Foreign Ministry of Belarus offered the Americans to reduce the staff of the embassy in Minsk

August 11 2021 76

Official Minsk does not see any sense in the presence of a significant number of American diplomats on the territory of Belarus, therefore it offers them to leave the country. The corresponding statement was published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the republic.

Belarus reacted to the US sanctions imposed on it by inviting American diplomats to leave the country by September 1 this year, leaving five people at the embassy in Minsk. According to the press secretary of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry Anatoly Glaz, the Foreign Ministry does not see the point of finding a large number of Americans in the republic against the background of reduced cooperation in all spheres.

Judy Fisher, appointed by the State Department to the post of ambassador to Belarus, is not expected in Minsk either. Minsk withdrew consent to her appointment.

Thus, Minsk began to impose retaliatory measures against the US sanctions against Belarus, which have already been named the most ambitious. On August 9, the US Treasury announced the introduction of restrictions against the defense and energy sectors of Belarus.

The decree, signed by Biden, says that the sanctions are being imposed on businessmen close to the Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, as well as 15 companies controlled by them. In total, they will affect 23 individuals and 21 organizations, including the largest Belarusian companies.

        The quote is not mine, I did not write that. As for sobriety, it still will not sober up: many Americans, especially in power, in the civil service, are deeply convinced that they are special people.

  Russia invites the American side to bring the number of diplomatic and technical staff working at the United States Embassy in Moscow and consulates general in St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Vladivostok, in exact accordance with the number of Russian diplomats and technical personnel who are in the United States by September 1 ... "This means that the total number of personnel employed in American diplomatic and consular institutions in the Russian Federation is reduced to 455 people," the Russian Foreign Ministry explained.

        Do you really think that meetings via skype or zoom or teams or something else can replace 100% of personal meetings?
        Maybe you still think that remote work is as effective as teamwork in the office?
        I will surprise you, but personal meetings are needed from time to time. Especially at levels other than extras. And remote work is also not far from everyone's liking and it relaxes the rolls of a huge number of employees. And it's not about control or ass-hours, but really in the absence of "snout-to-snout" communication.

At one time he threatened Russia that he would break up with friendship, half a year has not passed and everything is the other way around, he threatens America and kisses Vladimir Vladimirovich's ass. Go understand what and where he wants ..

  Yes, this secretary, pot-bellied trifle,
  what they say to him, then he will sing.
  In such a position, they do not make politics.
  Although, of course, it is desirable that everyone in the team has a unified view of important issues, then not just a team, but a team of like-minded people.
  
  But it is better to pay attention to more important ministers, for example McKay - the head of the Foreign Ministry of Belarus, an openly pro-Western person, aimed at the West, an opponent of any rapprochement with Russia.
  
  Well, if you take Lukashenka himself and pay attention to the fact that he bangs.
  
  For example Lukashenka says that
  the West itself is to blame for having squeezed it into a corner by its actions, leaving it with no other way out as soon as it is forced to go for rapprochement with Russia.
  
  Here is such a bratello, like a rat so strongly pressed in the corner that he is even ready to be friends with us out of despair.

        I hope, I really hope that they will not wag to the end and no more ...
        
        There is only one hope, but no one canceled a sober assessment of the situation.

Well, yes, and if you need a visa, what to do? If a business that employs 25000 people in Omsk, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kazan and Novogrod will get up without it?
What are your suggestions?
I would be very happy to send mattress toppers to hell, but what should we do? :)

It means a good business if 20000 people depend on 1 visa.
In the age of information technology, instant messengers and the restrictions caused by the pandemic, there is no business that depends on VISA.
The problem is far-fetched.

And what! Let the Belarusians leave one American diplomat without service personnel. Let him sit alone in the American diplomatic residence. Then there will be no boggling of the Belarusian people and Belarus will live more calmly.

They didn't learn anything. In 10 years (or even earlier), there will be a second territory 404.
