MINSK, Belarus — Minutes after President Aleksandr G. Lukashenko of Belarus vowed to stand firm against protesters he reviled as “rats,” “trash” and “bandits,” antigovernment demonstrators staged their biggest protest yet on Sunday to oppose a fraud-tainted presidential election (http://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/09/world/europe/belarus-election-lukashenko.html) a week earlier.
Tens of thousands of protesters — some estimates put their number at well over 200,000 — turned out in the center of Minsk, the capital, dwarfing a rally of Mr. Lukashenko’s supporters earlier in the day.
It appeared to be the largest protest in the history of Belarus, (http://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/29/world/europe/russia-belarus-putin-lukashenko.html) a former Soviet republic that Mr. Lukashenko has led since 1994.
As the crowd gathered around a Soviet-era obelisk on Victors Avenue, many chanted for Mr. Lukashenko to leave and waved the traditional white and red flag, which became a symbol of the opposition after the president replaced it with a more Soviet-looking national flag soon after coming to power.

Asking Russia for help? I'm starting to believe those Russian mercenaries that were arrested in Belarus were part of a scheme to get people to feel sorry for Lukashenko.

According to these “experts” Putin’s not likely to give too much help to the Belarus president.... They aren’t on the best of terms.

Lukashenko moved towards the West to give the impression he's doing the people's will and show Putin he can't be controlled. He even invited Secretary of State Pompeo to Belarus. Although Lukashenko and Putin aren't on the best of terms, what we have here is opportunity and Putin doesn't pass up on opportunity unless the cons outweigh the benefits. Putin doesn't need to act now. When Lukashenko is getting close to being overthrown, that is when Putin will come and help since he'll have more leverage to get what he wants in return. The other option is less desirable and that is to allow Lukashenko to be overthrown and have Belarussians install a pro Western president. For Putin the best option is to help keep Lukashenko as president and as their puppet so Belarus will be in debt to Russia for many more years.

LukaShouldGo, has no more moved towards the west than VVP has thought of handing back Crimea. He just made 'noises'
'Sasha' has a bolt hole in the mountains near Sochi in Russia and that''s were the failed dictators end up ... like Yanu from Ukraine.
IF you are interested in what REALLY happening ..
This video was made by a media group who have had a friendly visit by OMAN and been closed down ..

It is being distributed by social media and the internet keeps going up and down in Minsk today
Another source of news:

Sasha seems to have shot his bolt and things might turn nastier ..
Those of you believing this is Maiden II clearly don't know what's going on in BY ...The crowds are determined to remain peaceful and are tidying up after themselves

I think Putin will wait until Luka flees the country like Yano did.
Then he will send in Russian troops to 'prevent civil disaster' and install his own man.
-
Sheeesh...this even got to the streets of LA...despite the triple digit temperature were experiencing this week. The majority are Russians supporting Belarussians.

Photos and videos of protest in link below. Luka with a rifle and bulletproof vest says NATO is on the border. He's put the military on high alert to defend the fatherland. He's delusional. Very few people are wearing masks and no social distancing during the protest.

It is reported that a BY military helicopter ventured into Lithunanian territory and shot down red and white balloons?
A human chain formed from Vilnius to the BY border at the weekend.
I have no idea of the veracity of the balloon sabotage report...

SC just called me, from 'work'...( aka beach)
She is near a BY friend who heard BY had closed the borders..
I HAVE heard UA had, to foreigners re COVID-19...
Any one heard, anything different?
http://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/27/world/europe/belarus-russia-putin.html
Worth a read.
Putin warning protesters 'not to push too hard'...that he has organised a special police force to 'help out'....
Remember, Moscow telling the west to 'stay out of BY's affairs'....?
-
Worth a read.
Putin would send in his national guard to a foreign neighbor.... but they won't send in the national guard here in the USA to squelch riots, mayhem and looting.
-
You mean the President who is the std bearer for 'law and order?
I think our last two posts belong in another place;)
-
Some things can't be said over the phone. Luke going to Moscow for a private meeting with Putin. I suspect Luka will mortgage Belarus's future as down payment for Putin's support.

