The Revolution is dead, long live the Dictator !
The Belarussian people were too weak, they should have killed the police and Lukahitler while they had the chance ...
Only someone who has never faced the army or the kind of anti-riot police that exists in countries like Belarus (Or Chile...) could say this. Is not as easy as saying "Protester outnumber them". You think that citizens are going to suddenly turn into Rambos / suicide jihadists and just throw themselves at guys shooting them rubber bullets, tear gas, and water canons?.
Do you know how it works? They come from all the streets near the big concentration, then star pushing from one front and start shooting high-pressure water mixed with pepper gas + tear gas at you (and I hope you never experience how
that feels). If people still don't run then they start shooting. And then the "safety in the numbers" works against you because you have a mass stampede. But they don't want to just disperse people, noo. They corner you, throwing tear gas at all the streets you could use to run so you are boxed in an area while the vehicles that throw tear gas and the water canons continue to shoot things at everyone in sight and you can only hide behind some random entrance or door. And when all of that is over you just can walk beside the soldiers and the police and they won't even arrest you because what they want is to make you suffer so you never protest again.
That's how it worked in Chile. Do you think people didn't
want to reach the presidential palace? Congress? I'm sorry, you honestly just don't have any idea of what you are talking about. I'm sure someone like Lukashenko must be well versed in the arts of repression.
