"Dialogue Was Engaged In An Uncomfortable And Humiliating Form For Lukashenko"

You can see this even from state TV.

On Thursday, the expiring guarantor released 250 hostages. And not just released, but left 235 in the country. Although a couple of months ago he explained that if he left the released hostages in the country, stability might not tolerate it.

Some people were justifying their humanism in front of their TV sets on Friday. Because the witnesses of stability, as I understand it, are worried. Especially those in the security forces. After all, if their humanism goes too far, they will have to answer for individual excesses on the ground.

The expiring guarantor cannot answer for anything. He can only explain his greatness.

It would have been better if he had just kept silent this time. Then it would be possible to keep the illusion of an equal and mutually respectful dialog with the Americans. At least on TV. But even from the TV it is clear that they engaged in dialog in an uncomfortable and in some places humiliating form for the guarantor.

I mean, someone, of course, told how he and Cole were dealing with the Iranian settlement and the redistribution of geopolitical powers between Russia, China and Europe. But in the end, instead of that he had to humanize Lithuanian trucks.

The trucks that someone took hostage four months ago in order to get in return either a dialog with Lithuania at the highest diplomatic level or a ransom. In the extreme case he thought to get these very trucks.

And now it turns out that there will be neither dialog, nor contributions with confiscations. And the trucks will have to be released in a humiliatingly hasty manner. As someone admitted to their TVs, "That's a decision I have until Monday to make."

I mean, as I understand it, someone started explaining to Cole about mutually respectful dialog, and Cole, smiling a special lawyer's smile said: "Sure. You have three days." And I suspect that even the representative of Belarus in the UN could not translate it delicately.

I also had to explain about the balloons flying to Lithuania. For this purpose, General Kubrakov had found some bandits in advance, who were supposed to pretend that it was nothing, a mundane matter - ordinary smuggling.

I had to promise that no one has supplied missiles to Iran, does not supply them and will not supply them. Because, as he himself admitted, if you supply weapons to a participant in a war, you become an accomplice.

That is, you can now refer to the complicity of the expiring guarantor in the war against Ukraine to the expiring guarantor himself.

But someone did win one big diplomatic victory. The Americans told him to buy their liquefied natural gas, and Some replied that he didn't have that kind of money. "They laughed" and never offered to buy their liquefied gas again.

Somebody later bragged to TV: "I don't behave like the Europeans. They told me to buy American - that's it, we buy it". That is, you can immediately see a proud, independent guarantor. But you can't see a proud and independent guarantor anywhere else.

And you remember that I kept saying that some people shouldn't delay. That you should take the deal while it's still being offered. Because then nothing will be offered and nothing will be given.

And now what? The "big deal" isn't as big a deal now as it used to be. Because they used to talk about trading everyone for everything, and some people still had doubts. And now Cole says that for the release of all hostages the Americans are ready to lift 80 percent of their sanctions.

And, first of all, 20 percent of sanctions remain, and, secondly, no one is even thinking about European sanctions.

And instead, Cole talked about the fact that by releasing hostages, you can't recruit new ones. And he'd never let anything like that happen before. And now, it turns out, he's taken a swing at the mainstay of stability. Because if stability cannot take hostages, then what will it rely on?

So the witnesses of stability, especially the security forces, have something to worry about. No matter how much someone promises that he will not allow them the twentieth year. He kept promising that in the twentieth year, too.
