Lukashenko warns Belarus not for sale

Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko, faced with a currency crisis, has angrily warned key creditor Russia to keep its hands off state assets.




The central bank took an axe to the Belarus rouble this week, devaluing it by 56 percent in an attempt to control the current account deficit, and Russia has been seeking to buy assets in return for a two billion euro emergency loan.

most stupid translation ever

@RunsWitGuns Yes because there is unlimited amount of credit for governments to borrow. The rating agencies are behind the curve all the time. They normally downgrade countries well after they are bankrupt and in way too much debt. Nothing in life is free. No matter how hard your government tries to sell you the story of a free lunch.

Lukashenko is the best. He shows to usa "кузькину мать" of Hrushiov

My resect to this great man. Lukashenko resistence! The only decent dictator in the world at the moment. The only one that has the guts to face the war criminals and fascism from the West. GO ON YOU BIG BASTARD!

Lukashenko, commonly known as the ‘Last Dictator in Europe’ has held on to power in Belarus for too long through fraudulent and unfair elections, intimidation, threats and violence.

Many of the victims are still being detained and remain at risk, as are many other citizens of Belarus.

@tontsa911 I wouldn't say a New World Order, but I believe there is an effort by the West to take down countries which aren't friendly to them.

The Arab Spring was generated by people out of genuine discontent, but the West has been supporting or helping oppress it in certain countries depending on their interests. Look how they put up a no fly zone in Libya and then sell arms to Bahrain and tear gas to Egypt. America supports "freedom" wherever it is expedient and dictatorships when it isn't.

@Benad361 You have a good point. I think I have started to believe NWO is real.

@tontsa911 They tried that once = failed. He seems to want to stay in power indefinitely. However, what is better - a home-grown leadership (albeit dictatorial) or enslavement by the IMF, World Bank, and all the poverty it causes?

They call Belarus the "last dictatorship" in Europe, but there are others. The media can be very one-sided.
