Some analysts have predicted an about-turn by Lukashenko in which he may court the "anti-Russian" countries of central and eastern Europe, some of them new EU members, in order to shore up his isolated position.

This is a humorous turn of events for several reasons. Firstly, when Uncle Luk knew Yeltsin could buy the farm because of his bum ticker, he was all for Belarus-Russian Federation intergration - saw it as a way for him to become the leader of both nations. Now he's not sure sure. Hmm.
Another humorous (and sad) moment is how incredibly short-sighted Putin and Co's foreign policy has become. They've done more for turning the near abroad united against them than any NATO expansion could ever dream of.
