According to most Belarusians and Russians I've seen online, the election was certainly rigged but it is impossible to know to what extent. It does seem to me that he has lost support of most of the population, and his rule is unsustainable. That's unfortunate, as he's a pretty based leader.

However, I don't think this is at all like Maidan. Belarus is much less pro-western than the Ukraine and Russia would make a big mistake by behaving aggressively and defending Lukashenko. Such an attitude might radicalize the population against Russia and make Belarusians as rabidly pro-globohomo as Ukrainians are. Lukashenko will probably have to go, and his successor will likely be as pro-russian as he is, if not more.

Western hyenas are of course smelling blood and wish to use the situation to install a puppet government. If they do that, then Russia will have no option other than invading, jt would be insane for them not to do so. If Putin can't even manage to keep a majority russian-speaking artificially created country which historically was barely distinguishible from Russians themselves in Russia's sphere, he's done and so is Russia's resistance to the western cancer. If Belarus falls, it will be a matter of time before Russia does too.

Social Media is going insane with calls for "revolution" and full of "fellow Belarusians" trying to incite a bloodbath. The state of the world is absolutely disgusting.

I don't buy that.
