<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 2269946, member: 12789&quot;]I will disagree to a point, that is that their leader has managed to pull off what the various leaders of Ukraine have not been able to - to ride the high middle ground betwixt two competing power bases and play off of both.&nbsp; Their leader has flirted with union with Russia, all the while been a bridge to Europe for contraband trade betwixt both Europe and Russia.&nbsp; Belarus seemingly demonstrates tacit support of Ukraine in it&#039;s struggle with Russia but negotiates with both with the so called Minsk agreements and really doesn&#039;t care for the growth of democracy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Where that ties in economically is this, the seemingly moribund Belarusian economy is in something resembling a renaissance and the currency has stabilized.&nbsp; Of course that is all that won&#039;t last, either the current conflicts will blow into a war or be subsumed by the conflicts building in the Middle East.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
