Images From Belarus

It is said that an image speaks a thousand words. These two images speak thousands of words, none of them good for Luka.

Luka’s supporters. State run TV claims the number is 50,000
Opposition supporters. The one’s Luka claims are “rats from the sewer”

Pretty impressive turnout by the rats, not even Luka can claim victory in these images. Plus the opposition are from Minsk. Luka’s supporters were bussed in from all over Belarus, with a choice of go, or lose your job and house.

  1. Go figure. While everyone hoped (and still does) for a Red Square Maidan, we are instead witnessing an Independence Square Maidan. All the power and luck to those brave people.

      • I don’t think so. But i think the happenings in Belarus will also kill Zelensky this fall. The voters won’t forget Zelensky did not

        a) refuse to recognize the election outcome

        b) openly support Svetlana and her voters, most of the people

        c) call home the ambassador in Belarus

        d) tell Luka to resign

        Because this is what one would expect from a post-Maidan government!

  2. This, like all dictatorships, is likely to end the same way. A midnight flight to some country willing to house the dictator. Followed by turmoil as the west and east fight it out to get “their guy” into the nation’s new leadership role. Stand strong Belarus.
