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.

I wonder what would happen if Lukashenko dies suddenly
