Dear Traitors, Your Time Is Up

Makei found himself in the hot seat last night.

The old KGB Minister finally reacted to the accusations of surrendering the country's sovereignty. They are still afraid of being held responsible for treason. Therefore, cagey Makei, wriggling, tells journalists that so far the conversation has been about unifying the tax code and "harmonizing agricultural and industrial policies". And the single currency will be there someday, not now. And they say they have refused to create supranational bodies so far. Or maybe they have not refused. It is not clear.

All of this phrasemongering, weasel words are needed because they see that the Belarusians do not want to be absorbed and are ready to fight it. This is why they try to distract attention by declaring about the "not needed base" and giving interviews about the "economic character" of integration.

But, dear traitors, we cannot be fooled. Your time is up. It is time for you to crawl away from the country's government and wait there to see your fate. The 25 years of dictatorship and the collapse of the state are your merit. Starting with Lukashenka and ending with his last accomplices. You all are to be replaced. Even your former supporters no longer have trust in you. So resign yourself. Tomorrow it may be too late.
