Situation: Belarus - The Catch 22
This morning various news wires and networks had reported the overwhelming victory in Belarus in the elections; the victory wasn't for democracy though, it was a tyrant's victory by way of a rigged election. One pole however surmises that the victory margin for the current and still "President" of the country was much less than reported, saying that such margins were inflated to twice their actual size, meaning that the tyrant that currently rules the country was not able to get the 50% vote needed to actually win the contest.
So what will the world do about such a situation? It is within this question that the Catch 22 becomes apparent because for the West and the rest of the world to do something, it would need to be jarred into action by massive bloodshed (and many world die). However, those in power aren't stupid and know if that bloodshed comes and the United States and other countires are spurred into action then trouble will be at their doorstep. So the bloodshed needed to spur action will never come, and the world will do little to nothing about the last Soviet era dictatorship in Eroupe.
Something must be done, what is it - no one knows, yet...
