Lukashenko referred to himself as _"Europe's last dictator"._ So full of himself, its like a title, a good brand for him.
I guess Europe doesn't know Putin exists.
As if Putin is not a dictator
I mean atleast hes keeping it real. He isnt wrong😂
@@MA_KA_PA_TIE Putin isn’t a dictator, the far left media just labeled him one cause they don’t like him, same as Trump. I heard a lot of his policies and he sounds like a cool guy.
"Better to be a dictator than gay" - Lukashenko 2012
A very important detail that wasn't mentioned is the Dublin convention, which basically states that deported refugees are to be returned to the first EU country they entered. The reason why Germany has such an open border policy is because they can choose who they accept and then send the rest back to whichever Eu country they first entered from. So the argument that they're simply trying to cross Poland becomes irrelevant. Sure, the migrants are simply trying to get to Germany but Poland knows that Germany is going to pick the "best ones" and then send the rest to Poland, who at that point will be Poland's problem to deal with.
It is crucial to state, that these people aren't refugees. They are migrants.
That’s not entirely true though, as Germany has pretty much accepted everyone reaching its territory ever since the refugee crisis in 2015. Sure, theoretically they could send people back to their first country of arrival but they hardly have done so ever since
Best ones according to what criteria?
What does "best one" means?

Thank you for bringing this up. As a Belarusian myself, we are tired and frustrated of everything that's happening here. Basically the country is at war with its abusive government. Hundreds of political prisoners, police brutality, violence and abuse of basic human rights. People there need to be seen and heard and deserve to be free. But the world is silent.

I had NO idea! Thankyou for getting this info out there!
I went to the Ting web page by using the link in the description. After reading the terms I decided that the company wasn't one that I was willing to deal with. The description of the offer you give in the video is missing a lot of information. The conditions in their plans, makes their plans not as great as they seemed to be. In fact, I felt that they were a bit shady with their plans. I'm not going to purchase a phone in order to have them as my cell phone service provider. Also the discount is only for the unlimited plans and will be given over a 5 month period. I don't care for the provider that I currently have but I'm not going to jump into a plan that is worse than what I have now.
How bad are the terms?
A little advice: every youtube add is shit. The company who need to do that are in most cases crap companies trying to sell bad products
I honestly think RLL is smart enough to not spend almost $200 a month on his phone bill. So I believe that to be made up.

Polands anti-immigrant stance is actually somewhat right about this. Belarus caused this on their own, if Poland or EU as a whole breaks and just decides “okay fine, we’ll allow them”, that will get the dictator what he wants.
You may be right about that. But the Polish government/the PiS party is still completely dishonest.

