    Any leader who has to sign legislation stating they have lifelong immunity from prosecution, probably needs to be prosecuted for the rest of their long life.

      Sure! You just think it. Like how he unclassified all those documents. With His Mind.

      He claims it was already done… let’s see how that plays out.

      Also your opponent might just forego pretence and summarily execute you when they catch you or claim themself president and be immune to consequences and imprison you anyway.

        Last time I checked, Hunter Biden isn’t the President, so why would we care what he thinks?

    Sounds like a sign of weakness, tbh.

    He’s been in power for a very long time and hasn’t needed this before.

    And that’s how assassination becomes a national hobby.

    I mean there was this old Italian guy that tried that a few thousand years ago. I can’t remember how it ended.

      With his adopted son as dictator. Not the best example.

        He was also recognized as a god by the Roman state after his death as a stern lesson to all those aspiring dictators out there.

    That sounds good and all on paper, but it’s really only as binding as the people that come in after him are willing to let it be. I can imagine a law being passed later on just repealing this law and he’s right back to square one, assuming he doesn’t just hold onto power until he dies and/or Russia doesn’t annex Belarus.

        I mean, this is the guy whose dream job is Russian Colonel.

        Head of state of a theoretically sovereign nation, appears to genuinely aspire to… Being a colonel. One step above what his rank used to be.

      Also: when the law is unjust, the just break the law.

      I see lynch mobs in his future. Probably not soon, but eventually.

    Oh well in that case I grant myself immunity as well from any future prosecution.

    He knows he’s fucked up and that the writing is on the wall for him. Putin is on borrowed time and so is he.

    He won’t be prosecuted in court anyway. It’s probably going to be a trial of the ratatatat-tat style like Ceaucescu’s. All this does is show how pathetic Lukashenko really is.
