What does "being against us imperialism" even mean anymore? you're not ok with it when it happens or you actually fight against it happening? seems like a big difference to me.
I mean I guess that question would make sense if I believed it was all just being engineered by the US. (I don't).
Fun fact, all the major unions have been going on strike there. I don't think it's hard to believe people are genuinely pissed off their "president" rigged yet another election and had a disastrous handling of the coronavirus on top of that.
I dont doubt it at all, what i do doubt is the very obvious ties the opposition has to western backed influences and how there's no real left opposition. I think the strikes have also been over emphasized and it was never as large scale as really reported. I'm not sure how overthrowing Lukashenko would result in anything other than a western backed government stepping in. I'm seeing some very obvious parallels with Bolivia here, tho there doesnt seem to be the same sort of large leftist movement in Belarus to at least oppose them. I mean it is what it is at the end of the day I guess.
I don't really see any parallels. Morales was actually elected to a third term (even if running for that term was pretty stupid of him). This guy won one genuine election over 25 years ago.
