ST. PETERSBURG, July 23./TASS/. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has said he is "starting to get tense with the Wagner group because they want to march on Warsaw".

"Maybe I shouldn't say it, but I will. The Wagner group has started to stress us: 'We want to go to the West. Let us go.' I said, why do you want to go to the West? 'Well to go on a tour to Warsaw, to Rzezow'," Lukashenko said at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin...

Poland and Lithuania have the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad boxed in on the Baltic coast.

Talk of NATO putting the squeeze on in the Baltic Sea which is the supply line to that enclave.

Wagner is camped closer to Kiev than Poland.

Looks like two can play the propaganda game to influence the other side.

Can’t say I blame Wagner, as Poland has been practically BEGGING to be invaded since the Ukraine War started.

old but relevant polish (polak) joke:

Q: “A German is breaking into your home at the front door and a Russian is intruding from the back door. Which do you shoot first”?

A: “The German, because Business before Pleasure”.

It’s not Russia going into Poland…it’s these crazy mercenaries. Don’t blame Moscow!

And there are people who will actually believe such tripe.

As if Poland will let them. Wagner will get their ass kicked back to Moskva if they try.

By that logic, we would be justified in taking our Iran.

It’s fine that you wish to side with Russia for some reason, at least that’s what Jim thinks, but let’s not hide behind BS to make it seem like your expansion is OK.

An attack on Poland would mean the end to Russia. And it wouldn’t be nuclear.

He’s a bit of a loose cannon. He also said that he believes Poland will take part of Ukraine. Says he has proof.

It’s surprising the Russians have not attempted interdiction of war materiel, especially at Rzeszów.

“By that logic, we would be justified in taking our Iran.”

Jimmy Carter handing Iran over to the Mullahs was one of the WORST moves ever made by the United States.

Not true.

The whole Wagner group will be sent back to "Moskya" in body bags.

FYI:
Kaliningrad “enclave” is the principal base (Baltiysk/Pillau) for the Russian NAVY (Baltic Fleet plus land & air forces). The breakup of the USSR deprived Russian NAVY of all bases in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, leaving Kaliningrad “enclave” as the fleet’s only ice-free naval outlet to the Baltic Sea. However, the Kaliningrad “enclave” is not contiguous with the national territory of Russia. Finnish gulf outlet isn’t ice-free.

Polish Army is very strong and ready. This is not September 1939...
