Cancel Culture: the Lukashenko edition
May. 5th, 2022 05:02 pmWell, Lukashenko has decided to cancel Russia's war on Ukraine because (I think) if the EU oil embargo goes into effect Belarus becomes useless both for Russia and the EU. Given that the auto transit through Belarus is also practically dead, the country becomes a landlocked island without any meaningful revenue to sustain its economy. Reminds me of prosperous Flemish Brabant that declined rapidly after the war with the Netherlands in the 17th(?) century.
