Dictators don't like to give up power freely, and in this case, Lukashenko is no exception. So I think what he would like to do and feels that the only way he can stay safe and secure is by staying in power using any method.

Dictators do not leave power voluntarily; that was the case in Indonesia with Suharto, that was the case with Marcos in the Philippines, that was the case with Pinochet in Chile, and we need to be prepared to confirm the challenge.

Everybody has got to die, but I always believed an exception would be made in my case. Now what?

There is no such thing as a draft exception.

There is no exception to the rule that every rule has an exception

No is the opposite of yes. Yes is the opposite of no. Nothing is the opposite of nothing. There is only one exception in this universe and that is NOTHINGNESS.
