      “Lead a country” does not mean “win free and fair elections”

      For Belarus, Lukashenko is the only President it ever had and super Trumpy-authoritarian. USSR broke up, he took Belarus. Since 2000 it’s basically been part of Russia (see Union State )

      Kazakhstan is basically the same, except there were like 2 Presidents before the current one (Tokayev). Again, all Trumpy-authoritarian, just lording over a small economy & military instead of the world’s largest.

      This is literally the breakdown of the world order.

      For the love of God, Europe/Canada/Australia/Japan get a spine and CUT USA OUT!

      For the love of country, will the fucking Congress IMPEACH THIS ASSHAT BEFORE HE COMPLETELY WASTES OUR INHERITANCE?!?!?

      Probably because the $1b buy in had a personal $100m cash back program.
