I'd be more supportive of our political leaders if they'd occasionally get into a tank to resolve issues.

That's not a tank, it's an APC. That being said, I approve of this. Especially with the car's owner seeming to understand the issue and after the car is towed, the mayor sweeps up the leftover rubble.

Yea I know it's not a real tank. But it's still pretty awesome.

Talk about disproportionate retribution. If only SimCity allowed that level of arbitration.


I'm not a bad enough dude, but I am an edgy little shit. I'll do what I can.

And lest you fret over the collateral damage to the Mercedes, Vilnius purchased the vehicle specifically for the video stunt, according to the Guardian report.

Bunny beat me to it.

Would have been 1000 times cooler if it wasn't set up as a stunt, but of course there would have been all kinds of legal issues then. Even if your the Mayor of a City, you can't APC cars whenever you want.

Lukashenko could do this in Belarus with no trouble at all.

Putin would do it with the driver still in the car.

Mike Haggar would do it without the tank. And the car would look a lot worse.

Within the confines of Belarus. He would have a hard time doing just about any of his shit in Berlin or Moscow.

Well, yeah

I remember one kid I met from Belarus one time. He was a real shit. He kept bragging about how he was from the last dictatorship in Europe and how it gave him more character than us Americans with our lame "democracy".

Asshole...

I have a co-worker who left the country and became a citizen of the US. He is a good guy. Also, a portion of my family heritage is from Minsk. I hope you won't formulate all of your opinions about the country based on a single "asshole".
