Some highlights from Lukashenko’s interview with the pro-Kremlin propagandists (THREAD /5):
1.Lukashenko told that if falls Belarus than Russia is to follow. That points to the fact that he deliberately externalizes the risks he assesses for the existing Belarusian regime to bring Russia into the game of his survival.
2.A comparison with the Ukrainian oligarchs is made in the pursuit for a moral approbation. He portrays himself as being “guilty” for wanting to protect the status quo, an imaginary “paradibut not for stealing from people like the politicians in the neighborhood.
3.Lukashenko refers to Putin with respect calling him his “elder friend” and “elder brother”. Such warm attitude is understandable. Putin is the only international leader that is openly intervening in Belarus in many ways.
4.During the interview, Lukashenko has touched upon some spiritual aspects. He is not really known for being a religious person. But in this interview he several times mentions God. He repeatedly illustrated him as the savior of the nation/system.

The Russian church replaced the leader of the Belarusian Orthodox Church, Metropolitan Pavel. Is this a request of Lukashenko or something else? Here are my findings. THREAD: (1/8)
1. Some time ago, the Metropolitan Pavel implored Lukashenko’s regime to stop the violence. news.tut.by/society/696638…
2. Over the last 10 days, the church wasn’t really present in the political and public debates in #Belarus. The protesters didn’t ask the church to join them, neither the regime interacted openly with the church.

There are suspicions that the explosions in #Beirut are linked to 2.750 tons of Amonium Nitrates, shipped in bulk, by a vessel under #Moldovan flag, from Batumi (#Georgia) on the way to Africa, back in 2013 (1/4).
2/ Due to technical and then security issues, the content of the cargo was stored in the warehouses of the port of Beirut. Apparently, the welding work could be the cause of the explosion. Image
3/This case provides a clear example when corruption and organized crime involving some countries (Moldova, Georgia) can have transnational security consequences.
