I was not meant to be demeaning, I have been following the situation very closely and know about each of the events you listed. I want them to succeed!
I do think that it's a success they can even demonstrate, the regime is so brutal.
However when I look at further ahead, it feels bleak to me. 1990s criminals and their entourage have became the heads of state, how can you unseat them with leaderless opposition?
- sam_lowry_ 6y agoKeeping up with protests is tiring. Lukashenka is 66, his main killer Pavlichenko is 50. Sheiman, another guy with blood on his hands, is even older. Their kids are grown ups but they have been kept away from state affairs. I think they will wear out.
- Ciantic 6y agoYes the few will wear out, I even believe the regime will replace Lukashenko. But my point is that these regimes are wider than they seem. As one man put it in twitter about Russia: KGB and 90s Mafia merged, and it became the state of Russia. I think there is similar situation in Belarus, the criminals are in charge at all levels of state and each city. Sweeping it away without organized opposition requires a miracle.
