>Belorussian services were completely outmatched, and the protests were almost successful in making him pull a Yanukovich (his sons had already fled at the time, IIRC). What ultimately tipped the scale were the thousands of Rosgvardia and FSB agents rushed by monke to take over anti-protest activities.
This. His son was flying out in bodyarmour clutchig a rifle. He was propper up by the kremlin coming in and running a sweep and roundup for any and all key figures in dissent. The GRU really are experts in putting down revolutions agsinnt dictataors. Assas would have been gone years ago if they had not been called in to help.
Ukranians wanted to be in the EU for fairly good and obvious reasons, freedome to travel, free attandence in things like universities in Europe, farmers getting to participate in the EU commmon agri policy and market, freedom to work in other EU states and send money back instead of living in a stale grey corrupt impoverished dystopian FSB shihole like belarus. Ukranians could see how much the EU had pulled the rest of eastern Europe out of the shit state the USSR had left it in and wanted to join that instead of being belarus 2.0 under Putin. Putins invasion of Crimea actually refects that what had being goinng on previously was a soft annexation and if he could nto get that then he would use violence to actieve the same goal. Why? Because he thinks he's a Tsar and wants a warm sea port and he wanted a port in Syria too. A squalid little dicatorship run by the left over dregs of the kgb that saw themselves as a great world power when they could not even produce a decent car or maintain a democracy for more than a decade without shooting each other.
