Why would a beautiful country like Belarus want to be absorbed into the gloomy, dystopian nightmare of modern Russia? The Russian nation is a failure with millions living in absolute poverty despite almost unlimited natural resources. Everything Russia produces and sells is garbage. Belarus isn't doing great but it has potential. All that goes out the window if it becomes a part of Russia.
Well, it's not really like the people said they want it... We'll only know if there is a fair referendum, but we already know how that's going to go down.
