    There is no such thing as democracy unless it's a direct democracy Greek-style. Parliamentary democracy is a joke and I think France and recently, America have proved that.

    It is about time for Small Russians and White Russians to reunite with their mother state, the Federal Republic of Russia.
    Imo, it would be much better for Belarusians to become a part of Europe, but the problem is in current situation in Europe again. Who will invest in Belarus when there are great possibilities in South-East Asia? Ireland was greatest growing economy not so long ago, where is Ireland now? Its still going not so bad, Dell e.g. has recently shifted its facilities from Ireland to Poland, not to Malaysia. But this is rather an exception.

    Seriously though, Belarussians are just Russians who pretend to be different, they'd probably do better as part of Russia than under Lukashenko anyway, although he'd probably become governor of the "republic" of Belarus within Russia sadly.

    Everytime the question is popped up by mr. Putin and his horde, people should send this picture to them and ask if Russia is also willing to pay for the huge legacy left by soviet crap engineering.

    Although they selectedly assume or deny such depending on the subject, as far as we know Russia is internationally accepted as the successor entity of the Soviet Union.

    I believe that every nation's people has the right to decide its own fate. Whether it's good or bad, their will is something we foreigners, including russians, must respect and encourage.

    It's up for belarusians to decide. Aware and under no form of coercion.

    The fact that they have lived under several foreign ruling power throughout time and still kept their nationality is not a proof of lack of legitimacy to be independent, rather a proof of their strength and identity.



    My support goes to Belarusians and their right of self-awareness, self-determination and command of their own fates. Is it not what we all aim for?

    Well this is long overdue. More than half of all Belarussians I have met either work or study in Russia anyways. They all refer to them self's as Russians and occasion follow up with "From Minsk" or another city. Belarus will always be tied together with Russia and it's just stupid to make the people suffer the economic hardships that are going on. Now all we need is a small strip of Polish/Lithuanian land to connect Kaliningrad to the rest of Russia

    I am against the merger. The last thing Europe needs is a stronger Russia. Also, Ukraine in particular has its own language and culture which is different from Russian. Similar? Yes. Compatible? Maybe? But who wants to see these ethnic groups dissapear off the map and see Russia become stronger. Not me!

    Anger: "Why ME? It's not fair?!" (either referring to God, oneself, or Maniot perceived, rightly or wrongly, as "responsible")
    Bargaining: "Just let me stay to post another day Maniot, please."
    Depression: "I'm so sad, why are you picking on me Maniot?"

    You mean that former part of Germany which was transformed from a baltic Riviera into Europe's most polluted black hole in a matter of decades?

    First it was like...


    Then in the same place...


    Mama Russia. Making eastern Europe look like a giant slum since 1917.
