I mean you have a whole section for your unnecessary boasts here:

Is it not enough for you?? Here it's off topic and rather a sly one.

Anyway, Putin likes Armenia, it's Russia's one true ally in the South Caucasus, and I'm sure you know that. Here, take a look at this: Russia's Putin and Armenia's Pashinyan smiling and shaking hands.

Honestly, I'm not surprised you're pleased with favors of criminals.

And, please enjoy our marching bands, they come to Moscow to entertain Russians.

Why do the march there? To distract locals from the problems Pusin and his friends are making?

But he asked why people here tend to oppose democracies.

Do you see the violence that people receive? Even women? Is not even Russia, Putin is chill compared with that fucked up guy, he beats everyone because they... protest? The protests are not even that violent like in Ukraine.

Which should point where the globalists really sit.

I've already said elsewhere before that the interests of the opposition (both pro-EU and pro-Kremlin), EU and Russia have aligned.
This is the more obvious when one considers that the Nexta channel with 1.5m subscribers, and where messages are seen by about 800k people within 5 min at most, is hosted on Telegram.
Russia would have found ways to shut it down a long time ago, if it wanted to preserve Lukashenko's regime.
They hope to put a better puppet in his place, in order to continue the integration effort into the Union State. Lukashenko was hesitant to continue with this, but also didn't want to open up too much to the West.
The pro-EU opposition hopes to have a government that will make them drift away from Russia.

Those who criticizes western ''free elections'' and ''free speeches''.... should keep this in minds.

Wait, but who controls Telegram? I know little about this software.

Chaos erupts following an allegedly rigged election in Belarus. Alexander Lukashenko has been president since 1994. And many suspect his victory over opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanouskaya was fake. Protests have erupted in Minsk and are being cracked down on. How will the US respond?

Why you point out violence against women specifically?

Voilence against men and women makes no difference in a time where women call for equality, they deserve to be treated equal even in bad aspects.

Wow! I thought we were friends! And, some very long time ago, you sent me a private message complaining about a time when I down-voted something from you. By the way, you conveniently ignored the many times I upvoted your comments. Well, here's another one then, since you're so hostile.

Another thing: It's very relevant what I said! I was replying to Lawspeaker, and he understood right away; but, you seem to have a xenophobic problem against Armenians, which I didn't notice much in the past. My point was that Armenians peacefully transformed their government, and it'd be nice to see that happen in Belarus.
