      US propaganda outlet Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty (a CIA cutout that was originally called Radio Liberation from Bolshevism) is churning out constant coverage of Belarus -- of course acting as a huge megaphone for the neoliberal oppositionhttps://twitter.com/RFERL/status/1292564229673943040 …

      A lot of pro-imperialist NATO lackeys attacked me for pointing out that the US and Western European governments have obviously been trying to orchestrate a "color revolution" in Belarus. Well here is Obama's former top advisor stating it openly:https://twitter.com/brhodes/status/1293037264017080320 …

      Americans have to recognize that the fight against Lukashenko in Belarus is our fight. He is part of the same trend that has ravaged the US, Russia, Turkey, Hungary, Hong Kong, Brazil, Israel, Egypt, the Philippines, Zimbabwe, and others. We need sustained solidarity in response

      The crackdown following elections in Belarus is unacceptable. If true that opposition candidate Tikhanovskaya was forced to flee the country, Lukashenko should ask her to return & promise publicly that she will not face any reprisals or investigations https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/11/europe/belarus-opposition-leader-flees-intl …

      In case it wasn't already clear, the blog of the US government's regime-change arm the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a CIA cutout created by Reagan, is hoping that "Belarus is reminiscent of Ukraine during the Orange Revolution and Maidan"https://www.demdigest.org/belarus-reminiscent-of-ukraines-maidan-or-not-even-close/ …

          This US government-funded "color revolution" propagandist in Belarus is lying.

          The coup attempt in Belarus continues to follow the textbook strategy to a T: If they can't successfully overthrow the government in a "color revolution," the US & EU are preparing to impose suffocating sanctions to destroy the economy, like in Iran, etc.https://www.ft.com/content/b8bb58b8-9bf1-47e1-8383-78f1cb9c83e1 …

          It's also not a coincidence that this Western-backed coup attempt is coming after Belarus was boosting its relations with Venezuela. Belarus strongly opposed the US blockade and coup attempt with Guaidó and has been collaborating more closely with Caracas https://www.belarus.by/en/government/events/belarus-interested-in-advancing-productive-cooperation-with-venezuela_i_0000100921.html …pic.twitter.com/IzJXgCU7aD
