The popular rumor is that he's been hesitant to join Russia so far because if he sacrifices his military and police in an invasion he won't have enough troops to oppress his people and he might get overthrown.
@Cultured Anime Waifu 2.0 not enough equipment for those troops though. Even the current ones are getting Soviet union age gear
@Cultured Anime Waifu 2.0 they are untrained conscripts, though. They are basically cannon fodder. They are also barely armed with extremely outdated equipment. In some cases, soldiers are sharing a gun.
@@Cultured_Anime_Waifu_3.0 they are being sent NATO equipment. They are fine
Also Ukraine still has a large well trained military that hasnt shown any signs of slowing dowb, Russia's good troops are tired
@Cultured Anime Waifu 2.0 Ukraine got billions of $ from smart countries and tons of weapons from USA. Russia already wasted 40% of all tanks and 30% of all equipment. Those idiots will get invaded by china if they keep it up
@Cultured Anime Waifu 2.0 Ukraine is continually getting more equipment, weapons, money and training through foreign aid. Russia is not, except drones from Iran which aren't much good for anything except terror campaigns against civilians.
One of the best quotes I've heard about Belarus getting involved is "If Lukashenko decides to commit troops to the invasion, he will very quickly find out that the guns are not pointed at Ukraine."
I imagine like in a Mel Gibson movie. They charge in. Hug with Ukraine's. Show their buds to Russia and charge
It was involved form day one what kind of bs life-is-a-marvel-movie type of quote is this?

The guy has SOME loyal supporters. He will have to send _those_ to Ukraine, not the rebels. The rebels will stay at home and face the brutal boots of _Putin's loyal occupation troops_ who will be glad that they are not sent into an active warzone.
A guy is walking down the street in Minsk, the capital of Belarus very close to the protests when suddenly a police car full of cops pulls up. The cops jump out of the car and start beating up the guy.
The poor guy then yells: "No, please, stop! I voted for Lukashenko!"
One of the cops then responds: "Shut up, liar! No one voted for Lukashenko!"

I recently met someone from Belarus at the train to Berlin, he has been a prisoner because of protests in Belarus and a Polish football player. He told me almost no one supports the current Belarus's regime
And yet that has never stopped a despot from holding on to power. Keep your guns.
Fake story
Im polish so we have quite a bit of belarusians living here. My taxi driver sometime ago was belarusian and I asked him about the situation over there. Dude just said that if he was able to he would murder Lukashenka with his own bare hands... so yeah if people hate him so much there is no fucking way he had 80+% of support in elections.
As a belarusian I can confirm.

Thankyou for your amazingly informative videos! Please keep them coming. This is all news should have ever been
If Lukashenko says no, Putin could replace him with someone who will say yes
If he says yes, his own people could rise up
I'm surprised how perfectly he keeps the balance though, because he really does.
@@squidwardfromua It looks like it's barely balanced rn
hes already said "no" dumbass. Theres no Belarussian army in Ukraine right now,.you dont think Putin has asked or demanded him to join? for now using belarus as a staging ground, and a missile launch center is enough for the Russians.

Hi John, Is the narrator of this video pronouncing Belarus properly?
@@brianvisser5546 during our school and university `s english program(i`m a belarussian too) we are teached to pronounce it like Belarus with a letter "u" pronounced like "u" in a word burger for example
I can’t decide if my favorite Lukashenko video is him playing hockey and saying that Covid will never affect Byelorussia because they have hockey and vodka. Or the one where he’s absolutely convinced that Putin will make him a Col. of the Soviet Army, to the absolute bewilderment of the interviewer.
I would recommend the movie Иди и Смотри for an idea of Belarus in WW2 but mind you it’s not for the faint of heart.
He was right about covid
@@UsernamerAlreadyTakn No, he wasn't.
At least tens of thousands of belarusians died to covid (it's not a big country to begin with) and everybody either has lost someone or knows someone who has.
Doctors were threatened against diagnosing covid (or even saying the word out loud) and his pocket statisticians were tasked with hiding the true death toll, but the public still found out, which became one of the catalysts of the 2020 protests.
It would be cool if you could link your sources in the description.
23:09 - “The Soviet Union may have formally ceased to exist in 1991. But its collapse is still taking place right before our eyes. The fate of Eastern Europe for generations to come literally hangs in the balance over what will happen over the coming few months.”
Great analysis.
He just says what you guys want to hear. He has no secret insight into anything. Just makes good videos. Ukraine has the backing of 50 country's and lost a city to mercenaries aka convicts. That's bad no matter how you try to justify it
Seems a bit more like that empire is building itself back up (albeit in a different form), not collapsing further. This video started out accurately (talking about the immense Russian military build-up in Belarus and elsewhere) but then quickly devolved back into the NATO narrative, a bit. Even when they glance off the real situation over there...most people cannot stay with it.
@@RUTHLESSambition5 you don't know a bit what you are spitting out of your mouth
@Affluent BIG Slime Yeah after his video about scotland being NATO's greatest weakness.
I now doubt if he really has insight in the many topics he brings up.
Although it bears saying that the sheer, point-by-point parallels between how Lukashenko stays in power and a certain regime in a certain, very large western nation across the pond got/stays in power is rather sobering. Lukashenko is simply more open with all his little stunts.
Dude is like a James Bond villain running a country.

