It’s more like ‘changing’ the name from White Russia to White Russia by spelling it in the Belarusian language instead of Norwegian (Hviterussland).
Doesn’t Belarus literally mean white Russia ?
But politically, they are still pretending to be Mini-Russia? 😉
“Same shit, different name”
(At least the government and those supporting it are shit)
We’re also going to change the name of Storbritannia to United Kingdom, Tyskland to Deutschland, Frankrike to France, Spania to España, Irland to Eire, and Belgia to Belgie/Belgium/Belgique (bit of a mouthful, but it’s important to be correct).
Just kidding, we’re only doing that for non-Western countries.
What can we do to end the Ukraine crisis?
No one:
Norway:

About as useful as thoughts and prayers.
Demokratiska krafter i Vitryssland?
En ledare som suttit vid makten i 20(?)år förtrycker de som jobbar för demokrati.
Absolut, de som driver på för demokrati förtjänar stöttning men att ”döpa om landet i deras namn” är lika värdefullt som utransonera flaggan på facebook-profilbilden.
another pointless gesture.
When will we change the name of Finland to Suomi? We still use the name for Suomi invented by the Swedish occupiers.
Logic is not the point here so this will never happen.
