The aged dictator took offense halfway around the world.
If the Google Lens function in our smartphones enabled auto-translation from the language of propaganda to the language of human beings, the text of announcements in Belarusian stores about the cessation of beer sales from "unfriendly countries" would play with completely different colors.
You point the camera at one of the bright leaflets and you see actually a sincere confession: "In fact, unfriendly for Belarusians are we - those who seized power in the country and keep it on fear and bayonets, at the cost of your future.
Till recently, Australia, New Zealand and other Canadians did not even remember about Belarus, if they even guessed about the existence of such a country. But we have tried very hard to change the situation. However, there is a nuance.
What about Australia! Even Hungary and Slovakia are on this list, even though we have a friendship with Orban and Fitzo. And Austria, with whom we have been related for many years.
And, by the way, it's not just beer. We stole big sports from you, replacing world hockey with a circus on ice. And that is why you no longer have cosmetics from Nivea, and will not soon appear on the highways new Škoda".
The truth is that half the world was offended by the elderly ruler - for the fact that without understanding accepted his decision to roll his own country in asphalt to hold on to power. That they condemned the seizure of someone else's airplane and other actions far from friendly: from the migration crisis to complicity in a war of aggression.
And ordinary Belarusians have to pay for it.