In Scotland for example the SNP are taking us closer and closer to becoming something like this once they gain independence. Already in Scotland :
-People are charged by police for making fun of the First Minister
-The SNP tried to ban protesting around the Parliament
-Speech laws have been put in place and are controlled by them
-Have a higher budget for their PR(spin doctors) than the entire UK government
-They removed term limits
Probably my fave weird thing they have done is spending over 5m on cars to transport paper documents
Scotland will never gain their independence as they have been misled by the SNP, they have had a vote and they voted to stay n the UK.

My best friend was born in Belarus and a few weeks before the initial invasion started his grandparents still in the country got a draft notice for him. He explained it wouldn’t matter unless he returned to Belarus and told me that if he ever did return it would be “to tear the mustache off of Lukeshanko and choke him with it.”
I love him so much
No you don’t
😂😂 make sure to do that to putin with his mustache
Cool story, no, but you full of sht, i mean "your friend"
Belarus is cool country with cool people. (Not the government ofc)
America attempted a coup d'etat in Belarus in 2020 just like they orchestrated the coup in Kiev in 2014, America has been trying to encircle and destroy Russia and, turn all its former allies against since the 90s when they broke the promise is given to Gorbachev that they wouldn't expand NATO eastwards if he allowed for the Germany to be reunified.
Ukraine had a democratic government in Kiev before 2014, remember Victoria Nuland's famously leaked phone call with the US ambassador to Ukraine Jeffery Pyat where she said 'fuck the EU' and was talking about who the new Ukrainian president and prime minister would be, you think this is normal behavior for a foreign government like the US that has no historical attachment to Ukraine to decide who their next government will be? This was all happening while Victor Yanukovych Ukraine's elected president was still in power BTW
American neo colonial neo imperialist foreign policy led by the blood thirsty neo conservative warmongers in Washington makes me sick.

Seems like I’ve heard something about 2020 electron being safe and secure
I like how whenever people talk about how bad Belarus is they include the death penalty thing seemingly forgetting that America still does that too
The death penalty is barbaric, America is equal to Belarus in terms of it's justice system. Both countries imprison and execute innocent people regularly, the only difference is their excuse.
Yeah. I don't agree with the death penalty either, but that isn't an automatic sign of a dictatorship.

In my opinion if Belarus attacks Ukraine more (they already let Russia move in from their land) it'll probably be the end of Belarus or at least Lukashenko due to it not being like Russia. There's a bit more resistance there.

You better believe that Putin has been pressuring Lukashenko to join the war and Lukashenko has been putting it off due to how things have been going for Russia and his own tenuous place as leader of Belarus.

Actually, as a russian, you can only move around Belarus for 90 days without visa. You still need to go through a lot of paperwork to get a working permit and a residence permit. And on that stage, russians have no advantages in comparrison to other foreighners. Then it takes 7 years of constantly living inside of Belarus (you can't leave country's borders even for a week) to apply for a citizenship.
All Russians are evil
Ok
I flew out of Minsk international to St Petersburg, having two visas (one for each country), and expected to be stamped out of Belarus and stamped into Russia. Nope. I got it taken care of, but technically I illegally entered Russia because nobody checked my passport even when I asked, and I didn't know that flights between Russia and Belarus were considered domestic. I was supposed to have flown to a different country in between.
Когда летишь в Белоруссию и Россию не надо брать 2 визы, достаточно одной. Белорусская виза годна в России и наоборот.

