Putin wants a contiguous border with Kaliningrad. If he has Belarus, he only needs to slice off a piece of SW Lithuania to finally make it happen.

There is no such nation as “Belarus”.

There is Russia, and there is Poland. The line keeps moving, right now it’s about right.

The invasion that Putin is really afraid of, is democracy.

It’s not about any kind of military invasion. Belarus can’t be allowed to go democratic, where democracy could then spread to Russia and other Russian neighbors.

Russian troops likely to invade Belarus if pro-democracy president assumes power

Sounds like Belorussia's problem, not mine.

Putin is deep into his egg money propping up Assad and trying to hang on to the Crimea. With the current price of oil doubtful he has the cash for another adventure.

No problem for us. Sounds like a problem to be solved by the EU Army. Time for the socialists to go against the communists again.

Do not see this happening. Belarus is a buffer between Russia and Polish NATO.

White Russia is Russia. It has been Russian for centuries. Belarus was a creation of the Soviet Union.

How about we liberate Portland and Seattle instead. Or blockade them.
