Interesting response since the writer in this article sauced both the Press Release and The Video you posted LB. So where is the writer wrong?

Interesting response to a legitimate logical question you don't want to answer..Unhinged I see.
‘Cutting each other's throats’: Allies fear Russia will annex Belarus to save Putin’s life
Western allies fear that Russia will gain sovereignty over Belarus, a former Soviet satellite state that could help preserve Vladimir Putin’s grip on power and sharpen Kremlin threats against NATO members. Russian expansion is on the table because Putin is trying to finalize the implementation of a union treaty that the two countries signed in 1998. Moscow and Minsk interpret the agreement differently, but Putin has begun to apply economic pressure to Belarus while scheduling a flurry of meetings with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko over the last year. “I think this mild annexation will just happen, probably next year,” Alisa Muzergues, a foreign policy analyst at GLOBSEC in the Slovak Republic, told the Washington Examiner. “To be honest, my personal feeling is that it's already a done deal."
Such a maneuver could end Lukashenko’s tenure as “the last dictator in Europe,” while providing Putin with a political life-preserver. Currently, presidential term limit laws require him to leave the Kremlin in 2024. A union with Belarus would allow him to circumvent those limits and continue to rule the revised Russian state, pending a new election he is expected to win. The prospective agreement is widely regarded as a way to provide a new legal basis for Putin to remain in power, sources told the Washington Examiner. The stakes for Putin are high. “The Kremlin is not monolithic, there are many factions,”a Baltic official told the Washington Examiner. “Right now, Putin is the force which keeps them from cutting each other's throats, but if he leaves power he understands that he himself becomes vulnerable.”
The prospect of a Russian expansion has caused open anxiety among NATO allies, including in Lithuania, a Baltic Sea neighbor that joined the transatlantic alliance in 2004. “During the last year, Russia’s pressure towards Belarus to implement the obligations under the Agreement on Establishment of the Union State of Belarus and Russia increased,” Lithuania’s Foreign Ministry told the Washington Examiner, referring to an ambiguous union agreement that the two sides signed in 1998. “It is a sovereign choice of Belarus with whom and how to integrate. However, independent, sovereign Belarus is our national interest.” Lukashenko has balked at what he calls Putin’s demand that he “bury the sovereignty and independence” of Belarus. He has avoided signing an agreement, but the two leaders have met twice in the first three weeks of December. "Overall, since the Soviet Union collapse we have not drifted apart too much from each other,” Lukashenko said following a Friday meeting with Putin in St. Petersburg. “Even though we did not enact the points envisaged there, we did not stray away from each other either as it happened with Russia and other republics in the post-Soviet space and not only the Baltic states or Ukraine.”
Hundreds of activists risked the wrath of Lukashenko’s security services to protest against integration with Russia during both of his meetings with Putin, including a Friday gathering of 1,500 people who warned that “Union with Russia means War and Poverty.” An unknown street artist lampooned the meeting with graffiti of Putin and Lukashenko kissing, to the delight of Belarusian nationalists. “Lukashenko signed most of the agreements with Putin,” Franak Viačorka, a prominent local journalist, tweeted. “It seems 2020 will be the critical year for Belarus' future and independence. And these protests are not the last.”
Lithuania’s acknowledgement that Vilnius is “closely monitoring” the possibility that Russia will absorb Belarus reflects the concern that a merger would fortify Putin’s political and military power within quick striking distance of a vulnerable part of the NATO alliance. “Baltic states are in between Kaliningrad and Belarus, and that also is probably the weakest link in NATO,” the Baltic official said. “Belarus is very far to the west, so Russians can use it to project power.” Kaliningrad is a Russian exclave that Moscow has controlled since the Cold War, even though the territory does not connect by land to Russia. The district, stocked with Russian military assets, is surrounded by Poland and Lithuania, but the Polish-Lithuanian border creates only a small buffer of NATO territory between Kaliningrad and Belarus. “In that 50 miles, they're cutting off the three Baltic states from the territory of NATO,” the Baltic official said, while discussing the possibility that Putin might try to connect Belarus with Kalinigrad.

Comey or 'Corney'? Stalking a Half-Popped Kernel of a Deep-State Kerning Conspiracy
We know a few things for sure, beginning with the fact that quiet changes have been made in the blockbuster report on FBI spying abuse released two weeks ago by the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General. We also know that while the IG has acknowledged many little revisions, one of the most significant has happened without official notice or comment: the odd and mysterious case of Comey vs. Corney. Before diving into that, as a reporter who has spent years covering the whole Russia-FBI-FISA-Steele-Ohr-Simpson-Comey-et al.-gate story, let me begin by admitting the obvious: It is crazy-making. The regular occurrence of improbable strangenesses is enough to make one think that those with tin chapeaux and aluminum curtains are onto something.
Take the most recent baffling curiosity, the fact that the name “Comey” – as in former FBI Director James B. Comey – didn’t appear once in the 476 pages of the report released Dec. 9 on the FBI’s abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. Or so it seemed. Sure, there are many references to the former FBI director in it. But search for “Comey” and your computer tells you there is no such word in the document. By contrast, search for “Corney” and you get nearly 150 results – results that all look like “Comey.” What gives? Perhaps it is just an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) problem. A PDF is not a word-processing document made up of so many individual letters. Instead, a PDF is an image, often an image of text. To search such an image of text, computers use OCR to analyze the shapes of the little squiggles and identify them as letters. Once the letters are known they can be searched.
So, could the Comey/Corney conundrum be an OCR problem? “Nooooooooope!” is the emphatic answer of “u/Lumyai,” writing at the “conspiracy reddit.” The argument that follows is compelling. The poster counted up the 23,851 “m’s” and found the only ones represented as “rn” were those in “Comey.” Also, there are some 2,000 instances of “rn” in the document but only in Corney/Comey is the “rn” combination mistaken for an “m.” u/Lumyai offers examples of some of the many words in the Horowitz report where the computer has no trouble making out “r” and “n” without confusing the two together as an “m”: attorney, government, concerned, international, and earnest.
It’s almost enough to make one agree with u/Lumyai’s conclusion – that someone has doctored the text in “an intentional conspiracy to shield James Comey from key-word searches.” This might be done, a graphic designer who does typesetting for publications tells RealClearInvestigations, by including an invisible layer of searchable text under the unsearchable, visible image of text. For example, the visible layer would have an image that looks like the name “Comey” but under it, in the invisible layer, is the text “Corney.” But what would be the point? I rather doubt that U.S. Attorney John Durham is going to be fuzzled by a trick keyword search. Chances are he will have read the complete Horowitz report and seen all the passages that reference James Comey, even if Corney/Comey confuses the computer. If there has been a conspiracy, it has failed, perhaps because of the conspiracy-theorists who have been drawing attention to the strange spelling of Comey in the digital version of the Horowitz report.
But most important, the document has been changed. Sunday evening, I went to show my brother-in-law the Comey/Corney effect and what did I find but that it had disappeared. When the report was initially released two weeks ago, it was dated, at the bottom of the cover page, “December 2019.” It now reads “December 2019 (Revised).” The revisions are listed on a new page before the Executive Summary. They are mostly persnickety, minute changes meant to make the document, very strictly speaking, correct. For example, the OIG states, “On pages iv, xvi, 400, and 407, we changed the phrase “before and after” to “both during and after the time.” On some four different pages the OIG changed the solid “had no discussion” to a squishy “did not recall any discussion or mention.” And if you check page 370, you’ll find that “assertion” has been replaced with “statement.”

Agreed, this is going to be quite interesting, I was hoping the writer would mention this board, kek
