Wow I can't believe the opposition would stoop so low as to seize the streets with these youthful gangs of unemployed thugs. There's just no reasoning with these anarchists.

Women getting released from the torture jail in Minsk atm. A line of ambulances is going in and out of the prison.

Some mire or less likely conjecture flowing around. Reportedly, there are around 30 bodies in morgues in Minsk. Riot police and military have been reported to be leaving the city. In less likeLy gossip, there are rumors of a military coup (thus the release of prisoners) and movement of military forces to the russian border,

Riot police and military leaving the city is not a news. They leave every night and than return next day closer to the everning.

I heard the coup thing, if thats the one about a plan to "exaust" the OMON, so that russians can move in unopposed it makes no sense because OMON is useless against any kind of military anyway. Release of prisoners, is probably 2 things:

1. The pre-trial holding facilities were physically incapable of holding any more people, you've seen tweets about 30 people in one cell.
2. Factory workers getting pissed together with well, everyone, because regardless of political views after this week long atrocity, everyone knows someone who got hurt or own family member got hurt. Especially in smaller town like Zhodino which is incidentally home to both Belaz factory and one of the torture prisons.

Mayor of Zhodino actually went to talk to the crowd and Zhodino top cop actually apologized but sadly dialogue didn't happen, he seems to genuenly don't understand what the problem is or blame everything on fireign provocators. It seems most of the beaurocracy haven't seen any footage or photos and don't want/dare not go to Nexta or any such channels.

It is interesting who of government functionaries resigned.
1. Cops who get to witness everything first hand, while respect to them but they are only 2 people
2. Journalists who get to also witness stuff or work with footage

There are also 2 presidential admin members, not sure, maybe someone close to them got beaten

Potassium miners from Soligorsk, who didn't even make squek during strikes (even the airport had a solidarity action) suddenly gathered up and made demands to their general manager. Belkaliy is government owned.



gently caress, I'm proud of all the workers demands from all the industries. There is next to no economic demands for them personally (except for people who went on protests and were arrested to be paid for absence during arrest) but there is:
Free elections
Dissolve OMON
Free all political prisoners

This one is interesting because they are being paid way higher than working class on average and have more to lose.

There is no flying EU flags, anti-russian slogans, caricatures of Putin, if anything Lukashenko was way more hostile to Russia than the protesters.

Unlike Ukrainians, Belarusians display no toxicity towards Russians. In fact, it’s remarkable how these protests managed to remain almost completely ideology-free. This will probably change in the coming weeks as protest leaders emerge.

It basically how it united left with right and even don't give a gently caress center under one goal - get rid of Lukashenko and hold an election again.

Why do people think that Russian army would easily defeat Belarus.If anything empirical evidence from past show, that it is not case. Belarus army is maybe not most elite force on world
but surely is reasonably competent.

Last time Russia attacked Ukraine, it was defended by demoralized armed forces which were two and half decade in free fall. Yes, they managed takeover Crimea, and parts Donetsk / Luhanks.
But once Ukraine and its army get his poo poo together it was clear that Putin "we can take Kiev in two weeks" was bullshit.

I mean surely. If Russia start regular war - mobilize reserves, conscript people and so on it will defeat Belarusian army. But even then it has to prepare to be occupation force, and more
likely that not it will break Russia economy (what is left of it).

Topograhically, Belarus is a far better position to start a conflict than russians current borders. If russia were to continue to cause insurrection in Ukraine the dniper would become the new border, However with Belarus under absolute control the dniper is a non-issue for any future conflicts. Remember we're not talking about a conflict today, or tomorrow, or this year. The pieces are being placed for the next grand war of mobility. When will that happen? Unknown.

Russia knows for a loving fact they will not go toe to toe with any modern countries, so everything has to be networks of spies and intelligence gathering on a massive scale. We've seen that with the assassinations on British soil and american soil happening unabated for the most part. Russia is very good at winning battles without firing shots, Belarus is in a state of dismay right now, with parts of the security forces either quitting or joining the protests. poo poo is loving on fire, and with enough hand waving and enough bot spamming Belarus will be seen as a terrorist country that needs to be reigned in by the international community, oh and russia will administer the reigning since trump loves russia.
