So, why didn't Belarus improve at the same rate as the Baltic countries?
They both started from the bottom, right?
The Balts were immediately used as forward positions for NATO and were allowed to keep their state programs and industry. Belarus got the same treatment as Russia.
You should probably know the answer to your own snarky questions before you ask them.
So, what you're saying is that the countries that sided with the West got a better deal than the ones that became Russian puppets?
When a country joins the western bloc, they join them.
When a country joins any other multinational pact, they're puppets.
I'm not influenced by western propaganda
