Geopolitics are not at the root of the current unrest.
It's just that Lukashenka built himself an army of strongmen that have nothing to loose and a servile command state. Then, expectedly, he aged and his physical and mental health deteriorated to the point that
1. Lukashenka made enemies with Russia and Putin personally.
2. Over the last few months, he managed to loose all the remaining support base he had.
3. On August, 3 he acknowledged personally ordering killings.
Here are some of the nastier facts about him:
1. He isolated his first wife, the mother if his two kids and his sex toy, the mother of his third kid. They could not leave their houses for years.
2. Aged 65, he sleeps with young girls and brags about it.
It's no surprise that any united opposition candidate would win the election.
But Belarusians had a lucky chance to have the best ever candidate.
The world completely missed out a wonderful election campaign in Belarus by three beautiful ladies that took on the leadership after their men were jailed or ran away. They were calling themselves Love, Might, Win. The lead opposition candidate, the Might of the trio emerged as the nation leader literally in a matter of weeks. Her speeches were simple, peaceful and straight to the point. She did not call people into streets. Still, every night, over 100,000 people confront the police and the army for her.
