  1. Let’s hope the belarussians raise up against their dictator and this bullshit.

    lets hope the Belarusian people see what is happening in Ukraine and think twice… and overthrow putashenko

  3. Lukashenko says things like this so often now that its hard to tell how much is actual military planning and how much is political theatre for Russia and domestic audiences.

    Still, Belarus becoming more militarised over the last few years is definitely real, especially with how closely tied they are to Russia now. Thats probably what worries neighbouring countries more than the headline itself.

    Lol, they won’t do shit. Ukraine would stomp them if th3y crossed the border and without his army, Lukashenko is vulnerable. He won’t risk it.

    Against who exactly? If they tried to attack Ukraine, it would be a literal gift for Ukraine. It would mean they could move troops into Belarus and potentially stop other incoming routes for Drones. It would also mean that Russia would need to move troops into Belarus to prop up the forces there, which would take troops away from other locations on the front.

    In a war where Russia has done some wildly stupid things, this would be near the top of the list to let Belarus get involved in anyway other then what it is now. Long and short, it’s not happening.

    I kind of doubt that Belarus is going to attack anyone soon.

    But this rhetoric forces Ukraine to consider an attack from Belarus. (Russian units did attack into Ukraine from Belarus territory, after all.)

    1. The renewed threat forces Ukraine’s military leaders to spend time considering this avenue of attack, which leaves them with less time to work on the active military engagements to the east.
    2. It forces Ukraine to spend intelligence resources to gauge the probability and sincerity of the threat. Less time to spend elsewhere.
    3. Ukraine may shift manpower to their border with Belarus because of the threat, leaving other fronts with less.

    China does a similar routine with Taiwan. China so frequently sends squadrons of jets towards Taiwan, in attack formation… and then they peel off at the last moment, and return home. Each time this happens, Taiwan has to scramble fighters and air defense assets to respond to the *potential threat*. This happens over and over again, week after week. The point is to psychologically build up the impression that it is always going to play out like this. So IF / WHEN China actually follows through in such an attack, it would be surprise for the defenders.

    Further if itchy-trigger fingers fire too early, then China has a “provocation” that they can cite for their domestic audience, as a “cause for war.”

    These lethal games they play.

    Furthermore, these antagonistic saber-rattling tactics have become normalized. Lowering the bar of what ought to be considered expected of participants in the international community. By slowly ratcheting up the pressure like this, over years, they strengthen their military’s position without any one event that draws international condemnation (that could lead to sanctions).

  7. His army should deal with him before he get’s them killed for nothing…

    Wouldn’t it be better to NOT tell everyone if you really wanted to prepare for war? Posturing much?

    Well at least they don’t have any nuclear weapons….. oh….

  10. IdiotBOT1234 on

    Think more about Transniestr. How Moldova and Romania take away Kremlin capabilities there and what happens to the massive arsenal they leave to the EU.

    So he’s going to feed his military to the Ukrainian meat grinder because……???

    Maybe don’t use your country to start a war and don’t mobilize your forces for more war

  13. STfanboy1981 on

    Against who exactly? Ukraine? All bark just to get Ukraine to rotate it forces.

    “I promise, this time they’ll go and wont trade fuel for vodka.”

  15. I mean if Putin can tag belarus in…can Ukraine tag in Poland? I’m sure they won’t mind if there are a few Russian units mixed with the Belarus ones.

  16. lightknightrr on

    It’s almost Summer, and, what, they want to play in the mud (great time for tanks), because things are going so well with Russia’s war?

  17. Maybe three years ago, sure but Belarus is not prepared to fight this kind of war.

    It would be arguably just as bad if not worse for those poor sods than what Russia is experiencing currently.

  18. Belarus has a nominal GDP the size of Maine. Who are they going to war with?

  19. Singer-Informal on

    Oh boy, he is the guy to test the european determination. Mr Wanker himself. On Putins orders. After giving Putin a blowjob the 9th of may, he is warmongering. Another No-Peace-Board member.
