What about Belarus?
What is to stop Russia from annexing Belarus, if Lukashenko is out of the picture?
“What is to stop Russia from annexing Belarus, if Lukashenko is out of the picture?”
I suspect most there would favor the annexation, so why should we interfere other than that the Neocons will be pissed as hell.
What about Belarus? Nations/Tribes get conquered all the time. Anything meaningful that Belarus has contributed to the world will stand the test of time. If, 100 years from now, no living human knows what Belarus was or what any Belarusian contributed to humanity, then that is what it is. Sorry, life is a bitch, then you marry one, then you die.
