Lukashenko is a nasty piece of work, but he’s not dumb. So far he’s managed to resist putin’s pressure to join his war of aggression on Ukraine.

Some of the cheerleaders for Putin on here don’t recognize all the factors at play in a war. Russia has made gains with a brutal scorched earth artillery strategy.
But “making gains” against Ukraine after 5 months is a vast under performance.
Russia might obliterate Ukraine. Then again Russia might need a way out of this mess.
Threatening to take back Alaska is not a sign of strength.

Lukashenko is to Putin what a ditch digger is to the man that signs his check. Only in the Putin/Lukashenko relationship, Putin has a gun to his employee’s head.

These Belarus Special Forces officers are brave guys......for sure.

He has a Ukrainian sir-name, or perhaps Belarus sir-names are identical to Ukrainian, which is all the more reason why he should not make war on his fellow Slavs. He would also do well to remember the wisdom of rats, who leave a sinking ship. He could be Putin’s Franco.

Russia already has defaulted on some debts, due to sanction restrictions, but they’ve got the money in the bank.
