Why is Belarus still an independent cunt instead of being some kind of ethnic republic within Russia? What's with the cucked "Union State" arrangement? It's probably the only place on earth that would voluntarily be part of Russia as well. Please explain like I'm retarded (I am)
Its a buffer zone. Good for gayto and good for ziggers. Like 1 in 4 of them died in world war 2
>>522554615How can it be a buffer zone when it basically takes orders from Moscow?
>Why do nations exist instead of being swallowed up by Globohomo?KYS
>>522554946Its imaginary. For zigger "security guarantees". https://youtu.be/1JNtiO7nhmoLukashenko is not a serious person. He is a potato farmer larping as a leader. Even zigger propagandists laugh in his face lol
>>522554209I genuinely don't understand at what point the switchup happened on /pol/ where now globalism is good if it is Russia focused?
>>522555137It isn't globalism, it's spheres of influence. Belarus is an artificial buffer state, they speak perfect Russian from cradle to the grave, they also have a made up language like "Ukrainian" for the sake of larping and a soviet proconsul as a leader
>>522554209They want peace, stability and their own country. Luka give them a little of all
Belarus still needs to be Denazified. Like Ukraine, Belarus also has a weird history of collaboration with the Nazis. Russia keeps them at arms length to avoid associating with Nazis. Perhaps they will eventually Denazify them like Ukraine. Time will tell.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byelorussian_collaboration_with_Nazi_Germany
>>522555093>>522555137I didn't say it was good or even auspicable, it's just that Belarus' existence as a sovereign polity is pure fiction
>>522555251I don't get it, is there a cosmological mandate that Moscow must control all eastern slavs?
>>522554209Belarus is Russia's Belgium.Make sense of that as you will.
>>522554209>It's probably the only place on earth that would voluntarily be part of RussiaAre you sure about that? They had massive riots that security forces could barely beat into submission. The claim is that Lukashenko and his Soviet-nostalgic pro-Russia boomer ideology is supported by only 3% of the public.>>522555137>>522555459I understand it must be bewildering for people from Eastern Europe / former USSR. It's basically the same line of thought "Alex Tierney" expresses in the (awesome) B-Movie "Death Train". Westerners think their lives were better when the West had genuine competition that their rulers were scared might win and kill them all. That it kept them on their best behavior and by neccessity united society around concepts that kept it competitive, like homogenous ethnostates, repression of odious ideas like anything from the "woke" catalog, bribing the plebs into loving their system with rising living standards from increases in buying power due to broader public participation in the wealth created by economic growth, generous social and pension systems, accessible homeownership, things like that. They no longer see the demise of the adversary superpower as a beneficial event. In this view you guys are just fauna, you don't matter, they don't care how miserable you were in those days. They want Player 2 to come back and scare the Bezoses, Musks, Thiels and Finks of the world into again caring about the mood of their subjects out of fear Putin will have them broomsticked to death by Chechenigs. They support Russian imperialism in the former USSR space so they get strong enough to do that again. Same reason many now root for Chinks. It's not just muh contrarianism. It's a bit more complex than that. It is autistic, egotistical and in many ways retarded but that's what it is. You guys just get thrown under the bus in that gambit but no one cares about that.
>>522554209Belarus is not and never was part of moskalia. It was eother Kievan, thrn lithuanian, then it was a part of PLC. Moskals only put dibs on 200 years ago
>>522554209lol
>>522554209Integration would be financially difficult.
