Belarus’ top diplomat buried as his death raises suspicions
Backstories:
Since the 'invasion' of Russia into Ukraine at about February earlier this year, there has been a recurrence of 'suspicious deaths' perceived, portrayed, and other descriptions along those lines, as possible having to do with the tensions.
Current Belarus leadership is reported to have been toggling with the idea of a fully announced committed support of the Russian invasion and it's continuance, or aspects thereof. There are news reports available from different resources on the web, such as from other countries outside the US, that report of Belarus augmentative type support of Russia that have already been in existence in certain aspects how ever tenuous or latent, as well as a general preexistent alliance with (the economically empowered) Russia.
It is good to see, at least as a matter of principle, that war crime investigations from a prominent entity like the EU, are in the works, or even put forward as a prospect; plus the fact that it is coming from nearby cousin, if not the same, general region in Europe in this case.
In terms of a want for something more, 'I would say', broaden the investigation to just investigation, instead of honing in on just Russian crimes against Ukrainians, just in case, there are other war criminals that are in the region committing crimes; purview broadened by shorter lexicography (words).
Al Qaeda and ISUS fighters have been reported to possibly be active in the region fighting on both sides.
Drug trafficking has been reported to have been taking ace in both sides, in both areas inside and out of Ukraine, meaning areas of Russia too, going both directions, in and out. So we know the prospect of private armies and gangs from locations outside Russia and Ukraine is plausible.
History teaches what elements could emerge in tensions and conflicts when adjacent people close are involved, and it may include leaving a home to go elsewhere. Cited is when West Pakistan emerged adjacent India, and 'Muslims'. (longer story not included about identifying groups) were asked to leave the present day western boundaries of India, while from modern day Pakistan, those not considered 'Muslim' had to leave their and basically go to India, sort of a flipping sides after advent. In that process, many individuals died in either violence, accidents, the chaos in the situation, or another element which may include a force outside both Pakistan and India. Who and what was that? For this article, trying to point fingers on exactly what answers that question is not the topic of the discussion. The discussion is the concern of what is or what might be will attempt to try to enter the region where tensions are going on in Ukraine, that might attempt to engage in ear crimes, not leaving out trying to exploit conditions.

Jotted night EST Nov 5 2022
Immediately, recollections of the many news stories around 20 years ago that ran rife concerning Russia possibly covertly sending missiles to North Korea, was what was evoked when seeing the news stories released within the past few hours today about a prospect of missile trade going in the other direction.
US analysts could spend a year, researching nonstop, everything that may have happened between Russia and North Korea from the late 80s through 90s.
Without further ado, here is an article of reference which could be juxtaposed with the news stories coming out as we speak: https://nonproliferation.org/chronology-of-north-koreas-missile-trade-and-developments-1992-1993/
The concern now, colloquial, the proper statement may be a concern now, is once Pandora's box opens with the Dbyuk inside, realities sometimes roll out harsh truths sometimes, which sometimes involves violence and unexpected perpetration of evils despite the extent of irony or contrast to treaties in the past. Is that what we are dealing with?
Many think, that's what happened in Bosnia, that's what materialized on the Capitol grounds in DC January 6 a short time back, that's what happened after the caravan of military equipment was rolled into Ukraine earlier this year.
The other thing is, just how many missiles could a land area of the size of North Korea, compared to say a Russia, possibly produce?, certainly to significantly affect the shape of an outcome of a major conflict. Unless of course weapons of mass destruction are literally being built in an invisible dimension as though in a sci-fi movie, then reappearing in the seeable dimension, which for intents and practical purposes isn't making any sense and deserves to be left off the table. Circles back to, why and how would a tad bit of augment to weapons supply, be a big to do?, moreover, if the scenario truly exists in terms of initial start up to destination coming from North Korea originally and then to Russia?
