Basta: All These Strange Phrases Mean One Thing: Dictator's End Is Close

Fake appeals won't help anymore.

The dictator has played hard to get today before bargaining with Putin, for which he hopes. All these "I'm not a kid", "it won't be easy" mean only one thing: the end of the dictator is close, the Basta telegram channel writes.

Neither false appeals to the people, nor false words about independence will help. Today's speech is nothing more than an attempt to sell the country at a higher price.

And he does not hide it. Oil, gas, Russia's outpost in the west - that was the main message.

He, who has been selling Belarus for 25 years, will never become its defender. We, the people, need independence. Its protection is our problem and we must solve it.
