First digital civil war?

• belter 5y ago
  Its only a civil war if there is a large society division. How many really support the dictator ?

    This is pure conjecture, but I'd bet at least that the Russian ethnic group in Belarus (7.5%) would be more likely to do so than ethnic Belarussians. Not to mention all the people well served by the dictatorship. Dictators can't stay long in power without plenty of allies. The Al-Bu Nasir tribe was just around 35000 people, yet practically ran Iraq for decades.

      Ethnic question is not really a thing in Belarus. There is no obsession with race/nationality like it is in a lot of places. Opposition loves to shout 3%, but really it looks like there is around 15% of real support. Mostly aging population, military and state workers.
