORE FREEDOM for his country existed with staying with Russia, and that is the way it will be.
Perhaps Ukraine can invade it.
If Lukasheko were overthrown by Belarusian nationalists, Putin would have a cerebral hemorrhage. He has almost nothing left to use to suppress Belarusian independence, having squandered so much in Ukraine. Stalin’s dream of a Europe “dominated by the Slavic race” (his words, not mine) would lie in ashes.
Nothing about either Lukashenko or Putin has anything to do with FREEDOM. To believe otherwise is simply delusional.
Is this an acknowledgement that Putin isn't dictator?
“Nothing about either Lukashenko or Putin has anything to do with FREEDOM. To believe otherwise is simply delusional.”
It does when one is looking down the THROAT of what the Globalists have in store for the West.
But for people who think it’s a ‘conspiracy theory’ DESPITE what we see in the real world, like THOUSANDS of farms being seized to get people to stop eating meat, well, I just pray for you guys.
Wherever there is a group who wants to overthrow a government, you will ALWAYS find the scumbag CIA and the GloboHomo Deep State behind it. 100% guaranteed that the depraved Puppet Biden regime has their smelly fingers behind this.
Freedom to have their country pillaged by Muskovite oligarchs? The culture of "boyars" bequeathed to Moscow by the Mongols in the 13th century>
"war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength" somebody once wrote.
Those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it. Those who DO study history are doomed to stand by watching helplessly while everyone else repeats it. *sigh*
Zelensky was only just elected to his first term as President, shouldn’t you wait awhile before you compare him to the dictators for life, Putin and Lukashenko?
Yes, we are loosing our freedoms in the West, but as of yet we still have much more than in either Russia or Belarus.
“Freedom to have their country pillaged by Muskovite oligarchs?”
I’m talking about Russia in 2023, not Russia in 1995, when what you say was true.
Not everything is static. The ONLY REASON that the WEF doesn’t run Russia, as they apparently do in all of Europe, is because Putin ELIMINATED those oligarchs as a political force.
“Yes, we are loosing our freedoms in the West, but as of yet we still have much more than in either Russia or Belarus.”
Link please.
Try pulling up RT (Russia Today) in Europe and see what you find. Then try pulling up CNN (or BBC) in Moscow, and you’ll see in loads just fine. And don’t even start me talking about income taxes in Russia - it’s not a state secret.
“FAR MORE FREEDOM for his country existed with staying with Russia, “
A truly insane take.
Here’s a sampling of Russo-Belarussian “FREEDOM”:
Jews are not the only minority who are alleged to have had their human rights violated in Belarus. On 25 March 2004, the Associated Press reported that a ban exists on home worship in the country and that members of four Protestant churches had recently asked the government to repeal a 2002 law which forbade them worshipping from their own homes, although they were members of legally registered religions. The Christian Post reported in a 21 April 2005 article that non-denominational, charismatic churches were greatly affected by the law, since none of these churches own buildings. Protestant organizations have also complained of censorship because of the ban on importing literature without approval by government officials.
According to Forum 18, textbooks widely used in Belarusian schools (as of 2002) contain anti-religious views similar to those taught in the USSR:
“Religion does not teach a believer to strive to lead a dignified life, to fight for his freedom or against evil and oppression. This is all supposed to be performed for him by supernatural forces, above all, god. All that is left for the believer to do is to be his pathetic petitioner, to behave as a pauper or slave...Religion’s promises to give a person everything that he seeks in it are but illusion and deception.”
The organization also reported that charismatic Protestant churches (such as Full Gospel) and Greek Catholic and independent Orthodox churches (such as those unaffiliated with the Russian Orthodox Church) have encountered difficulty in registering churches.
In 2003 Protestant groups accused the government of Belarus of waging a smear campaign against them, telling Poland’s Catholic information agency KAI that they had been accused of being Western spies and conducting human sacrifice. Charter 97 reported in July 2004 that Baptists who celebrated Easter with patients at a hospital in Mazyr were fined and threatened with confiscation of their property.
\ What about that doesn't fit the definition of dictator, one approved of by us?

Putin will send in troops and he'll appoint a puppet to replace Lukasheko.
Zelensky was elected in a landslide. He’s doing what Presidents are supposed to do, defend their countries from invasions. He doesn’t need to be overthrown. He can be voted out, just as Poroshenko was before him. He inherited a civil war, and has done little more than Lincoln did during his civil war.
Putin isn’t in Europe. Russia is primarily an Asian country, with a fraction of its territory within Europe.
