"Mr. Lukashenko personally ordered Soviet-trained Belarusian chemists, scientists and technicians to work closely with Iran's mullahs on the deadly Shahab missile system -- designed to strike Europe and Israel -- as well as on the country's uranium enrichment and chemical warfare programs. "
Puties lap dog is doing the Kremlin's behest.
Hey all you Russophile, retired US military spin masters - this looks like a tough row to hoe - pls explain why this is good for "our" USA

It is just article. But I'm for one interesting to see solid proves of it. Everyone may flap his tongue in sake of propaganda agenda.
Yawn. You're pathetic. Nothing worse than an immigrant calling American veterans names. Perhaps its time for you to give a long hard look at where your actual loyalties lie. You defame American military members just because they aren't jumping on the western Ukraine fascist band-wagon like you desire. Shame on you.
Are you not ashamed of slandering and libeling men who defended this country? Or are your loyalties really back in your "former" communist country or worse - in the fascist area of that "former" communist country. You know the area and you know exactly what they are doing that is fascist. Come clean spanalot. Your anti-semitic, anti-West, anti-U.S. military ways are shining through. Are you going to continue to quote and post messages from the leading anti-American, anti-semitic, anti-capitalist Russian newspaper? How can you explain this away? "Mr. I-consider-"Zavtra"-a-legitimate-source-of-news"?
Frankly, I'm surprised FR is allowing you access to this forum after you spend 90% of your time on here slamming U.S. military members/veterans. What's a matter - Code Pink's website load too slow for you?
For the Record on Belarus': You called Lukashenko "Putie's lapdog" - How would you explain that? They are hardly friends and Lukashenko has "bucked his so-called master" on several ocassions. What is it you actually think Belarus' has to offer to anyone? Carbon copy clones of John Deere tractors, cheap refridgerators and televisions. Lukashenko is a typical despot with nothing left to do except make threats he cannot back up.
BTW, the whole Lukashenko rise to power is a perfect example of how we botched a perfect opportunity to influence the area. We defended his predecessor way too long. The guy was corrupt and we still backed him because he publically called himself a "democrat." That meant we ignored a true reformer, alienated ourselves from the Belarusian people, and allowed a dumb Sovkhoz leader named Lukashenko to point out time and time again that the US was backing the guy who reduced pensions and allowed "businessmen" to abscond with what little wealth Belarus had. Gee, guess who won that battle?
I don't fear Lukashenko. He's an idiot. And his power is generational based. His support comes from the older dying generation - the old vets and old pensioners whose ranks dwindle with each day. His policies continue to alienate him from the younger generations. One day a smarter Belarusian will figure out a way to depose him and he will. It's all a matter of time.
Lastly and read this carefully. FreeRepublic is NOT a forum where one goes to further extremism and xenophobic rascist views. You must have wandered over here after reading the lies on leftist websites about us.
While your Third Way Shill Yushchenko sent his Defense Minister to work with the Iranians while he and the mullahs worked out a plan to run Mullah gas to Europe. Keep shilling, you'll still loose your elections and hopefully you socialists will never again recover.
You seem confused. Belarus is not a Russian state, it's a soverign independant nation.
I'm retired Military and I have never viewed the Russian state or Putin as anything more than what they are.
The continued enemy of my Country.
