Another thread where Russian sympathizers claim bordering territories have always been rightfully theirs or that they are the same people, typical cheap historical revisionism easily debunked by opening a book. Regrettably, in the case of Belarus, Russification is already well advanced, almost irreversible and people are apathetic and don't care about preserving their culture or language for the most part, which is in danger of extinction within their own country. Lukashenko basically pimps the entire nation to Russia, in exchange for military and financial support. He would be the first to annex Belarus to Russia as long as he had a chance of being a presidential candidate or other key position in the Russian Federation, so the country is doomed to be a perpetual client-state or to be annexed in the future.
The strangest thing is that some European nationalists\conservatives on the forum see Lukashenko as an ideal figure but don't realize that his biggest enemy are actual patriotic\nationalist Belarusians, it's absolutely in his interest that the Belarusian language dies out for good along with the native culture that is discriminated against and seen as backward within their own territory.
