Is #Putin's #Russia planning to use #Belarus for renewed attacks against #Ukraine's capital Kyiv? https://nu.federati.net/url/288007 [www atlanticcouncil org]

I did not even realize that there was unrest in #Kazakhstan until today. Someone said #Russia's spaceport is there, which is why they and #Belarus are expected to help suppress the unrest.
(Though I'd not be surprised if King Vladimir took it as an opportunity to re-integrate some of the old Soviet empire.)

@geniusmusing Too bad that #Kaseya’s managers won’t suffer any consequences for their decisions. If too many customers cancel, they’ll fire the rest of the ungrateful US workforce, keep the cheap and obedient overseas labor in #Belarus, and continue to pay themselves high salaries.

@adcock > I wanted to make the point that just because when a party gets most votes doesn't mean election was fair.
Agreed. In reading about #Belarus last night, I saw that their leader won 80% of the votes in the past two elections, both of which are said to be fraudulent.

#Hockey's international championship will not take place in #Belarus https://nu.federati.net/url/279613 [www theguardian com]
> The international ice hockey federation (IIHF) has said it will not hold this summer’s world championship in Belarus, amid concerns that it would be a propaganda coup for the country’s hockey-mad dictator, Alexander Lukashenko.
> In a statement, the federation said it had made the decision “in the face of the growing safety and security concerns related to both the rising political unrest and Covid-19”. Minsk and the Latvian capital, Riga, were due to co-host the tournament in May and June.

I can’t pay much attention to #Belarus when my own country is being torn apart by short-sighted political extremists, but this is worth reading. https://nu.federati.net/url/274677 [techcrunch com]

So Alexander Lukashenko, the ruler of #Belarus, accused #Russia of sending in mercenaries to destabilize the country. 13 of the mercenaries have been captured. Russia says they were travelling through Belarus to another destination.

I got a chuckle out of seeing people asking where Belarus is. I attended California public schools. At that time, CA schools were 47th out of the 50 states. As a result, in times like this, I expect everyone who did not live in Mississippi to have received a better education than I did.

So, best I can tell from the headlines is that #Belarus had its elections yesterday (their time, I think still today [2020-08-09]) US time. There are some large scale protests because Alexander Lukashenko, who has ruled since 1994, was expected to cheat and cause himself to be re-elected. Or maybe because he claimed a major victory and is believed to have cheated to make it happen.

If you're wondering where #Belarus is, go to a site like Google Maps, type "Belarus" in the query box, then zoom out a little.
