He is from the opposition. He posted this an hour ago. https://twitter.com/pavellatushka/status/1504182313130807297?s=21
Could it be an uprising resulting in attacks on Russian positions within Belarus? There has been hints that the armed forces didn’t like the prospect of attacking Ukraine. Russia also seems stretched and weak, posing a good opportunity.
Definitely looking like a possible coup ,the whole deck of cards is starting to tumble
I don't doubt it but they LL be relegating themselves for an indefinite hellish future, constantly kept down and controlled by the Russians for Russians interests.
To be fair, it took the almost complete destruction of most major German cities, the dismemberment of much of Germany (Silesia, Pomerania, East Prussia), the complete military occupation of the entire remaining country and the consequent splitting up of said "rump state" into East & West Germany for forty years for this to happen. Oh, and a massive and painful internal soul-searching, especially from the 1960s onwards.
I fail to see how this could work in Russia, given the sheer size of that country and the level of indoctrination visible in the population. Not to mention that Germany had a very active civil society even during the Kaiserreich and the Weimar period, which informed post-WW2 politics, something that I don't see in Russia.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but missiles were already fired from Belarus in the opening days of war? so it wouldn't be unusual if it was happening again.
A coup would be just the ticket though.
If Belarus kicks out the Russians....could be the beginning of the end. Other regions would make a play!
So you're saying there is a chance 😁. These are actually very good points. I also think that having been a democracy, it's easier to revert to one. Russia was never a democracy and has always known dictators and strong man leaders. It would need a complete mentality change and cultural revolution. I'm sure it will happen one day, maybe not for a few decades yet. A strange country really. What is their identity? it's not wholly eastern, it's not western. It's this floating thing that straddles both and they can't quite bring themselves to take that next step.
Two current world champions also returned and signed up at the start - Usyk and Lomachenko.
Minsk coup d'état in the offing
Imagine trying to take Ukraine, and ending up losing Belarus LOL
Well, Lukashenko denied emphatically yesterday that his military would enter the war on Russia's side, so it's rather unclear.
Methinks the Lady Putin doth protest too much!
I have no idea what's going on and this isn't even an educated guess . . .
Could the Belarus Air Force be defecting to Ukraine en masse ???
I really, really hope so
Belarus new name Belauk
He is a lying weasel though... thats what he would say if he was going to send in forces.
Please say this is true. It would go some way to brightening a pretty miserable week thus far.
Yup and the nazi period in Germany was an outlier, a hideous blip that lasted little more than a decade and throughout a goodly chunk of the people and the armed forces were not members of the party. Many went along for the ride as it were, because Hitler was seemingly getting results economically, militarily and technologically. The other aspect that's often forgotten is even with the indoctrination when the end and surrender came, it all pretty much stopped, near overnight. The Allies for good reason had expected a nazi resistance to keep fighting on, but it never came.
Belarus govt twitter is claiming its carrying out exercises.
Live fire exercises.
At midnight.
Press X to doubt.
It's my bed time, but I really want to stay up for the coup!!!
Ok so, that explains it...
Vladimir Putin 16/03/2022: "Russian people will always be able to distinguish true patriots from traitors and just spit them out like a fly that accidentally flew into their mouth. Such a natural and necessary self-purification of the society will only strengthen our country."
Where have we heard that before?
Oh Yeah....
Eh, no, Peggy.
Nothing to worry about Vlad, we thought we saw some Nazis in the clouds while we were conducting a special airborne shafting operation
My ITK sources (twitter) don't seem to think a coup is in the offing, so I'm off to bed.
What they think is happening?
Lukashenko has been looking weak and indecisive of late.
Footage from last week in his meeting with Poohtin displayed a man under serious pressure and over perspiring!
If you are the opposition in Belarus with some military support, then now is the time to strike when the current 'leader' looks decidedly preoccupied.
Another key factor, Russia is overstretched with Ukraine and may not have any resources left to bailout Lukashenko... would love to see it happen !
Was going to go to sleep, but fcuk it, I want to see what is actually happening in Belarus.
Revolution time?
Sonic booms n nothing?
I NEED ANSWERS.
Sometimes reality sort of "delay mirrors" my random thoughts but I can't make the ju ju work every time