Belarus protests show no sign of fading as 100,000 turn out in Minsk
Huge protests have taken place across Belarus (http://www.theguardian.com/world/belarus) against the embattled regime of Alexander Lukashenko (http://www.theguardian.com/world/alexander-lukashenko), with demonstrators marching on the president’s residence in the capital, Minsk, for a fourth weekend in a row.
More than 100,000 people filled Minsk’s Independence Avenue calling for Lukashenko to step down. There were similar marches in other cities, including Brest, Vitebsk and Grodno.Riot police sealed off the centre of Minsk with barriers and armoured personnel carriers. Officers wearing balaclavas arrested and beat (http://twitter.com/franakviacorka/status/1302562676367929344) several male demonstrators and dragged them into vans. At least one person was taken away in an ambulance.
Authorities detained up to 100 people across the country, Russia’s Interfax news agency reported, citing the Belarus (http://www.theguardian.com/world/belarus) interior ministry.

Belarus protests: Putin ready to send Lukashenko military supportVladimir Putin has said the Kremlin is willing to provide military or other law enforcement assistance to the authoritarian leader of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko (http://www.theguardian.com/world/alexander-lukashenko), but added that the situation does not yet require it.
In remarks that will alarm EU leaders who have called on Lukashenko to negotiate (http://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/aug/19/belarus-crisis-eu-leaders-emergency-talks-lukashenko-protests) with the opposition movement rather than try to crush it, Putin said he would send backup to Lukashenko if the standoff in Belarus escalated.“[Lukashenko] asked me to form a certain reserve of law enforcement employees, and I have done so. But we also agreed that they would not be used unless the situation gets out of control,” Putin said in an interview for Russian state television.

LukaShouldGo on the 'unrest'..
Lukashenka met with the head of the Investigative Committee.
And the president has a number of questions for Noskevich:
"The political squabbles and turmoil that we have at the time of the elections and the post-election period have revealed a number of shortcomings, perhaps flaws in different systems of governance, government bodies. What do these events show from the point of view of the Investigative Committee? What lessons should we learn from this? "
You could not make such BS up..

Pure entertainment... Not unlike I would imagine any dictators last days....

This headline is typical of RU / BY 'news' run by delusional dictators

EU, UK sound alarm over ‘abduction' of Belarusian opposition figurehead Maria Kolesnikova, threaten sanctions
Note the 'inverted commas around abduction..
Take out the opposition, remove the oxygen ... not at all the common tactic ...

This lady 'reappeared' at the border at was about to be forcibly expelled by BY forces loyal to LukaShouldGo.. She tore up her passport ;)
Today, is the 34th day of peaceful protests against the regime.
Luckily, Azarenko lost at tennis, so no propaganda for he dictator ( she hasn't seen the light, yet )
Edited to add:
Footage has emerged of a BY border guard asking The Ukrainian Ambassador to BY to open his boot ( trunk) - very politely and the UA diplomat is saying, "We are starting a diplomatic war, is this what you want?" Ihor Kizim said during the illegal search.

Now we got unidentified green men cracking down on protestors in Belarus. I wonder if any of those guys got their experience in Ukraine?

So now, LukaShouldGo has locked up the previously 'disappeared' but 'we do not know where she is' Maria Kolesnikova.. having failed to persuade her to 'leave' ( she tore up her passport ) at the Ukrainian border
In the meantime LukaShouldGo has scurried off to Sochi in Russia to meet VVP ( LukaShouldGo has a pad a the Sochi resort )
It's clear he's in the do do and VVP knows that IF he sends in his boys, most BY folk will not be welcoming them as heroes
VVP has always sought to bring Minsk into the Federation, proper ...
Q: Will his 'ambition' actually end up biting him in the ..?

Belarus investigators have officially charged Maria Kolesnikova, a protest leader, with incitement to undermine national security, the Investigative Committee said in a statement on Wednesday.
Bearing in mind, the 'official' line was they didn't know her whereabouts when picked up and bundled into a van, before failing to chuck her out of Belarus....
When all else fails ...and they won't leave the country.. make 'em heroine's ..
'Well done' LukaShoudGo ..
