What Will the Latest U.S-Belarusian Concessions Change? Maybe a lot!

They say old men are often habitually and easily stuck in their ways! Or what about the old dog you can not teach new tricks anymore! 😊

Well, at least Lukashenko (age 71, in office since 1994) recently released a total of more than 150 political prisoners in recent months (see here and here) thanks to President Trump! That is a great success!

If President Trump can persuade Belarus to change allegiance away from Putin the Terrible and more towards Europe that would be phenomenal!

Freed Belarus opposition figure Sergei Tikhanovsky speaks out after five years of solitary confinement in prison

What a horror story!

The cell was described as three square meters, no bed, a hole in the floor as a toilet and no other prisoners around or anywhere near him. How do you define cruelty?

"Sergei Tikhanovsky was held in solitary confinement in a high security Belarusian prison for five years after he dared to stand up to a dictator.
 
The former opposition blogger is now in enforced exile, freed along with 13 other political prisoners after a senior US delegation paid a rare visit to the authoritarian ruler of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko.
 
He spoke to the BBC’s Sarah Rainsford about how the last five years have been and reuniting with his family."

Why Is Belarus Freeing about 110 Political Prisoners or almost 10% of all political prisoners in the last three months?

Good news!

Is the old and long-term dictator Alexander Lukashenko (age 70, in office since 1994) of Belarus distancing himself from Putin the Terrible? They say wisdom comes with age! 😊 Better late than never!

"Belarus has freed about 110 political prisoners in four waves in the last three months. The most recent release was on September 16, when thirty-seven people walked free. Of course, this is a drop in the ocean of political repression in Belarus. Over 1,300 political prisoners remain behind bars, including opposition leaders, journalists, and activists—and new arrests continue.  ..."

Why Is Belarus Freeing Political Prisoners? - Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center | Carnegie Endowment for International Peace "The unusual move is likely a signal to the West that Minsk is uncomfortable about the prospect of permanent dependence on Moscow."


This is the dangerous embrace between Lukashenko and Putin the Terrible
