This is probably related to this colour revolution thread from yesterday.
UAZ "Patriot" MIA trailers with barbwire now deployed in Minsk, capital of Belarus.
Additional forces deploying, including water cannons and a machine setting up barbwire.
Random photo of Belarus forces in Minsk, can't confirm for certain that it was taken today though.

Oh for sure. Reflexive opposition to Western intervention and skepticism of their narrative is just, like, a given. You can do it braindead and basically never be wrong. Short of like ISIS or something, and even then.
But this is a case where the West doesn't need to exaggerate much. Belarus is one of those countries where cops give you a ticket for driving too slow. It basically fucking sucks.
Neoliberalization obviously won't make it better, and this is all some weird geopolitical play against Russia, who also fucking sucks.
Status quo is better than whatever the fuck is being attempted right now, probably. But it's not good right now. Belarus never recovered from the collapse.

I mean, compared to the US where the cops murder you while you're asleep in your own bed when they show up at the wrong house, I'll take it.
