Yeah they should just give up and accept a rigged election and five more years of repression. Lukashenko isn’t on very good terms with Putin at the moment. Other European countries should stop sending out statements and help oust him

They won't do anything, if you honestly think Poland or Lithuania will send troops or something, you're living in a delusional fantasy.

But realistically speaking, they won't; especially looking at Poland as of late...

Ya but that doesn’t mean that Russia wouldn’t still send troops in to “restore order”. Hell part of that restoration of order would be removing Lukashenko and replacing him with a more compliant puppet

First, Belarus has a decent amount of armed forces that are loyal to the president, and that won't need to shoot at crowds with actual bullets. Belarus has over 100,000 Partisan Forces, which can give the Russians or Americans a run for their money, so you can sort of imagine what they'll do to unarmed protesters, although I'm sure that a molotov wielding foreigner will totally tip the tide.

Second, the "monster" Lukashenko kept the Belarussian economy in relatively good shape:

Here's Ukraine for comparison:

One of the things that Lumen doesn't realize, is that by Eastern European standards, Lukashenko ain't that bad. Also it's a tad hard to take an online poll giving Lukashenko 3% approval rating seriously.

As some people have said elsewhere, this is the future of America. Not in the way they mean, though. Rather, a bunch of liberals living inside an echo chamber (lol, YouTube?) and convincing themselves that they have popular support, only to lose an election in a landslide and then start rioting is what is happening here (and is what will happen elsewhere).

Lukashenko is BASED.

Just because ballots were stuffed doesn't mean he lost. Most dictatorships stuff ballots, but most of them would probably still win elections without it.

I mean, if you have to stuff the ballot boxes to "win" then chances are you likely won't be able to win without it.

They lost the election and their only argument for popular support is that polls outside foreign embassies (the sort of voting location where you wouldn't find Lukashenko supporters, see 'a bunch of liberals') said their candidate got something like 80% and Lukashenko 5%. That is my evidence.

And videos have surfaced that claim to show actual results and the opposition candidate won in a overwhelming landslide

You honestly believe that overseas vote would show that much of a disparity?
