We're in the loop here, b/c from lukashenko's (as well as putin's, btw) point of view, *exactly the same* rules applies to journalists.

Which means that either you have to review you thoughts and change them, or you are fine with killing journalists and any other dissidents (who obviously "broke the law, with quite serious consequences for their country and individual soldiers"). You just can't bet on two sides of a coin.

Still with the BS arguments. There is a world of difference between a justice system like in the US and the one in Belarus.

If you can't see that, how can you ever defend democracy?

But you probably don't ever need to, because the US system is already quite trustworthy (despite a lot of faults) and on average does quite well.