@@yannick9867 but in the EU I don't go from one country to the other illegally. It wasn't a problem for Russians and Belarusians, but for visitors who didn't know. It's like they have it half figured out. If it's an international flight for visitors then they need to check passports and visas. If it's a domestic flight, then one visa should be fine. Instead they're sort of half way.
there is no border between White Russia and russia only border control for foreigners you should have known
French I entered white russia without visa and I never felt that it coulee a dictator ship the border control at entrance was strict that all
Very easy to said it. But when you are on the field, everything change. You have hunger, thirst, need rest, civilian task help, weather, soldier hability to deal with their psychology. If they lie to the soldiers or not, also their front line leaders to be calm, or if stress they can do hammed to their leader and the most danger. Their companion drying in their faces.

05:56 - Wait, why is Finland 🇫🇮 highlighted?
Finland was a free country during the USSR's Reign and was famously neutral - until recently -
Unless its there because of the Imperial Russia empire 👑 before the Soviet Union 🇨🇳 ??
Probably because a stipulation of Finland's post WWII continued independence, was its neutrality, which in effect means the USSR controlled their foreign policy in regards to alignment, in a pseudo version of what Finland was during the era of the Russian Empire with autonomy, but separate unlike in the latter.
@@QueenMooSuko

Can't think of any other reason off the top of my head 🤔
The Russians conquered and subjugated the Finns for a while, but they managed to break free - they were the lucky ones, but they have to keep their guard up, like the Baltic states and Poland. They all have proud individual histories that predate Russian occupation, not that you would know that if you were a Russian schoolchild learning Putin's "alternate history".

This is better coverage than anything I've seen on the mainstream news channels. In depth, in context and to the point. Your presentation is interesting yet not sensational. I finally have an understanding of what's happening here. Thank you.
This is high-calorie propaganda. The author does not mention that Belarus has the healthiest economy in the entire post-Soviet space, the cleanest and most comfortable cities, there is practically no corruption, there are no oligarchs in power, as well as other agents of the American or British special services. And the last thesis worries the shadow rulers of the West the most. The difference between the Western dictatorship and the dictatorship of Belarus is that in the West it is hidden, manipulative, and in Belarus it is manifested. And Lukashenko, as a man of the people, is not cut off by his roots from the people and acts for the benefit of his people. Since he understands this. Western elites are not even afraid of a nuclear war, since they will be fine in the post-apocalypse. That is why they are provoking Russia to use nuclear weapons in order to turn the whole world against Russia under the pretext of millions of deaths of their fellow citizens. Western elites are evil hundreds of times more than Lukashenko, Putin and Stalin combined.

As a belorussian 6 month later things changed. I was travelling to St.Petersburg and had to wait 8 hours to get through the border. From were I and in my school using belorussian is really apricciated. And in our capital there only three banks where you can change belorussian ruble into russian.
as a person from Belarus i should say that you covered the topic extremely well. thank you for giving context about the current political regime here, because lately this have been overlooked a lot while talking about the war in ukraine and belarus` involvment in it.
Be careful man, stay safe. Sounds scary out there.
@@Lundmunchkins2000TV thank you! yeah, unfortunately it`s not fun at all
As an outsider I want to ask you how Belarusian people identify themselves ethnically?
@@hadjihawaie well, as slavic, if i understand you question correctly
America attempted a coup d'etat in Belarus in 2020 just like they orchestrated the coup in Kiev in 2014, America has been trying to encircle and destroy Russia and, turn all its former allies against since the 90s when they broke the promise is given to Gorbachev that they wouldn't expand NATO eastwards if he allowed for the Germany to be reunified.
Ukraine had a democratic government in Kiev before 2014, remember Victoria Nuland's famously leaked phone call with the US ambassador to Ukraine Jeffery Pyat where she said 'fuck the EU' and was talking about who the new Ukrainian president and prime minister would be, you think this is normal behavior for a foreign government like the US that has no historical attachment to Ukraine to decide who their next government will be? This was all happening while Victor Yanukovych Ukraine's elected president was still in power BTW
American neo colonial neo imperialist foreign policy led by the blood thirsty neo conservative warmongers in Washington makes me sick.
The question is; If the Belarusian army marches, will it be toward Kiev or Minsk?
Likely Minsk honestly. It cannot be understated how unpopular Lukashenko is there. While the officers are some of his cronies, the average grunts are conscripts, forced to serve for them, and likely do not look at his government in a positive way.
@@liamweaver2944 Yeah i doubt that will happen he has more power than you think... Like every dictator out there.. Or the illusion of the west that you have a say or vote in elections...
Imagine people really choosing Biden in USA... They didnt.. He kissed Barack Obamas ass and became a president. People are dying because of rich and powerful people for land. Like were in the medieval times and are fighting for cabbage and potato field. Thats because people are PROGRAMED by TV PROGRAMS... :)
@@liamweaver2944 your forgetting that if Putin can’t take Ukraine he will take Belarus which is far easier to occupy and annex with its 4 million people. all he needs is 100,000 soldiers deployed to keep the peace and force Lukashenko to annex Belarus into being a Russian republic.

