Limits on privatization is a key to govern Belarus. That's how he kept his power. Workers and former communists want to keep state property. They and their children are the majority. That is how.

He is PATRIOT and has the courage to stand against tainted western liberals, globalism multiculture.

If you do not like Belarus you can lave this country we don't live in CCCP anymore, Lukasheko allows you to travel and live in another country. So, if you prefer to live in a country with no principles, no values (family is very underestimated) full of illegal immigrants, parades, scandals please feel free go to Paris, NO PROBLEM, but remember, there is no way back.

FB even deletes the accounts of those users who publish posts and comments in support of Lukashenko. So Lukashenko is doing everything right, and for some it is not profitable.

[@gtacinematic]

The shark is, of course, much more giant than the seal. It requires much more energy to sustain its speed. So the question isn't so much about stamina as it is whether the shark can afford to lose the power exerted by chasing. They're both warm-blooded, so the seal can move quickly without too much energy loss. The shark could technically keep up the chase and eventually catch the seal, but the shark must make the call regarding whether the meal will replace the energy lost plus some. In a sense, too much excessive movement could result in the shark starving even though it still eats. Lukashenko should decide the seal is worth it.

[@crawfordsmith3700]

A rather cynical analysis , I should say. It sinks no roots into fertile soil , and suggests no no hope for the future .

[@3OHT.]

I know this is just an analogy to illustrate your point, but you should’ve picked a different one! Sharks (even great white sharks) can go months without eating. Even if they were to chase the seal for hours, they will be fine. In fact, their whole thing is about hunting down smaller, agile animals.

[@monamano6933]

They bouth are warm blooded, so the seal can move quickly without too much energy loos".-what does it have to do together? And shark is not warm blooded.

@@Reinhard_Erlik Nah brother, centralising power in a single person is never a good idea. Individual humans are weak and emotional, there are very few people alive who can handle such power and pretty much never the ones that actually get it. What Belarus needs is education and acces to information. And sufficiently economically stable lives that they can actually use that knowledge. Given that any country turns into a democracy on their own.
