The relationship chicken between Belarus and Russia is so weird to watch

Their relationship is very weird. I can’t understand why Putin doesn’t just take over Belarus and have their soldiers fight for him since that whole country is basically just little Russia.

Study Italy during World War 2. Once UK and US invaded Sicily, the fascist party kicked out and arrested Mussolini, then offered to switch sides against Nazis. The Nazis then freed Mussolini, disarmed and replaced all Italian troops on the front to stop allied advance up the peninsula - leading for the need for D-Day/invasion of Normandy.
The second the war starts going badly, Belarus government/people will kick out Lukashenko and Russia will have to effectively occupy the country like Germany did Italy. Good chance Lukashenko meets the same fate as Mussolini when all this is over (which is pretty bad. You should read how he died because history often rhymes).

What? I read your second link and he just got shot, that's not bad at all? Now if we're talking about days of torture involving flaying and fire, that might be getting into the territory of reasonably just.

Relative to not dying, getting shot is pretty bad.
OP might be referring to this line in the article though about why it was pretty bad
> At least twelve different individuals have, at various times, been claimed to be the killer.
Could this imply that he was shot multiple times?

I read it like the development of the Ford Mustang.
The saying goes something like "with how many men claim to be the father of the Mustang, I'd hate to be the mother".
Of course that's a shitty and misogynistic thing to say, but it illustrates the way people play up their role in anything worthwhile.

How he actually died is not really clear. the circumstances and all. It wasn't done in public, only after the fact he was exposed. Which is a shame, he should have been sentenced and killed after a fair trial, then, I think, we would have less fascists wannabe today.

He died like Gaddafi, at the hands of a mob of citizens he once ruled. Then they hung his body in the town square and everyone mutilated it.

I wonder what would happen if Lukashenko dies suddenly

Because unlike Russians, Belarussians aren't affected by the 30 years of state sponsored brainwashing. They literally spent the entire covid years clashing with their police and some parts of the military until Russia put a stop to it with their state sponsored face smashers with the name of OMON.

That's simply untrue. Belarus media under full state control and has same level of propaganda as russia. Main protests take only two months - August and September 2021 - just after results of fake elections were published. Peacful protest were supressed just by internal forces of Belarus with cruelty, many people vanished and many more told stories about beatings and tortures by militia and KGB, russian rosgvardiya forces were concetrated near the border and ready to enter Belarus but never did.

Belarus is a semi-puppet state of Russia, with the unpopular dictator Lukashenko being kept in power by Russians military might. As a Russian puppet state, Russians keeps publicly trying to get Belarus to send their troops into Ukraine, but that would be extremely unpopular to the Belarusian population. So Lukashenko keeps making anti-Ukraine and anti-NATO noises to placate Putin, while at the same time doing everything he can to find and loudly talk about excuses to not actually send their troops into Ukraine.

Where do people get it from? Lukashenko managed to pull it off himself, without any help. Give the bastard credit where it's due. He's a master oppressor that makes Putin with his 1mil+ security force look like a little girl.

I'm not sure eli5 means what you think it means. 5 year olds generally don't understand the concept of fucking.
