Ya know, folks can't have it both ways...either this is naughty and wrong...or we should be doing it too...

Been viewing you as a Russian oblast anyway...

According to the Duran, he enjoys good support from the populace.
They also said there was a recent attempted coup backed by the US.
IMO the US is driving them into closer relations with Russia.

Not that it matters in the end...

But is the support legit or is it cult of personality...and how thin or thick...or is it just their statists saying so?

I've never seen any verification of a coup...nothing outside of Minsk or Moscow or their clients...

But more importantly it is not fair to us to say the US is driving anybody to anything...if anybody is causing problems it is the illegitimate Biden regime and the shot-callers in the DeepState pulling his strings...don't lump all of us in with those statist bastards!
