ANALYTICAL SUMMARY Deep crisis in Belarus. Stalemate and three crucial questions.
The political confrontation in Belarus has reached a stalemate. Neither of the two opposing sides can win in the short-term or long-term. Neither of these side is willing to calmly discuss key issues which the country will face after the confrontation ends. This situation pushed us to create a virtual platform where participants can discuss the events, processes, and logic of the Belarusian crisis. Based on these discussions, forecasts of future developments in this country will possibly be made. For a start, we offer here an analytical summary of our first discussion.

While President Donald Trump spends the holidays at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, millions of Americans will lose their jobless benefits. Trump’s refusal to sign the $2.3 trillion Covid-19 relief and government funding bill, which his own administration negotiated, means approximately 14 million Americans will see their unemployment benefits expire on Saturday. With at least a partial government shutdown looming if not signed by Tuesday, the bill has been sent to Florida where it awaits the president’s signature or veto. Trump’s attempt to upend the bipartisan compromise by leadership in the House and Senate, insisting on $2,000 stimulus checks instead of the current $600 in the bill, is as fraudulent as his rigged election claims. It’s important to remember that although Trump is now saying, “Give our people the money!” his administration was involved in the negotiations, and it’s his party that is insisting on keeping payments to Americans low.
