News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]

I tell you both something from my experience:

For the 40th birthday of its founding the GDR threw a big party....everyone was invited....country leaders....so the world could see a huge parade....proudly marching soldiers in perfect formation...besides gleaming most modern weaponry....the whole old guard above waving generously back to its happily waving people down there....

Everybody could see how strong the GDR was....everything was running smoothly....the GDR worked great....everything was fine...the rulers were uncontested....

That was in the summer of 1989....only a few months later the wall fell....without many tears by its population at all...

You know what I learned from that? The power and glory of dictatorships is more often than not only a lie, a nice wrapping, not more! The bigger the sh*it they want to sell the bigger the parades and the "waving crowds".

The "weak and spineless" West will survive them all!

You see the poisoning of a leader of the opposition as "weak"? They got caught, that was stupid....not weak!


Thing is, they don't care about their internal opinion either....hence the brutal opression of any opposition.

Tell me Rich, if a government doesn't care about it's people and their opinions, what right does it have to rule over it in the first place?

As you salute Hitler, Putin and China....we get it, there is a pattern....

The more autocratic, the more brutal the dictatorship, the happier it makes you!

For example?

Me too....

But here comes the thing, the technology (and Photoshop) have evolved enormously. It is nowadays possible to fake the fakes totally real....you can even fake videos....it's called "deep fakes".

A photoshopped head is today, if done by professionals, nearly indistinguishable....and I wouldn't put Lukashenkos dogs /KGB as amateurs...


I doubt his aquaintance with Azov in the first place....so.... :)

Is that even possible???

That's what he fears....It could very well be the after-Lukashenka Belarus could get an anti-Putin gov....maybe they want closer ties to the EU and NATO...who knows...

SPIEGEL just published an interview with Lukashenko critical NEXTA head Stepan Putilo and his work with Roman Protasevich. He was a chief editor and wrote about the regime violence.

spiegel.de/ausland/nexta-chef-stepan-putilo-wir-sind-die-staatsfeinde-nr-1-a-967a3e55-d911-4cf4-b653-47d367dd0089

Of course not a word of him being a fighting member of a neo-nazi regiment....that's ridiculous!

PS: Another big critic of Lukashenko's regime is Swetlana Tichanowskaja, maybe a neo-nazi too?

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]


To believe any opposition wanting more democratic rights is Nazi....then what is that? ;)

Let's wait....(but not one led by Lukashenko that is)

"....Allies of the Belarusian dissident detained after Minsk's operation to divert a Ryanair flight fear he has been tortured in prison and forced to confess to crimes against the regime...."

....that could all be fakes, lets wait till others pick that up who shed more light on that.

To say it frankly...I don't believe your sources! I work in the graphic design/3D industry and it isn't difficult to photoshop heads onto bodies.

I need other opinions on that...real proof!

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]


A journalist then?

Let's wait till other news sources pick that up....I want more opinions on that!

A real find for Fox News! :)

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]


Maybe there aren't any? ;)


The only thing you have is a photo of a head that might be him or not....ever heard of fakes?

A true neo-nazi who is such an important member of Azov that he was deemed worthy of a cover pic has surely enough proof of his real mindset, wouldn't you think? There must be alot more to find, his history with Azov for example...statements....his rise in ranks....his training.....comrades who knew him from before and fought with him side by side...etc...

And that would truly clear things up....that photo alone just isn't enough in these faking times, sorry!

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]

In the link to that twitter thread there are those photos....and I CAN compare! :)

Do you have some statements made by him which support that accusation of him being a neo-nazi?

That would clear things up, don't you think?

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]

I just read about that...it seems that isn't him in the photo....at least its highly doubtful!

twitter.com/kooleksiy/status/1396992252640174083

They even put two head shots of him side by side...

Then there is the logic....usually your typical neo-nazi is very much authoritarian and anti-democratic and for sure isn't generally standing up for more liberal human rights....

It somehow doesn't wash!

"Lukashenka" is the female form, isn't it? :)

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]

Hmmm....I'm not sure if I should believe you! The enemies of a dictatorial regime have always been defamed and denigrated by the not-free media of such a government.

I remember that very well!

What I could find in the english and german speaking internet have always been only those allegations

"....He faces extremism charges in Belarus, including organising mass riots and inciting social hatred, related to the protests late last year....."

news.sky.com/story/ryanair-plane-diverted-so-blogger-could-be-arrested-who-is-roman-protasevich-12315440

But no proof at all! Standing up to a dictator doesn't make you a Nazi.

If you have anything more than that please post it....

*nods*

Yes, that's all there is, no conspiracy!

(plus maybe some Germans in Austria or Germany wouldn't had even gotten its pity-points)

Spain only did get a few points too, maybe its really time for the "Big Five" to rethink their given carte blanche. That really doesn't bring out the best in us. Maybe it would better we would enter the contest through the semis, like everybody else....at least Germany and the UK would be spared the yearly humiliations, heh:)
