Fears were raised today that Belarus could join the conflict in Ukraine after President Alexander Lukashenko announced he will deploy a 'joint military task force' with Russia on the country's western border.
The dictator said this was in response to what he said was a clear threat to Belarus from Kyiv and its backers in the West, claiming without evidence that that Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine were training Belarusian 'radicals' for terror attacks, after announcing plans to deploy joint troops with Moscow.

'Strikes on the territory of Belarus are not just being discussed in Ukraine today, but are also being planned,' Lukashenko said at a meeting on security, without providing evidence for the assertion.
'Their owners are pushing them to start a war against Belarus to drag us there.'
'We have been preparing for this for decades. If necessary, we will respond,' Lukashenko said, adding that he had spoken to Putin about the situation while at a meeting in St Petersburg.

'My answer was simple: 'Tell the president of Ukraine and the other lunatics: if they touch one metre of our territory then the Crimean Bridge will seem to them like a walk in the park'.'
He also claimed Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine were training Belarusian 'radicals' to carry out terror attacks in his country.
'The training in Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine of Belarusian radical militants for them to carry out sabotage, terrorist attacks and to organise a military mutiny in the country is becoming a direct threat,' Lukashenko said.

“Who has banned ALL opposition parties “.
That is a lie, 2banana.
Why are you lying?
It is funny that you defend the Polish imperialism using the same reasoning one might use to defend Russian ‘imperialism’.
If Poland is justified in expanding borders due to the threat of being overrun, why Russia isn’t?
And by the way I don’t think that the Polish control over Galicia is a bad thing. If the majority of population is supporting it, why not?
True. Lukashenko the survivor
Luka is nowhere near as popular in Belarus as Hitler was in 1939 in Germany
Crz, that is a lie at the government and people’s level.
At the government level Poland does not want ant part of Ukraine and considers the borders final.
At the people’s level well over 90% want no part of Ukraine.
Before this war there were some who missed Lwow/Lviv, which was a Polish city, but very few of those wanted to war Ukraine for that.
And now that number is near zero.
So why are you repeating a lie?

But you obviously do not care that Zelensky has many video’s on youtube portraying homo-erotic dance routines. Just to make it clear, I do not hate anyone. But I am particular about whom I choose to spend time with.
And Zelensky is smart? WOW he has single handedly made Ukraine unlivable for at least 15 years or more.
So you consider a jihadi emir as your idol?
Lady has been advising Ukrainians to run since February
Poland wants western Ukraine.
No they don’t.
I know who your idols is, among like others....
The vaunted and great Zaluzhny....

Zoom in on the vaunted and great Zaluzhny - notice the bracelet very carefully

No, he’s not. He’s more like Biden. Corrupt.
And before you get all twisted in a knot, Putin is a slimebag too.
“President Zelenskyy is like President Trump”
President Zelenskyy is like President Trump in attempting to handle internal politics as well as Putin’s “special military operation” invasion.
Yes, I agree Putin is a slimebag+. I would state that Putin is the absolute personification of evil
Poland wants western Ukraine.

Now, the Russian rationale for conquest is pretty much what Thucydides laid out in the Melian dialogues thousands of years ago - the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must. Russia is about to discover, yet again, it is not as strong as it thinks it is.
Sorry, but that’s scholastics on your part. If Poland is entitled to annex for own safety, so does Russia. It has its share of foreign invasions, no less than Poland. You also make argument for the Russian opposition to NATO.
And by saying that, I repeat, I am not against the Polish control over Galicia, if the Galicians agree to it, of course.
“Zelensky has many video’s on youtube portraying dance routines.”
Many libs did this to President Trumps just as C.I.N.O [Conservatives-in-name-only] attempt to do do to President Zelenskyy through their continuous distortions and falsehoods.
The really is kind totally ignoring the parody sketches made in 1998 at 20 years of age, [Twenty-four years ago]
Zelenskyy joined his local team at law school to compete in the KVN comedy TV show. These international competitions were held where teams (usually college students) competed by giving funny responses to questions and/or showing prepared sketches. i.e. Especially the parody of rugged, tough Cossacks initially wearing Cossack costumes that were then torn off to dance revealing themselves as feminized drag queens! The audience found it hysterical!
