I love Luka.

I spent some time in Belarus a year ago and it's a nice place. A breath of fresh air from the multicultural slog that pollutes the senses here in the west. It's clean and pretty organized. I talked to quite a few people there and the fact of the matter is most of them don't like Luka and want him gone. The going phrase is "Imagine Bill Clinton being your president for 20 years". They want something new and I suppose that's understandable. But what they don't know is what'll be in store for them if Luka leaves. Western values will pour in and it will turn their beautiful country into a garbage dump. I originally visited because of Luka's stance on the covid lie. He didn't shut down his country so it became the new hotspot for liberty-loving expats from all over the world. Great place highly recommend. 😁

I think it`s about time we took " The West " seriously when it keeps on stating day after day week after week that it has zero intentions of giving up the war against Russia . Defeating Ukraine is only the hors deuves in this conflict and that is far from being achieved by Russia at this moment . All major wars in history have started slowly and escalated through time and territory lost or gained and this is no different . I discount a nuclear war taking place but make no mistake this is WORLD WAR THREEE and there is no good outcome for us peasants on all sides and no there is nothing we can do about it.

Oh wow, man. Uncle Sam is going to give Zelenski patriot missiles. Putin must be trembling.

Fucking not.

Let us look at the Patriot missile. Decades ago, its guidance system did not work. So a decade or so ago, the guidance system was redesigned. It still did not work. The US had to lie about its strikes, which in fact were zero. More recently a new guidance system was designed. It was tested for release on the wing of a B52. It would not release. Test again. It released, but would not fire.

It is junk. The Russian Tzircon is twice as fast, flies much higher (50Ks), is manoeuverable to target, is driven by scramjet (which the Pentagon does not have), and is about 1000% more accurate.

So if I was Zelenski, I would be lighting the wick and sending it back to the Pentagon.

"Ultimately, it depends almost entirely on Luka, who actually is the closest thing to an actual Authoritarian leader with actual control over his own government." - very insightful comment. Despite of how Putin is being portrayed by the West, as authoritarian or even as totalitarian leader, he exercises little real power. Pay attention to important nuance here, he actually has real power but he doesn't exercise much his right to use it. Obviously, by the given presidential rights he can initiate actions such as SMO, but when it comes to actually running a country, most (all?) of his edicts are ignored by the government. There are many examples of this type of behavior, one of the more known ones is the case with "Putin's May Edicts" (Майские указы Путина). Two times in a row he was trying to get the government to work by setting the goals and targets, in May of 2012 and May of 2018, both times right after election, and both times these edicts were completely ignored by ministers, governors and bureaucrats under them. Well, he may have been getting reports how everyone is working hard, but in reality if any work was done, it was work against set targets. The most amazing thing though is that Putin didn't fire people for failing to accomplish set plans. Luka IS a real president, albeit authoritarian, Putin just plays a president. On the standard of living - Belarus is clean, well organized, but a poorer and much less sophisticated place compared to Russia, especially big cities there. One thing Russians learned well in the last 30 years is how to live a good life. This is why the war and mobilization is met with certain resistance in Russian society - hard to trade dark roast coffee with crusty delicious croissant in the morning for a wet trench and a chance to die under Ukrainian artillery fire.

So the hohols need to keep begging for weapons to waste, and the polacks are going to continue their international retard streak. My grandpa was 1/2 Polish and never missed a chance to tell a polack joke. I see his point now lol

Interesting piece. Things may get very interesting if Serbia/Bosnia and Turkey/Greece get hotter too. More and more, events are starting to resemble the lead up to WW1. Even the combat in Ukraine is trench warfare with massive artillery strikes.

I guess Z can't get more S-300 components. The Patriots have a horrible track record whereas the S-300 has demonstrated to be capable. More items for the black market I guess.

What's knife or Kirpan rule in Belarus?

Would like to visit many of these places, but they will prosecute Turbaned man with blade.

Advice & suggestions welcome.

Fabulous post, Rolo. Your pic of Lukashenko with that caption inspired this letter, which opens with that photo, to an imaginary friend named Cliff who is a macho man.

Don't take this backwoods backward attitude to heart, Cliff. Seek help. Gender dysphoria whimsy is a treatable condition. There are also surgical solutions, which are irreversible and thus permanent. You needn't continue to pretend to be Alexander Lukashenko, Cliff. Or any other dictator. "Dicked, Ate her." That is the evil motto of men who perversely continue to remain heterosexual, Cliff. You, on the other hand, are a sensitive caring artist who lives in an advanced democracy. You can grow large attractive pendulous breasts too. Covered by most medical insurance policies.
