    close the border to Russia and have another western democracy puppet.

    This sort of thinking is just so painful to observe.

    Yes the whole Russian economy that is the size of Netherlands is so important we all go through this absurd trouble just to spite them!

    You better say nothing against that narrative in Germany, or you will be labeled a supporter of an authoritarian regime, even in leftist circles.

    Because that is authoritarian regime. Do you somehow imply Belarus is not an authoritarian state?

      You really have to be blind or ignorant if you didnt notice the US military buildup on the Russian border over the last years, or the increasing aggression. Not to mention the US regime change in Ukraine.

      Because that is authoritarian regime. Do you somehow imply Belarus is not an authoritarian state?

      The US is also an authoritarian regime. Why should they be allowed to judge who rules in Belarus?

        Not to be intrusive or anything but where are you from? Your thought process is very unusual from my perspective — maybe there’s some geographical context that’s missing.
