27007 Belarus
In summary:

Current "president" of Belarus has been in since 1994, using fairly brutal oppression to keep his grip on power.

In the most recent election, the results seem obviously falsified. Massive protests in the streets, pretty much all foreign media has been expelled, sites censored, police dropping grenades on protestors.

What do we think, lads? One of the last remaining Soviets finally going to bite it?

The theory is that he would want to put down any kind of "will of the people" revolution on his own doorstep, because it would encourage similar in his own country. I don't think he's in the least bit worried tbh.

Putin will turn up if the revolution involved Dutch/Polish tanks rolling in; while its very much a "will of the people" - and it really seems to be - I don't think he can do anything. What's really striking is that there have been no counter protests (by the mythical 80% who voted for Lukashenko), and when you have literally the workers of the Minsk Tractor Works going on strike, change is coming.

>historically Belarus has resisted any kind of Russian influence

That's a very short history you seem to be working with there. Lukashenko went as far as to discourage even the Belorussian language and the school curriculum teaches Soviet history - even today the Belarusian flag is repressed as far-right symbolism while the official symbols are Soviet imports. To add to this Russian subsidies petrochemicals can still be considered THE economy as Belarus gets cheap oil, refines it and sells it on.

This only started to change after Crimea where it became obvious that having your citizens deeply identify with Russia is a bad idea. Then came the cuts to Russian subsidies which is what really spurred on the recent rapprochement with the West. At least until last week Belarus was serving a purpose for everyone as a middleman under heavy Russian influence but which could broker peace in Ukraine.

But yeah, money's on Russia won't intervene because whatever comes after will still be heavily pro-Russia out to sheer necessity. Putin doesn't need to bail out Lukashenko and at any rate it's unaffordable at the moment. It's a very different situation to what happened in the Ukraine and I'm sure even the protesters are conscious that the new boss will be same as the old boss.

>that Putin is a sort of Scooby Doo Soviet dictator in disguise

No scooby doo stuff involved. If you look at how Putin has altered Russia's constitution and legal frameworks just to benefit himself and enable him to stay in power almost indefinitely, then he's at least not somebody we would lightly call a good democrat.

That said, I think there is plenty of exaggeration going around at the moment. Putin didn't take Crimea for the sake of stealing land from a foreign country, but because it is the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea fleet. The pro-Western, pro-American revolution in Ukraine was a serious threat to Russia's unhindered access to its own naval bases in the area.

Russian politics tends to be crude. If there had been an anti-Western revolution in some Central or South American country where the U.S. has major military bases, then the Americans probably would have used all their clandestine political might to sabotage the revolutionaries. Putin did a quite probably massively rigged referendum to annex the whole Crimea peninsula. Same effect, different means.

But to think that Putin would send troops to Belarus is just nonsense. For what? To what end? This isn't the Soviet Union anymore that sent tanks into Prague in 1968. Putin may be an autocrat, but I am sure he's not stupid enough to come to the aid of a fellow autocrat who could be facing expulsion if there's really going to be a revolution.

At the end of it though, I think a lot of the protest against Lukashenko is secretly instigated by the West. The Americans are probably doing a similar job as they did in Ukraine in 2012-2013 and are heavily supporting the protesters and equipping them both with money and manpower. Except you won't read that in Western newspapers.

Nobody's calling him a democratic leader, he's an old fashioned oligarch baron plain and simple. Only the charade feudalism of neo-liberalism permits such figures to pretend to be democratically elected.

As such his aims and motivations are largely the same as any other country would be in the same situation. None of them involve getting your hands dirty to prop up a failing dictator, when at the end of the day you can just sub in one of your guys anyway.

>The Americans are probably doing a similar job as they did in Ukraine in 2012-2013 and are heavily supporting the protesters and equipping them both with money and manpower. Except you won't read that in Western newspapers.

Not that lad, but the Times article is based off something in GQ magazine.

When I remarked that must have been some knife, Metcalf shrugged: “Sometimes they use a kebab skewer.”

The scan showed two major concerns. The first was the patient’s colon, which had been perforated and would require surgery. He would likely require a colostomy bag, at least in the short term. Yet, among gangs, Metcalf told me, stabbing victims in the bowel is increasingly common and done on purpose to humiliate their victim.

“If you stab someone in the guts and you perforate the bowel, as a surgeon you just can’t close it up. Because it’s contaminated with faeces, there is a risk of getting infected. Therefore you have a colostomy bag, so your bowel is brought out into a bag, at least temporarily. It may be joined at a future stage when the bowels are all sterilised and clean.” It even has a name: it’s called bagging. “So they will aim to try and not just kill someone, but permanently disable them.”

100k is a lot more than I would expect (mostly because the BBC says £80k).

I assume a person tech savvy enough to have bitcoins wouldn't fall for that scam, for one thing the internet is so rife with people trying to seperate them from their bitcoins that I would assume that the ones quite this stupid would have been weeded out already.

Buzzfeed to close UK news operation

Online media firm Buzzfeed is to close its UK and Australian news operations. The US company, which set up its London office in 2013, said the decision had been made "both for economic and strategic reasons".

Buzzfeed said it would be focusing on news that "hits big in the United States during this difficult period". Some staff will stay on to cover social news, celebrity and investigations for US readers, but it is thought about 10 jobs are affected

What's happening now will only enhance the powers of figures like Murdoch. News Corporation is a loss-making venture, but Murdoch doesn't need to turn a profit on news - he doesn't really mind the fact that it has lost around a billion dollars a year over the past few years, because it's cross-subsidised by the rest of his media empire. It's effectively a strategic investment in buying influence.

That's the reality of an unprofitable news industry. Comment is cheaper than reporting and there's always someone willing to bankroll propaganda.
