Per a Russian I worked with, Belarus should never have left Russia. Probably considered more Russia proper than Crimea.
Good luck Belarus. I hope the autocrat that ends up ruling you is kind and just. Go people power! *chortle*
In one case, activists recorded video of a poll worker escaping the back of a polling station on a ladder while clutching bags of what the activists claim are excess ballots.

So, hooray, Belarus is probaly still nominally independent! Most of the green men are domestically sourced. Organic, free range, Minsk riot police/ special military units, not imported Russian factory farmed green men, this is an important distinction.
*Poor gits thought NATO's assurance was worth a damn. On the other hand, there is a Lithuanian armory churning out 62 gr 5.56.