Lukashenko's grip on Belarus will keep on going as long as he has Russia as its closest ally. It's known for a while that Russia and the EU aren't best of friends ever since the crisis in Ukraine, the annexation of Crimea by Russia and the ongoing conflict in Donetsk and Luhansk. Russian president Vladimir Putin has barred planes bypassing Belarussian airspace and he has even said (which was during the case of the Malaysian Airlines Flight 17, which was revealed to be shot down over Donetsk airspace) that he can close the entire Russian airspace for any nation that closes its airspace for Russian planes and airlines, but the reason why he hadn't done it is that it'll hurt Russia itself as well (it has to do with the transit tarrifs Russia receives for crossing its airspace). Back to Belarus - Putin essentially guarantees Lukashenko's grip, but once even he cuts ties with him, it'll be game over
Lukashenko at the beginning(before the elections) actually try to play Russian and the west. He keep saying Russian may meddle in elections(to get him out), arrest pro russian presidential candidate and oppositions(tho he arrested everyone who try to oppose him in the elections at that points) and even arrest Wagner who transit through Belarus(almost extraditing them to Ukraine). Try negotiate with Russia over its role in exporting goods sanctioned in Russia to Russia etc. Luka even try to lean to the west with its behaviour at that time to gain leverage over Russia. Many people forget his pre-elections moves against Russia and his way of trying to play Russia. Before the elections there were plenty of opinions that Belarus may drift away from Russia and slowing embrace into the west under Luka given Luka political movement at that time.
But his arrest of candidates/oppositions, brutal supression of protest and his blatant manipulation of elections, arrest make the west stay away from him(The west didn't really like him to begin with). When the protest start, the west(especially eastern European states) express support of the oppositions, which made Luka hate the West further. After he arrested the major opposition figure svetlana and force exile her, thing got worse for him. Luka therefore wants to do anything to hurt the west to get his petty revenage after he brutally suppress the protest movement. At that points, it also means that Luka can no longer use the west as a leverage to gain leverage over Russia anymore as the west/US want him gone and not a person they want to deal with anymore.
As for Russia, they know Luka, unlike back in before elections, has lost all his cards in playing against Russia. Hence, they use this crisis as a way to increase control over Belarus(and Luka). Luka is worth keeping as he still has the power over there and it is someone they know well enough to play with. Also Luka also stills have enough loyal figure on his side. Luka now need to be very close to Russia to get his position secured and his Economics in a good shape. Russia use it as a way to increase its grips over Belarus, which chances are hard to get before Luka fucked up so much in his ways of handling elections, oppositions,protests and lost all his cards that can play against Russia to gain leverage.
Don't call Ukraine "the Ukraine".
Russian/The Soviet Union Airspace was a no go area for airlines for years, and now is extremely expensive ... most airlines really don't care and will happily avoid both Russian and Belorussian airspace
@@GabrielKitignaTessouat :: WHY?
They made Belarus to be a buffer state. This is literally what it was created 4.
Hello, Belarusian migrant in Poland here, in general this video is correct from my POV, minor notes that i noticed and are thought to mention in regards to this video:
1) 5000 deaths from covid is probably not correct, but any semblance of statistics except official is banned, and we have no idea what the actual number is
2) There were other leaders in belarusian protest, none of their fates are particularly bright for now, we hope that changes soon
3) August crackdown was not even just against the protestors, it was against, well... anyone unlucky enough to be in the wrong place and time, often this place and time being literally outside your workplace or home. Brutal torture and beatdowns by police, etc.
4) The situation in Belarus is worse then ever, with hungreds of thousands (no reliable statistic, estimates) belarusian immigrants leaving the country. A lot of them are migrating or fleeing to Poland as well. There is some controversy to that - today its much easier to get additional protection and legal status in Poland for belarusian then for anyone else. Even then, there is much nuiance to that situation, so its hard to compare a belarusian migrant to other migrants in Poland, but it is still controversy fuel.
Thank you for a quite good explanation of the belarusian proxy migrant attack.