Great video, very well made. Only one statistic may be wrong - the people group / country that lost the most percentage of civilians during WWII is actually Okinawa with 150,000 civilians being killed - roughly half of the estimated pre-war population of about 300,000.This is NOT to downplay the horrendous suffering of the Belorussians during WWII , if you've ever seen the movie "Come And See" from 1985, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

It would be great if you showed satellite images when you talk about the satellite images, rather than just stock footage. I think it would solidify the information.
They’re probably classified lol
If Belarus really tries that, this would be pretty quickly the end of Lukashenko's reign because Russia won't rush to Belarus to help him stay in power as they don't have the resources for that at the moment. Lukashenko requires all military in his own country as that's basically what keeps him power in the first place.
@@la.c8016 A coup does not require 90% of or population being against you, a coup can work out if 5% of the population is against you and the majority of it is not coming to the rescue if they go after you.

I may be late but the russian border on map at 5:55 seems to belong to Russian Empire not USSR
Finland is definitely extra, same with what seems to be part of poland.
Parts of Poland were annexed by the Soviets in the WW II.
Yes, the map is wrong: Finland was never a part of the Soviet Union, and also Caucasus (annexed in early 1920s) is missing.
@@GioGziro95 this is the map of the old Russian empire. Yes the USSR did annex parts of Poland but Poland used to be further east. The USSR moved it west. But using modern Polish borders, this is showing the Russian Empire map from 1914 not the USSR map from 1949-1989.
@@PremierCCGuyMMXVI, oh, you're totally right. Western Belarusians are Polish-speaking to this day. It's probably a map of early Russian Empire.

he used the territories of the russian empire... this video is full of inaccuracies, typical

As a Belarussian, im 80% sure that Lukashenko is not gonna send his troops to fight in Ukraine, especially after 2020 elections and mass protests. And i think if it actually happens, it gonna cause a civil war he wont handle. But who knows what can happen. Peace.

More of a general comment that it was nice to see a description that begins with pointing outward from the channel's interest and gain (a blurb about the video, the channel, subbing, etc) to something they felt was important

@@WBMSS Svetlana Tikhonovskaya this lady is a housewife. She doesn't understand politics or economics. She ran for president only thanks to her husband, who of course is also not very smart, but he is a banker. He wanted to run for president, but they put him in prison for his machinations, and now Tikhonovskaya was nominated instead of him. And of course Western politicians need such a stupid controlled henchman. To destroy Belarus and turn it into what they turned Ukraine into. I listened to her interview, she literally can't connect two words.
@@WBMSS There are people in Russia who are paid money for writing shit on the Internet. Do not pay attention, they are called the "troll factory" and belong to Prigozhin, and the very one who gathers squads of thugs in prisons and sends them to kill Ukrainians.

That's not really his type of content and I don't think you should be pushing your opinions onto a channel that you don't own. He can choose what he wants to talk about, and usually he chooses much bigger issues. Can't believe you're comparing that lake to war in Ukraine...

Belarus entering the war is however very, _very_ unlikely considering the Belarus armed (or lack thereof) forces are primarily used as an internal security force, not an entity actually capable of military operations.
Plus NATO would invade them with no second thought
@@liamsteele4982 very unlikely, that would trigger a wat war with Russia due to their CSTO obligations
@@liamsteele4982 Incorrect. NATO are under no obligation to back Ukraine because Ukraine is NOT a NATO member. This is why NATO is not on the ground in Ukraine. What is currently happening is a proxy war.
You can't tell how strong a nations military force is...

North Korea
Russia
Iran (pushing for nukes)
Belarus (Russian nukes)
