The result was rigged, but the local tallies weren't and they did an actual count that shows the opposition lady won big.

The dipshit president has called for talks on Sunday.

Update: These were boycotted by the people asking for another actual election to take place.

Fernando Camacho (a candidate in the election that just can't seem to happen) has said that he will use his guys ("the people" specifically) to disperse the general strikes if the dipshit president won't use the army.

Stay strong Belarus. Hopefully the international community will support them.

Hard to tell who's winning this. For every crowd the police disperses a new bigger crowd appears.

#rememberwhen your dumb ass caped for the coup at the time it took place and then it was widely reported that all those reasons why it needed to happen were rubbish?

This is more of an evergreen statement but it certainly applies here: shut up, dipshit.

I believe Nintex's exact words were "sometimes you just gotta punch the commies in the face" so it's abundantly clear whose side he's on even when it means cancelling elections and murdering indigenous people

Kara · « **Reply #9441 on:** August 12, 2020, 03:24:48 PM »

He also called Evo Morales a "commie" shortly after decrying people for imprecisely calling everyone a Nazi. Sentient styrofoam.

shosta · « **Reply #9442 on:** August 12, 2020, 03:28:07 PM »

I think the worst part of the coup is that a lot of the damage is irreversible. If a new Bolivian government tries to seize the public assets back that this government illegally sold at bargain prices then they would immediately be isolated by the international community. 15 years of painstakingly "doing it the right way" down the drain.

The situation in the Eastern Mediterranean is worrying. Turkey's unilateral decisions on oil exploration are causing tensions. These must stop in order for a peaceful dialogue between neighboring and NATO allies to take place.

I decided to temporarily strengthen the French military presence in the Eastern Mediterranean in the coming days, in cooperation with European partners, including Greece.

Ok, where's the Macron emoji already before he starts a war with the Ottomans

The fact is: the US undeniably attacked Lebanon through Israel.
I don't need to hear the jets, or eyewitnesses detail seeing the planes, or all the first accounts about 2 bombings followed by the last explosive one.
They help, but the media/political response is enough proof.

"Mr. President we need your order to start bombing Lebanon"

"What, why do you want to bomb Lesbians again?"

The weird thing though, the Belarusian special forces seem to think that the opposition leader was actually controlled by Russia to take over Belarus.

Great news from Belarus, 2000 prisoners have been released in an effort to stop the protests. Police has pretty much disappeared from the streets after a day of protests and strikes.
Even miners and factory workers who are the base of Lukashenko's supporters joined the protests and some former and current members of the government.
