Draw It Mild

Lukashenka is not a political problem, but a hygienic one.

I am willing to bet that if Lukashenka had met, for example, Nelson Mandela, he would have said: "Well, I spent thirty years in prison as well." Or "my grandmother struggled all her life with apartheid in Africa". Or, at worst, "my father who died in the war was also a black man."

He wants everyone to like him! And he suffers from not having it. All bedtime stories are caused by a desperate desire to at least induce someone's good feelings. Poor, poor thing. Everyone seems like scared of him and obeys his stupid orders and ruins the reputation, they do not want to be friends with him. Even his subordinates.

We have already heard that his father died in the war, Skaryna worked in St. Petersburg, and under Hitler Germany reached the highest point of the formation of the German order. Passage about his father-hero was addressed to veterans to become the son of the regiment. He sent Skaryna to St. Petersburg, and not to Torzhok, because Putin comes from St. Petersburg. According to his modest opinion, Putin would like it. He told journalists about Hitler being absolutely confident that all Germans were fascists, and they would be glad to hear it.

Yesterday, he told a new story for everyone: it turns out that the police watched him at school. He was afraid of a woman, the captain of the police. And although it is clear that it was not true, he needed to say it. He hoped to induce someone's good feelings and pretend the con to get socially closer to people. And the best way to do it is to tell about his hooligan past. Relatives of cons should feel unity, as well as parents of schoolchildren. The latter should feel it more: of course, children who have been connected to the Internet since birth are wayward, disobedient, skeptical and question everything. Parents are concerned and even the ruler himself says to them: "Do not worry, I did the same, the police were chasing after me when I was young. From bad to worse: to simplify the curricula, to study at universities not more than three years. It addresses children - "a teacher fell ill, no test will be held!" They still do not have good feelings towards him. He flirts, winks, giggles, declares dress code a swear word, tells jokes (more correctly, he thinks he jokes), and still no one wants to be friends with him, still they even prefer to stay away.

I have no doubt that when Lukashenka met Stephen Sigal, he probably told him how he had been practicing martial arts in his village since childhood and accidentally knocked out Bruce Lee. When meeting with Silvio Berlusconi who adores "bunga bunga" and juvenile prostitutes listened to those stories. The deceased Muammar, who once made a tent in Zaslaul, probably heard that it was the Belarusian land that gave the world the first shahids. But for some reason none of survivors returned to him just to be friends.

No one likes Lukashenka, no matter what he does for it. There are some people who whatever they do, whatever they say, the reaction is the same - "he is creepy". No matter how long a fool pretends to be a clever one, anti-Semite -a Jew, a prison guard - a former con, it will not work. One needs to know his place and boundaries.

Only when Lukashenka once said that freshmen should be dipped into shit, he got closer to true himself. Because the only feeling his stories provoke is disgust. The desire to wash hands. To wash dirt away. Finally, I got it: Lukashenka is not the political problem of the Belarusian people. He is a hygienic problem. Because no one wants to be friends with him, even his head.
