As long as China ahs Xi Jinping, and Russia has Vlad, strongmen around the world will do these things because they know there will be no consequences.
Unless international flights are stopped into Minsk (which of course means people will fly through Moscow) this will have all the repercussions of the Kashogi murder.

Indeed, we've also got a bit of a fight with Lukashenko now. He has kicked out all Latvian diplomats and naturally we reciprocated with the same. Latest is that EU will forbid flying over Belarus and their companies flying to EU.

Re: World News Random, Random
This is more of a human story, but connected to Belarus situation. About a young doctor who fled recently from Minsk to Riga. The article is in Belorussian, but google translate works very well.

Re: World News Random, Random
These days there is a lot more direct oppression in Belarus than before the elections. Previously I would have said it's more about stagnation. A country which never woke up from USSR. Not a place for young people with some ambition, but no connections with the ruling class.

Re: World News Random, Random
There are two clips up today of Dominic Cummings. Both are cause for eyebrow raising. This is the first one.

Re: World News Random, Random
Here is the second one that I saw earlier. It answers a question we raised in the Style and Entertainment thread about why anyone would consider being intimate with someone like Boris Johnson.
Apparently there are more clips but they get into the weeds of British politics.

Dominic Cummings was BoJo's hatchet man at No.10, but when he got the sack he was always going to dish the dirt to anyone who would listen.
And on any comments pertaining to COVID, it's best DC stay mum. He personally flouted restrictions and saw no sanction. Not sure where he stands on COVID concern any more than his former boss.
