Belarus state TV reported that an American who faces criminal charges from the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol is seeking asylum in Belarus, a move that could heighten tensions between the turbulent former Soviet nation and the United States

The Belarus 1 anchors described Neumann as a “simple American, whose stores were burned down by members of the Black Lives Matter movement, who was seeking justice, asking inconvenient questions, but lost almost everything and is being persecuted by the U.S. government.”

i don’t blame anyone escaping from our shameful gulag from going underground. God’s speed to him.
I keep waiting for the news of a pilot defecting in his F-35.
Won’t be long till we act like the Soviet Air Force and refuse to fuel planes enough that they could get away.
He coulda done better than Belarus, but did you ever think you’d see the day?
“He coulda done better than Belarus, but did you ever think you’d see the day?”
Russia itself would have been better and Vlad could (and should) have given him a press conference. Ziden’s so vile a communist that even Vlad can’t stand him.
Good for him!
Conservatves have been persecuted by the fbi the irs and other stasi organizations.
More personal freedom than the US, less garbage, and the country is self-sufficient food-wise.
He is not the first... remember Snowden's asylum in Russia?

Or an F-22, B-1, B-2 - even an upgraded B-52 H. The F-35 has too many unresolved bugs to be much use to the Russians.

He’s only there because his Chinese handlers kicked him out of China when they were done with him. The Russian didn’t really want him for more than his thumb drive and propaganda value.
Exactly !
There! Fixed it!!!
Putin opposed the 1991 commie coup designed to restore the Soviet Union!!! Where are OUR counter-coup fighters?
Maybe not to live in. But Belarus is weaponizing Muslim migrants, trying to import them into Poland.
Belarus is trying to EXPORT its Muslims to Poland. Poland doesn’t want them, hence the dispute.
Thanks for the needed repairs.
LOL.

*cough* bullshit *cough*
You better go back and read the original reporting. His gal pal was a spy/bait etc. You don’t imagine Eddy Snowjob fled to China for his health do you? Russia is a lot closer to the US East Coast then China
I followed that story in real time...so no, I don't need to do that.
You need to stop making stuff up though...
Could have chose a better destination. Belarus is a real craphole.
He obviously heard about how the prisoners of Jan. 6 are being tortured in prison and made to sign statements of how stupid they were in order to get a milder sentence.
If he committed a crime, he should be dealt with, but not this way. One can hardly blame him for fleeing.
"We are watching with astonishment the processes taking place in the countries that used to consider themselves flagships of progress. Of course, the sociocultural disturbances that are taking place in the States, in Western Europe are none of our business… Some people in Western countries believe that the aggressive deletion of whole pages of their own history, reverse discrimination against the majority in the interests of minorities, or a demand to give up basic things such as mother, father, family or gender differences constitute movement towards public renewal. It's their right, but we are asking them to steer clear of our home. We have a different viewpoint.” —Vladimir Putin, 2021
