Belarus is currently so worried that Russia will soon invade that they met with Mike Pompeo to discuss mutual security interests.
Putin says that Ukraine is full of barely concealed Nazis. He spoke on the 100th anniversary of the promotion of Josef Stalin to Minister of State in charge of kulak executions.
(it’s satire, but is it made up?)
“” “” Belarus is currently so worried that Russia will soon invade that they met with Mike Pompeo to discuss mutual security interests.”” “”
Not really. They didn’t invite Pompeo but simply didn’t deny his visit and this visit means literally nothing. And if you believe US and Belarus has ‘mutual security interests’...
And it is undisputable that Belarus stands much lower in terms of human rights and freedoms than Russia. Why Pompeo would seek ties with a dictatorship?
One thing for sure, Pompeo was much more responsible in his statements than any of Obama officials regarding Ukraine. It deserves credit.
All in all the situation is simply Belarusian president extorting preferences from Russia using US as a leverage.
As for Zelensky his Warsaw speech was once again stipid, inciting and included factual lies. The purpose was to please the Polish but evidently at the expense of displeasure to everyone else.
According to an old Ukrainian tradition Zelensky is heading towards single digit approval from 100% vote in less than one term. He might even get another revolution if tries so hard.
