'God forbid we should end up like Ukraine': Belarusians indifferent to election

Zelensky should help them get started and bomb their capitol building. Ukraine owes them a punch in the nose.

Best thing all Belorussians could do is just boycott the elections completely.

It’s a no lose situation for the fat bell end, because even if he loses fair and square, Putin would fly to his rescue just as happened a few years ago to ensure that people voting the wrong way doesn’t make any material difference to the outcome.

So the best way Belarus could respond to the election is treat it as the fakery that it is.

Hilarity would indeed ensue.

Been saying all along, keep your eyes on Belarus. Putin wants it, but Lukashenko is doing just enough to keep the Russian Bear at bay.

I liken that relationship to more like the one between Hitler and Franco.

[dfwgator]

I am surprised that the Russians haven’t offed Lukashenko, as the pretext for them invading.

Luka may be a detestable human being, but he’s probably the only reason you don’t see Russian troops right up against the Polish-Belarusian border.

I looked high and low for any reason why their election matters to me and I’ll be dang, nothing.

Damn, Luka’s really been hitting the Babkas.

[marcusmaximus]

I liken that relationship to more like the one between Rose and Jack.

I think he ate Estonia.

[dfwgator]

Still a better love story than “Twilight”

I think he ate Estonia.

And half of Latvia.

Who’s that fat guy, marcus?

I know what Putin looks like and I know what Zelensky looks like...that’s it.

I don’t keep up on who’s who in the World of Slavs.