I hope you're doing and feeling good over there. My friend told me that she had 2 Belarusian girls on her university. Unfortunately they told her that Poland is the worst and are anti-Belarusian which made me suprised a lot. I suppose it's due to propaganda. When it comes to "refugees" we'd rather welcome someone culturally close in our country - and actually in danger - than some suspicious people.
@@Rezlusiowa thank you for your kind words. I didn't get to talk with a lot of poles, in a bit of an overload right now and just survival mode psychologically, so can't confirm and deny from my POV. I know that some poles are all about "Poland for Poles" and stuff like that, and there probably are some tensions in a lot of fields, including unis where people can judge that's it's unfair that a proportionally large amounts of positions is taken by Ukrainian/Belarusian/other immigrants. In general my interactions were neutral or supportive, but people are different and being an immigrant is never easy. Also not like a lot of us are in a position to be picky, and legal questions-wise, Poland is probably the easiest for a Belarusian to migrate, maybe tied by Lithuania, questionably so will probably have to deal with whatever attitude anyways
I don't know if you know but there are more than a million people leaving Germany each year and after all the shit happening in the last two years two of my best friends with families and one other family I know have left for good. You are also not welcome here if you don't follow everything the government says is right, there is no democratic discussion possible anymore. There are even jews living here comparing the situation to some awful times 80 years ago.
So yeah, probably it runs a little under the radar but even the UN chimed in to find out about police brutality during legal demonstrations in Germany. Guess you did not know that. I would love to know a place that is not going to shit.
thank you for educating us on this, very informative
I don't think atacking is the right word to use, its more akin to lukachenko going goblin mode and doing some weird scheme to the west that ends up backfiring, the man is pretty much a cartoon villain
Very good video and sums everything up relatively quickly. Only a couple of things I noticed that were slightly off was
1. The olympic runner refused to run in an event she hadn't prepared for and was sent home early from the Olympics. At the airport she straight up ran away from her handlers taking her back to Belarus for punishment and begged the Tokyo police to help her and protect her. Luckily, they did. Her freedom was already in danger, and for running away from her handlers.. now her life was in danger.
2. Germany has straight up said, "no more migrants" and now the refugees were sent back home. They paid anywhere from $2.500 to $15,000 to get to Belarus (yes, the money went directly to Lukashenko) and as soon as they got off the plane they were forced to the Polish border. Once Germany said, "no refugees will be accepted" the migrants were now forced home.
3. No one has complained about the drugs flooding Europe lol
But the amazing thing is that the migrant crisis is all because he's angry he got in trouble for staging the RyanAir hijacking. He doubled down on a problem he caused.
The Belarusian people are beautiful, and amazing. Belarus deserves true independence for once in its history
Note on the 2. point: migrant and refugee are different things. Declining to accept refugees would be a bad thing (although it does happen) but declining a migrant is totally up to the sovereign country to decide on.
It would ease the discussions if proper statuses were used. Media mixes these two constantly and therefore makes an assumption that migrant would have some UN guaranteed "refugee status" which they don't.
@Alaric Balthi And on point 3: wasn't that just a threat from Lukashenko? Or was there an increase in drug traffic beyond what's already known?
@@ajs787 There's a demand for drugs in Europe that is and has been always met, mainly cocaine, weed, MDMA and recently ketamine, usual party drugs for a well-off population. If Łukaszenko somehow launched a "smack into every house" program in Europe to Europeans they'll just sell it to the US. He doesn't understand that drugs are a commodity and using it as a "weapon" like he does migrants will probably just stimulate the economies of Europe, or if he gets something that Europeans fancy (which is way too expensive for the regime btw) the worst he'll achieve is putting a few minor local manufacturers out of business. Either way not much to worry about.
@@jonesaffrou6014 I'm grateful that cocaine and heroin can't be grown in Belarus
@@christianweibrecht6555 The main issue with those is that they're smuggled in through Galicia in Spain, AFAIK. But Belarus is landlocked, so...

Since the EU didn't like that so much they brought back their jets to the EU. If the EU didn't ask their plans back there would be a lot more refugees near the border.

Sorry if I'm mistaken but I understood from this video that Poland is unwelcoming to other nations and we are closed for imigrantns when it's not true. The imigrant crisis from 2015 that the autor mentioned was a lot harder to understand, lets just say that UE parliament sayed that they were mostly women and children refugees and in reality it was 70-80% young men looking for oportunity for easier lives. And even if Poland accepted them then they would just travel to germany or somewhere where thay would get more social money as unemployed. It was around 1,2m people and west europe didn't handle it too well bc they had different culture and didn't want to assimilate. But when real crisis appears Polish people are always open to help bc we know from our history what it's like to be in that sitation... For example I had 3 Chechnya refugees in my high school class (after Russia invaded them) and between 2014-2021 we welcomed more than 1m people from Ukraine without problems like they had in west europe with middle east imigrants (refugee camps, terrorist atacks etc).
And I'm not even gonna talk about last month since Russia invaded Ukraine because i guess that everyone should know that we are doing what we can to help Ukraine.

