Lukashenko is problematic. On one hand, we would like to see democratic Belarus, so we should oppose him. On the other hand, we can’t let Putin control Belarus because that will still result in a dictatorship, either through a pawn or through annexing Belarus. And that one will be permanent, so you can’t count on Lukashenko’s limited lifespan. Thus it seems that we should be helping Lukashenko gain as much independence from Russia as possible.
