Hopefully that's the case and the people have actual balls unlike russians(i swear for all their depiction of being hardy and strong, russians always let their rulers systematically kill them without any fight)...

It recently came out that Lukashenko esentially sold Belarus to Russia when they helped him stay in power some time ago sooo...

Why does this read like one gang is in charge and all other gangs are/will be imprisoned.

Then to hide the truth. The one remaining gang will be sophisticated and bend rules rather than kill and act violently.

It leads to a concern that anyone in the future that doesn't agree will be considered a gang member and imprisoned, without fair justice.

I say that based on the heavy restrictions imposed inside the prison. I hope I'm wrong and that it simply helps make the country safer.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 86%. (I'm a bot)


> Belarusian anti-war partisans claim to have severely damaged a Russian military aircraft in what an opposition leader has called the "Most successful diversion" since the beginning of the war.

> "The front and middle section of the aircraft were damaged, as well as avionics and a radar antenna," said a report attributed to BYPOL. The damage to the aircraft has not been independently confirmed, although both Russian and Belarusian military bloggers have reported explosions on Sunday at the airfield.

> Belarusian cyber-partisans have also been fighting the government since the 2020 protests against the Belarusian leader, Alexander Lukashenko.

While the closest most people in the US, including myself, have come to experiencing a true famine is watching sad commercials on TV, disasters that could result in the loss of half the world's population are just getting started. Extreme weather, unrecoverable drought, fires, disease, loss of arable land, loss of habitat are all problems that have been accelerating rather than getting better.

Water crises will be one of many battles over resources. South Africa has had cities run out of potable water. While these issues have been addressed, this problem is growing in Africa. In the US we are seeing new water wars emerge between states, including areas in the southwest wanting to drain water from the Great Lakes. Many wars have been fought over land, water, and natural resources. We are going to see more issues in places that can least afford these conflicts, and we will see other problems in developed countries like the US where some regions become nearly uninhabitable.

I think many people have climate fatigue when we should be seeing more climate panic. I think we are in for a great deal more global pain before the world does what is necessary.