It's funny that Belarus in the past 3 months has become more notable for *not* attacking its neighbouring country. Not because of Lukashenko, but because of it's heroic railway workers, and probably a few generals saying 'No'.
The fact that I haven’t heard anything about this in the last months worries me
It’s incredibly sad that Lukashenko has used these peoples lives as a means of attacking Europe politically. But as long as he’s the closest ally of Russia literally nothing will change.
@@bjf9304 Not exactly, they’re a bit lax in stopping them trying to cross the channel but they didn’t exactly offer them Visas like Belarus did.
The EU should make an elaborate plan to kill Lukashenko and then put someone else in power.
Step 1: Invite Lukashenko to a meeting relating to current issues
Step 2: Create the most toxic beverage known to mankind
Step 3: Have him die by drinking the beverage
Step 4: Surprise-invade Belarus’s capital and put a new, fair leader in power
@@PikKraken8 wow. What a good person you are. If you think that killing a dictator is any better then being one, then you’re completely wrong.
Ya he is not a good person, nor is Putin. He loves being in Putins limelight and getting everything from Putin as long as he's Putins muppet in all wars. Right Now he offered Putin belarus as a attacking ground against Ukraine. Even tho its hard towards the civilian in belarus, but I think this country also needs to be punished in some way, especially those who hit the rich, selfish people like Lukashenko and other Oligarchs who offer Putin their country as attacking ground against the Ukraine.

This is why I feel RLL should reserve sponsors for videos that don't talk about such controversial tragic things. But RLL is just a smaller infographic show, an easy cash grab with these annoying sponsors because they can't for the life of them manage finances anyway, so...

lol
Thank you for making a video which helps to understand the current situation better :)
😂🤣😅
Any chance of an update on these matters? Real Life Lore does such a good job summarizing and putting pieces together. I'd heard of each part individually in the news but this video was terrific to watch. As much as those refugees are suffering, I can't blame the EU countries for not giving in to the crisis Lukashenko has made using the would-be immigrants. Poland is even offering humanitarian aid while refusing to allow entry; they care about the people, just not caving to Belarus's demands.
That sponsorship transition was disgusting
Not „between Poland and Belarus”, they’re in Belarus. There is no such thing as no man’s land between those countries. I’m talking about those migrants from middle east you mentioned in the very beggining.
They are caught on the border between Poland and Belarus. The land between the border fences/stations/patrols are usually called no mans land as it is several meters wide.
@@Jokerlevin Have you seen this border? I did. There is no such thing there, just thin chainlink fence. And they are on belarussian side of this fence, therefore they're in Belarus, not in imaginary no man's land.
The proverbial "he made his bed and now he has to lie in it"
He wanted to send an unlimited number of people across the border and is now stuck with that number in his own country.
It's no man's land because Belarus made it no man's land. Playing denial is only going to help Poland's enemies. Poland should create a steady stream of Refugee transports to their desired country, Germany in cooperation with Germany. Help some people out while also defanging Belarus' strategy.
@@reaverfang377 but Germany don't want to take them
A video suggestion I have is how Belarus and Ukraine, two of the most powerful Soviet Republics back in the day, have now completely diverged in their foreign policies. One is increasingly drawn into the transatlantic alliance while the other is almost overtly a lackey for Moscow.
the one is conservative, the other is nazi. What a lovely brotherhood.
@@mapoch9000 To say that Ukraine and rest of the region is very conservativ is a fair opinion but to call them nazi is a nonsence
It is easier for Ukraine to break out of the Russian sphere, because Ukraine is not landlocked.
Belarus is landlocked so they are more tightly in Russia’s orbit.
If every country west of Belarus is pretty much ignoring it's existence because it's ruled by a dictator they don't have much choice but to turn to Russia instead.

