хопіць ужо гэтую копіпасту пра "адрываньне Лукашэнкі" ўсюды ляпаць. Адна і тая ж думка, паўтораная сто разоў, не зробіцца ад таго ў сто разоў разумнейшай.
Ніякага адрывання ад імперыі лука не дапусціць, ён сваё месца на мяжы між усходам і захадам выбудоўваў дзесяцігоддзямі. Але яму выгодна, каб вы зачароўваліся прыдуманай "перспектывай адрыву" і не заміналі рабіць гешэфт.
