Psaki denies allegation US backed plot to assassinate Belarus strongman Lukashenko

White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Wednesday denied that the United States was involved in an alleged plot to assassinate contested Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.

"I can confirm there's no basis in fact there," Psaki said when asked about the allegation.

The Russian military intelligence agency FSB said late last week that it arrested two men, including one with a dual citizenship in the United States and Belarus, who planned a military coup in Belarus and to assassinate Lukashenko.

Lukashenko later alleged that the U.S. was behind the alleged plot. He said he was "surprised" that "the Americans behave this way" and that "no one can set the task of eliminating the president, except the top political leadership," according to his office's website.

Russia's President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday lamented the fact Western officials had not addressed the alleged plot against Lukashenko.

"It is typical that even such flagrant actions have not been condemned by the so-called collective West. Nobody seemed to notice. Everyone pretends nothing is happening," Putin said. "[T]he practice of staging coups d’état and planning political assassinations, including those of high-ranking officials — well, this goes too far. This is beyond any limits."

Great to be a demonrat, you can lie with impunity and NEVER be held accountable.

Well, we know she’s at least partially correct.

You know the only thing Joe Biden is going to plot is what flavor pudding he will have after his nap

“And even if President Harris did order a hit, it would be all Trump’s fault,” Psaki added.

The globalists were at the core of the cabal that stole the election and placed the corrupt, demented Biden as their figurehead. They mean to use their power to achieve their globalist goals. If that means involving America in some useless war or assasinating inconvenient foreign leaders, they will do it. They have no regard for the well being of the American nation or its people. They will sacrifice American blood and treasure without giving it a second thought. America to them is nothing more than a vehicle of convenience.

“Makes me want to root for Lukashenko.”

Count me in...he’s ready to merge with Russia. Teach the Left a damn lesson, since the GOP can’t seem to figure out how to do that.

Of course it was a US led plot.

And of course it must be denied.

Given Бидон and odumbo and the terrorists ‘Republican friend McVain helped the so Euromaidan revolt in Ukraine in 2014 to overthrow a pro Russian president, and USA interference in Israeli elections (due back carville) this would not surprise me.
