Just in order for you to understand the level of Russian imperialism

Cremlin “journalist” and a high-scale propagandist Dmitry Kiselev in his resent broadcast said that “if Belarus is going to tear down the alliance with Russia, there will be no Belarus anymore”.
 
And, not surprisingly, in Russia such a saying is not even newsworthy. Because it totally fits into colonial narrative, according to which Putin has a moral right to start wars on a postsoviet area just to keep minor states tied to “mother-Russia”.
