Posted in: Belarus says it has 1.5 million potential soldiers outside armed forces See in context
Many from Belarus have gone to defend Ukraine, without the puppet leader, Belarus would be sanctioning Russia like everyone else in Europe.
Barely squad.
Westerners (at least here) show a brazen disregard for Belarus's people opinions (as well as Lukasenko) and this thread is a stark example of it.

Somebody tell the Russians we will lift the sanctions in about 20 years.
Russians must do something useful with their country in order to make sanctions presence irrelevant for their development. By the way, it would be good stance for any country.

Really hope antivaxxers can come to their senses and get the jab.
Probably not. They have no sympathy to those who suffer most - older and those who have serious illness. They just don't care or had easy form of COVID or don't trust any vaccine or simply egoistic morons. And no politics.
@ulysses
My sympathies for the Russians who are suffering under the despotic putin!!!
FYI, most vocal critics of Putin got a jab.

There's stark differences between U.S. and Russia in the visions of what is right and what the future of the world should be.
The U.S. establishment wants Russia to fall back to the misery and dependence of 90s, Russia (in general) hopes USA will have the plenty of internal issues not allowing to keep pressure on Russian economy.
Talk is better than war but I see no common grounds to compromise.

One of. There are so many great artists who became known due to anime tracks: 志方あきこ, つじあやの, 新居昭乃, 松浦櫻子, 梶浦由記 and much much more. But I think that japanese female vocal deserves to be known to a far wider public.

Let's face Russia and West are enemies always was. I see no signs it could be changed in future.
There are only two states - the first when Russia is weak enough and West is happy and the second, Russia is strong enough to keep sovereignty and fight for own interests when west countries establishment do what it usually do against the centuries old enemy: wars, proxy wars, foreign agents and, of course, lie the more lies the better.

Too late to worry. You're already live in the dystopia. Probably, one wouldn't jail for thoughts but it's more than enough to publicly say something not "politically correct" or against modern liberal agenda to meet unwelcome consequences.
For an example, some prof in an university would call oneself or be called a communist :). Do you know what will happen next.
