  1. That's the point; you're not free to choose your own fate under the Lukashenko dictatorship; that soul-crushing dictatorship is as far from freedom as it's possible to be in this world. But of course you already know that, toady, having already sold your soul to these devils, these torturers... luckily, when the dictator Lukashenko falls, the people WILL find you, and accounts will be settled and all debts paid in full. Imagine the shame that will be felt by your entire family for generations when your crimes against your countrymen finally come to light.

  2. Grifter? Look in a mirror to see the grifter, for you're a functionary, a mere cog in the loathsome machine that is the regime of the dictator Lukashenko.

  3.  @kshen7485  Of course that's a lie, like the election returns numbers were lies as well. They make up numbers and answer to no one... except maybe Putin. In Belarus (as in Myanmar) the 26 year dictator seems to have the absolute loyalty of the army and police who in turn have no problem, evidently, in utterly jailing, torturing, in short crushing the common people and even (in Myanmar) shooting them down in the streets wholesale like dogs... and I'm sure you're one of them, K., even if you're only some guy at a desk writing propaganda lies for YouTube. And as far as "safer society" is concerned, The Moscow Times said this: "Two of Russia's post-Soviet neighbors, Belarus and Turkmenistan, have drawn criticism over their response to the coronavirus, with the two countries' leaders largely denying the severity of the pandemic. Here’s a brief look at how these two countries in Russia’s backyard have been faring since the start of the outbreak: Belarus (17,489 cases, 103 deaths): — President Alexander Lukashenko, 65, has continued to hold public events and resisted enacting a lockdown to slow the spread of coronavirus, dismissing fears of the pandemic as a global “psychosis.” Lukashenko has not been tested for coronavirus himself because, according to his spokesperson, “there’s no need for that.” — He has vehemently opposed closing parts of the economy to slow coronavirus, citing a potentially painful recovery for the nation of more than 9 million. Still, the country’s schools and businesses have started to voluntarily close without waiting for Lukashenko’s orders. — Lukashenko has maintained that none of Belarus’ Covid-19 deaths had been from the disease itself but from other accompanying ailments, including cancer and obesity. In mid-April, the leader who has touted vodka, the sauna and tractors as anti-Covid therapies asserted that “no one will die of coronavirus in our country. I publicly declare this.” — Lukashenko vowed to hold a military parade in Minsk marking 75 years since the Soviet victory in World War II, and on Tuesday invited fellow heads of post-Soviet states to attend it. Russia postponed its May 9 parade on Red Square to later in 2020 due to the outbreak. — During Orthodox Easter in April, Lukashenko defiantly attended church service and criticized other countries for trying to enforce stay-home measures. The leaders of other countries with large Orthodox Christian populations did not attend Easter services, with many churches moving them online."
