I believe Russians are generally happy. Belorussians are not. Something has got to give there. They do not have the big country super power mentality that Russians do. They also have a front row seat to the explosive growth the Baltics have had in the post soviet period. I expect sooner or later Putinist Russia will reel them in by force. Like Ukraine onne party state fascist Russia can’t have a western leaning and prosperous Belarus lest Russians notice the raw deal they are getting.
How do you know Belorussians aren't happy?
Your sarcastic tirade is not based on facts.
What ‘explosive growth’ in the Baltic are you talking about? Estonia is a single semi-decent Baltic state end the rest are basket cases living off EU sibsidies like they were living off Russian sibsidies under USSR. These ‘thriving’ states are set to lose up to a half of their populations by 2050.
‘Prosperous Ukraine’ is even more laughable. Ukruin with its ‘Western lean’ is not an example even for African countries anymore. It keeps hitting one bottom after another ever since ‘embraced Western choice’.
