Yup, Russia needs too massage Luka out already and get someone fresh in

Economically it already is, only problems were Luka's shenanigans

This is a brilliant idea!

They should also all get a mark on thier ID books so that certain privileges or being a Russian citizen are permanently revoked. We can't have potential terrorists using the public transport now can we.

What privileges does one have with "russian citizenship"?

The passport is pretty much worthless, since it has almost no visa free travel anywhere.

What are you even talking about?
117 countries, pretty much all of south america and Asia.
In combination with a western passport you basically get the whole world visa free. It's fucking awesome. And a bunch of countries are easier to get into than with a western passport.
I'm a big history fan and both Turkey and Iran are much easier to get access to with my Russian passport than my Canadian one.

The situation is still volatile, what do you guys see happening?

More of the same. The moron dictator of Belorus has dug it into a hole and the hordes of idiots being
manipulated from inside the country by NATzO agents and "volunteers" is not going away.

The Kremlin Gently Nudging Lukashenka Toward Constitutional Reform

Instead of useless nudging there should be Draconian coercion. The Belorus Great Decider is back to blackmailing Russia all over again:



This turd needs to go ASAP.

I love how he opened the new subway line in Minsk and there's not a single word in Russian anywhere on any sign.
He's barely any better than the Ukrainians, goddamnit when is the Kremlin finally going to properly drop a brick on this guy

About the protests (and their reduction) in Russia often say that they are deployed on the "Belarusian scenario". The parallels are not so obvious: it was much more cruel in Minsk, but one commonality is evident - now there is a lull in anticipation of spring. As we remember, in Belarus the first round remained with the president, thanks to the loyalty of the security officials. But how loyal are they really? BYPOL, an organization created by former Belarusian security officials who fled the country, says that there are many doubts in the ranks of their colleagues, and that is why they are leaking into BYPOL the data of those security officials who have appeared in the lawlessness. Konstantin Goldenzweig went to Poland to find out if this is really shaking the regime from the inside, and to find out who is helping and who is funding the fugitives themselves. How former Belarusian security forces fight Lukashenka

Western intelligence needs a new play book... they also need to read the boy who cried wolf...

If Belarus had a bigger lake or a seacoast, he would have dachas & palaces there too. 2 boots make a pair- both r former KGB officers.
Now his circle will have some cracks to patch up, & soon.