[What's going on is looking like splish splash back and forth, and confusion and violence springs out. Of course there is more complexity to it,- honor of nations, dignity, all those elements; the prima facie at this level just discussed not spoken of much by large numbers of media outlets (but will probably be, especially after old timers at the big 3, ABC, NBC, CBS, get a hold of it), time may be of the essence to preempt further perpetration of disliked oppression.]

Written and published night EST October 30, 2022According to multiple news reports, coinciding with the day of Halloween, about and at least 150 individuals perished perhaps the result of literally being crushed by a dense crowd packed into a relatively small area.
Reports say police presence in the time frame the incident unfolded was minimal.
It may be a good sign, in that crime may be minimal.
However, there are other locales in the world that have the knowledge and experience, such as the governing bodies and police, that once there is a crowd over a certain number of persons in a certain size space, police presence is to occur, end of discussion.
The basic reason, there are just too many possibilities of what could go wrong, and if something of an anomaly does happen, the extent of ramifications when there are huge amounts of persons.
An example number may be about 2000 persons active in one locale, shopping, celebrating, concerts, or just a night on the town.
Seoul last Saturday night is said to have about 100,000 in roughly one area.
The amount could be fine in an isolated scenario of nothing unusual occurs, as 100,000 can be seated in some sports stadiums. But in the stadium they are controlled and seated ( unless an emergency).
Floods
Earthquakes
Car fires
Fist fights
Bridge caves in from too much weight on it
Crush of persons, now commonly referred to as a surge.
Condolences are sent out.
There were Americans amongst the victims.
(If you have a son or daughter in their 20s that were in Seoul on the 30th, it may be suggested to check in.)
Whether you celebrate Halloween or not, this incident certainly has left many aspects to prepare to prevent.

Media here in the US cannot help but to note, and be concerned about the escalating ongoing situation in Ukraine; Russia invaded and evidently within the past few hours, Belarus may have actually followed through on announcements about sending troops to Ukraine, for purposes in the same vein of Russia said back in the beginning of it, an augment sort of, to Russian troops, may be the result.
Then of course is the question, why don't you pay attention to what's going on in the US, or frankly, mind your business, that's their war over there in the Rus, and yours is minimizing mass shooting going on in your country.
The situation of the frequency of mass shootings on a national level has been waxing and waning over the past few years, here in the US.
A few days ago, a teenager about 15 was reported to have gone on a sort of rampage, leaving 3 middle aged females fatalities, another teenager close too him in age, and a police officer fatalities, in the Raleigh, North Carolina area.
This morning, are reports of dismembered bikers in Oklahoma.
Reports also of about 30 or so shot due to mass shootings overt the weekend.
Two separate wars it may appear. (One, the tensions, in Ukraine, the war to make it desist, and the war on mass shootings, to reach hopefully significant mitigation, and an abatement.)
On the contrary, even if by narrow margin. This isn't an opportunity to say au contraire, this is the hit square on in the face in the clear, that this is the reality.
The example seen and mental imagery teenagers have in their minds, sometimes vulnerable minds, when inundated by violence, regardless of where the violence takes place, affects them, and the round and around sequence goes nonstop. One teenager sees or hears of the violence, then carries out the same with adjustments to the social construct, which is then seen by other teenagers, who do the same, and it keeps going. Every day, since the Russians invaded Ukraine, everyone in the US hears about violence.
Almost every day, it is world news that there is violence or mass shooting here in the US.
Which came first? It may not matter all that much. Both need to stop.
Afterword
-It is known that mass shootings and violence in towns is going on in other regions of the world, Central America and drug gang wars, among these.
-The US also spends effort to support the Ukraine, along with economic spending. What if, more teenagers were being financed (a shift in allocation) to receive more schooling such as job training, at say 5:30 in the afternoon after school hours?, which is about the time the mass shooting in Raleigh a few days ago got started. Maybe the available time windows that leave voids and free time that wind up being spent in misguided or lack of guided ways, would not be as abundant, and the focus of teenagers would be in a different place.
