Most people haven't fled. I spent some time in Minsk, Gomel and a few other places.
It's very 50/50 in terms of age, just like any country.
They are also terrified of uttering a word about anything in public, but the minute you sre behind closed doors, they are clearly anti Russia, anti Putin, anti Luka etc 
Right behind the FSB building in Minsk is prison with the 2020 protestors still inside (apparently).
Also, Belarus citizens are very critical of Belarusians who ingest Russian news.
Edit: to be clear, during the 2020 protests, we saw it was police / army vs the people. But for some reason, Belarusians have a belief that if they are forced into a war, the army will turn on Luka almost instantly.
Aren’t we a little bit past that point now? >

IF a request like this was signed it would likely be for 1 of 2 reasons
1: Stop Russia from being strengthed during the coming rumored offensive
2: Give Belarus a final chance to reintegrate into the larger European sphere, as assisting Russia with its troops in Ukraine would be the final death knell. Belarus as a country would simply cease to exist as far as the European Markets and Governments would see it.
Edit: I do am have stupid. Knell* >

3) sign it, then claim Ukraine broke it thus giving them an excuse to join the Russian effort further.
This agreement isn't worth anything with Lukashenko and Putin still in play. >

4) He knows the Belarusian military would immediately enact a coup and remove him so signing it is a way to pretend he has power. >

I hear there.  The vast majority of their pop is against attacking Ukraine >

One of those most fascinating polling points of the Ukrainian conflict is that fact that upwards of 80% of Russians fully support the conflict whereas upwards of 80-90% of Belarusians oppose the conflict. 
We tend to lump them together but Belarus and Russia are two fundamentally different countries. >

Spent last few months in Belarus.
Reddit has no idea how anti Luka and Russia they are. >

Interesting. Did you see a lot of people under the age of 40 there? Really curious how many have fled versus stayed.