Quality of your videos is so good :). Great work
I'm Polish and tbh i dont have really grounded opinion about this situation. It's of course a great tragedy for people at the border but solving this crisis is not that easy... Lukashenka openly talked about passing drugs by a border, and while he talked about drugs, there may be other threats. Like imagine you are dictator which wants to make a damage for the EU in financial way and political way, you just want to make a mess and make EU accept that you are president of Belarus and accept that voting fraud wasn't fraud, and in action show EU that gas pipes which are going through Belarus are going through dangerous terretoriy and Belarus might just cut Russian gas deliveres, which is essencial for EU energetic system, and it will be even more essencial since Germany plans to shift it's energy sources to gas (I tbh hate idea of gas power stations, i'm nuke&renewable team). You might ask why gas pipes are such important right now, it's great question, but highly propablable is that they want to force EU to use North Stream 2, this pipe isnt going through Ukraine or other countries, it will be going straight to Germany, and i cant tell why (at least previous government) Germany is pushing this pipe so much, i simply dont understand how in other than finacial way its good idea. It not only will be a great tool for forcing EU to anything by treating that they will cut gas deliveries, but it's also not going through ukraine or belarus which means that Russia will be able to cut gas deliveries to Ukraine, but still sell gas to EU. Not even mentioning that Lukashenko surely knows ways to transfer terrorists to EU. Passing migrants also would mean that we as a EU accept this act of creating humanitarian and political crisis as insignificant. In short, if terrorist(in this case Lukashenko) threatens you to pay, you just have to say no.
I'm pretty sure if they cut off gas supplies that would be considered an act of war and they'd be obliterated. No one wants that. It's just political sabre rattling. I hope.
@@cho4d Cutting gas has been previously by different countries and have yet to result in any wars. Reason is that we know the economic and social price that comes with war, cutting gas is always lower than that. So cutting gas is rather convinient way of extorting neighbours, at worst you'll get hit with another wave of sanctions...
Like imagine you are a leader of a country sanctioned by some big political union. Would you spend money of your own country to protect the borders of said poltical union? I will make it even easier. Imagine if Russia suddenly becomes dirty rich. All Africa suddenly decides to move to Russia. And Africans move through Poland towards Russia. Will Poland spend its money to protect Russia from all these waves of African migrants? Or will you let them pass? Or maybe you will ask Russia to pay you for protecting Russian border.
As i see it, for the last decades Lukashenko got used to play on both sides with Russia and EU, and so being friends with them, assumed that no one wold criticize him for his methods. When after elections he was publicly denounced by the west, he took it as a personal insult and all these happenings are elaborate schemes of revenge. In aspect of deteriorating relationships of Russia and EU, it was only logical for them to support this events as a card in the political game.
Gas pipe belongs to big brother, they won't dare to touch that.

They just want to be enemies with the West, they will never accept Western ideology, things like "dont be racist" or "don't be a homophobe". Let's just hope those fanatics die out soon
@Estonian Nationalist I'm surprised an Estonian nationalist would support Russia considering how many Baltic nationalists support the Forest Brothers and SS marches. But I agree with the notion that going against "Western values" is just being normal. The only civilization to be able to fight against it on equal terms is the Russian civilization (which is too weak to do so right now, and Putin wants us to be weak because he himself is a Westerner which will come as a shock to all the stupid liberals on this trash propaganda channel) but unfortunately for the Baltics, russophobia is rampant. Just look what your people did to the Bronze soldier.

The problem with Belarus is the moment there's a revolution to overthrow Lukashenko then Russia will inevitably intervene. They will absolutely not let a democratic EU member form so close to Moscow. Ukraine is now invaded and it's one of the main reasons why. Very tough for Belarus people because it's the last ally of Russia to the west protecting them from direct conflict with nato and eu

Why insist on going to Europe when they can enter nearer rich oil countries with similar cultures and religion where they don't have to constantly complain about the climate being too cold?
Job market. Most of the local oil rich states have high unemployment and few open jobs, sending wages down. Europe has a larger base of minimum low wage working and social programs to help families get a footing.
Agreed. Muslim culture is incompatible with Western culture. Go to a more prosperous Muslim country where you can practice your religion with others.
