Consider the source, but there have been reports that the Belarusian military is starting to object en masse to being deployed to Ukraine. https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/3437326-belarus-military-refuse-to-fight-against-ukraine.html Plus, we're starting to hear about "draft dodgers" from Russia fleeing to Turkey, Germany, and Japan (among other countries) to avoid conscription, which is already happening in Russia. 1 Link to comment

But for how long can he do that when the death toll keeps piling up and he can no longer suppress the true level of that carnage from his people is what I was getting at? I don't know the answer but with each passing day he's getting closer to getting the Ceausescu treatment. Or at least we can hope. Link to comment
