So as I have been distracted from the Internet for a few days, This is what I can give a generalization of Belorussian life, that I have seen.
For my videos that was a 3 parter.
Price Controls
Healthcare Belarus Style!
To simply life in Eastern Europe as it is true from Poland throughout Russia. Everyone like anyone else plans stuff around the weather. Keep in mind when it rains everyone runs inside when its cold, everyone is outside. When its hot everyone is out. As well as High heels skirts and everything else.
This is a typical belorussians life stay inside or stay outside. Within context There is not much to do in Belarus since there is no tourism industry. (Anyone smell money to be made in 10 years?)
The other is no one has time for anyone. You could say it’s the same in the usa but its not. Most Belorussians get Bachelors degrees to Doctorates in economics, teaching, and science. Women do not go for nursing degrees, or managing positions. or the coveted house wife. The other is there is a reversed feminism here. Girls, dress to the 9’s to be women enough said. A lot of girls over here think it’s absolutely disgusting that an American girl would want to be just a housewife, or want everything to be equal between men, and women. Again it’s the mentality here.
Very old fashioned, very circa 1930’s-1950’s style women roles.
Belarus is ways is the Mexico of the USA. Every Belorussian works in Russia.
The funniest stories I have been told here is that the country is being supported by the collective farming. Besides the Black Market and Illegal Arms trafficking deals. This is how Belarus survives by being a proxy, and the Black Market of the world.
From my experience, the Black Market often called just the “Market” is everywhere in Belarus. Every Russian could be apart of it via the Russian Mafia or other.
Presently, I can use US dollars to buy anything I want in Belarus. In exchange I get the difference between Belorussian Rubles.
1 USD = 9,000 Belorussian Rubles
The currency in many ways has completely fallen apart.
Obama is expected to be in Poland I hear which he shall try to solve (i laugh at this) The problems facing Belarus.
I really believe I know more then our president. By living here.

What do I know? Heres a short list.
Economic Sanctions do not work fully ( I can’t get money from a Belorussian Bank But I can from a RUSSIAN one)
Everyone in Belarus has either EU bank accounts or Russian Bank accounts. If they have Belorussian ones, it’s cause they don’t travel.
2: I can literally get anything from Belarus. As a friend told me. All he has to do is call friends up. They go to the EU and steal kidnap whoever or whatever it is. Then bring it back to where? Belarus! Then sell it or exchange it. Keep in mind Sex Trafficking, and Anti Women crimes are rampant here. If you are in the EU you are safe as a woman, go outside the EU it is the wild west. Of any degree
3: If you are black, muslim, non white in any form you will never succeed in Russia or Eastern Europe Professionally, yes you can sell iphones and electronics. Though that is about it Or OIL!
4: In Eastern Europe there is a lot of anti Russian sentiment. Due to historical reasons. Within the Baltics, and Moldova, it is extremely hard to live as a Russian you are deemed a non citizen.
Keep in mind Western Europeans don’t care for Russians either.
5: If you are an American you get 2 reactions from an Eastern European/Russian. First they adore you. 2nd Politics gets brought up 3rd I want to go to America
6: Everyone that sees my NRA membership card likes it. One symbolically they want the right to own guns for themselves. The other I have been told it’s the single greatest freedom, that the USA should NEVER lose.

I knew about Belarus because I deal with politics and Geography besides the fact I like history. LOL honestly with obama in charge he would do as little as he can to belarus
If bush was still around which he cant be due to term limits. He would have been much more likely to do things about Belarus

Obama hasnt done a thing and i doubt he will. The best example is Bill Clinton you saw how involved he got with things
If he does it would be having the EU due the work as a proxy. Which the EU in my opinion is a bunch of lazy bureaucratic minds. That think the EU is soooo much better lol
Though i work in politics keep in mind so thats my point of view. Though i personally think i can understand more by being in Belarus then Obama does by reading a paper report

Aliaksandr Harbunou

he is really Lt.Col. and I feel many difficulties for this knowledge
and that guy always safe my ass many times when I participate in opposite actions
And I keep info about every my step in secret of him, because they are bulls who don’t value a life
he asking me for help time to time (in PC , he just not educated in IT)
and he tells me many stories about their work
now he invites me to drink beer but I hate beer. because best beer only in Prague
I afraid meetings with him, but today he want to meets with his family also. His children love me, I install them games on PC
So anyway, I never ask him for great help, but I hope if we’ll need, then we can ask that help from him
I even don’t imaging which help I can need from KGB
only release from prison (may be)
pah-pah-pah

So, I guess that meeting in 19.00 will be last with him or not. I don’t know, but I think he must ready to go from Belarus. After changings here will be cleanings and judges