-Considering all the above, maybe other reasons, and maybe for reasons unknown and never will be known, there may not be a singular, clearly defined 'motive' the teenage suspect had, that drove him to carry out the Raleigh, NC mass shooting that occurred several days ago. [Mind frame, mood, emotions, compulsion to reenact, through energies that he cannot still describe, brainwashed, and many other 'etiological', 'pathopsychological' factors, may hit on some of the explanations.]

Real quick, if the US, -- well we're doing much to keep aware of events and developments having to do with the Russia-Ukraine situation--, still at that, there's an old colloquial cliché in US politics and defense, which is, if not careful, Russia will be the center of global attention.
Memories of the Cold War.
Noting the death of the non-concert attendee. Kerpatenko, reference a MUSIC concert in Kherson.
'Russian ways' that go back hundreds of years, or more. Once again, what about all that Gorbachev did? 1937 and now 2022, all the same. It appeared some changes were made, at least at a moment in time in Gorbachev era. Seriously, shot a musician in his house, post Soviet bloc breakup times, over a concert, is there a 200 year old ghost there tripping over propaganda ideas, does the ghost know radio has now been invented, nevermind the internet for the world to know about the incident in a matter of seconds, as well as watch concerts?
There are other happenings associated with the Russia-Ukraine situation--, which by the way, at the rate international developments are going on relative to it, (note added 10/17/22 late night, such as Belarus joining the military action lineup in opposition to Ukraine,) it might not be just a Russia-Ukraine situation, real soon, - the other happenings, include desertion, suicide among troops, a shooting spree on training area, ramifications of draft. Enough for brief words.
Here is where the ticking really starts. Putin over in Kazakhstan for the CICA meeting late last week, and evidently Russia slated to be co-chair next year 2023. How does that all read? Plus folks like Turkey leader, Qatar, and a few other 'dependable' to express a stable Islamic common sense, were at the meeting. It seems as though Putin (viz.?) Russia are garnering up sympathy with the major players (who aren't playing and don't play around), to help out solidifying a rationale to carry out military action on Ukraine, and, whatever else goes with it such as the referent 1937 behavior.
So the biggest of the 'big boys' are watching, and someone is watching them too, might be themselves. They've got to.
The 1950s style communism, the watch every twinkle of every eye, and record every sound and thought, operandi used by Russia and the Nazis back in the early days of WWI era to ensure no sedition and leaks, while oppression of 'the Jews' (and some Muslims too), went on, here now in 2022, this is allowed to go on again?, this time, it may be without culling and oppression of the Jews being set out on the forefront as major piece in the dynamics; this getting at a baseline of strange violent behavior. Al-Qaeda, ISIS, involved in the Russia-Ukraine region/situation, as brief a summary possible, basically access to do what they want in terms of picking a side of battle lines.
Oppression of the Jews is put in quotes because the word Jews covers a very broad spectrum considering word usage changes and inclusions over hundreds, even thousands of years; the subject one to be sensitive of what individuals may take as sensitive and therefore worded very carefully; different people may interpret what the above statement is supposed to mean differently; a one bound ethnic group today might not matchup body for body what the term applied to in the Holocaust era; currently, many education resources like common schoolbooks, when referencing the cruelty in the 1930s and 40s especially at the 'camps' and locale, perhaps oversimplify the breadth of identity and sub-identities of many individuals and constructs formed by relations such as neighbors, leaving out details and differentiation such as Saffardim, Qirmzi Qeseba descent, Muslim individuals not racially identified on immigration documents as either 'white' or 'black' and so therefore 'Jew' regardless if they were one of hundreds of tribes from the area called by some as the Levant, and so forth.
Analysis of what happens, when such and such happens.
Propellers on the helicopter of polarization.
Whirlwind up, 'create' a snow flurry, a blizzard, until the totality has all the attention to, Russia, at the center, and the solid solid-minded Islamic world nations are on the ride to approve. Stop, investigate, think it through clearly.
