Yes Lukashenko always kept Russia at a healthy distance.
I'd love for Belarus to be a success outside but stay out of the EU and NATO. Provide a healthy alternative model. They have low tax rates, low crime, and it's a bloody clean and tidy looking place from all the vlogs I've seen. There must be some potential there if they can drop the remnants of Soviet bureaucracy.
5:20 - "You can see what the difference is between peaceful demonstrators who want real change in their country, and those rioters - in the United States in particular - who burn everything down, who destroy cars, and they blame the police. Police are here to protect us and our property, and not beat us down"
Not sure what to make of this guy. Some Irish dude living in Belarus. he seemed pretty happy under Lukashenkos brutal dictatorship or whatever the fuck, but says "This is not a colour revolution but a genuine grievance from the people of Belarus who want change.".
I hope he's right, and we can have a peaceful resolution.

Don’t speak for me. My mind thinks nothing like yours because I care about people. You, on the other hand?……care about no one but yourself.
Nonsense.
The reason I even bother with people is because I have a bleeding heart and I care too much.

It would have escalated for sure. Maybe not a soviet nuclear response but it would have changed the calculus. To think it wouldnt seems naive. But these are just counterfactuals and we can never rly know.
Yeah we never truly can. Treaty of versailles is another good one. I can never decide if they were too harsh on Germany, or not harsh enough.
Why are far right people praising communist dictatorships. It's truly bizarre.
The Korean war would have been won if McArthur had been allowed to use tactical nukes on China. Then you would have had a unified Korean peninsular under a capitalist government and it would have kicked ass.
Couldn't you like at least look at the flow of people between the two sides to see which one might be the better place to live?

North Korea is cool as hell and should be preserved as the whole world doesn't need to be like New York.
And also don't you think it's odd the way North Korea is ALWAYS the aggressor in the media. Reality is that yanks and South Koreans do all sorts of shit that never even gets reported on - like the sanctions, infringing on North Korean shipping, fucking with North Korean exports, etc.
LOL I called it.
We're too old to be edgelords about everything, man.
I suppose Soy and Aldra are going to tell us all how great North Korea is and how the USA should just butt out of South Korean affairs and let a war happen because America sucks and China is awesome.

Ya and then he comes in my thread and posts booty holes and stuff like that, like it’s all my fault what happened ..
A lot of people have a real hard time getting over their exes. I'm glad I got that out of the way when I was still a teenager when it took me like a year to get over my 8 month "long term" relationship.
It was 4 years ago and he's still writing mean comments. At some point you've just gotta let it go. To paraphrase Douglas Adams, "So long, and thanks for all the pussy".
