Zelensky enjoys our hard earned taxpayer money and Putin does not?

President Alexander Lukashenko is very good at manipulating Putin to the Lukashenko's benefit.

I doubt very much if Belarus will join the war... but suspect Lukashenko will figure a way to swindle billions or trillions of Rubles from the Russians.

When your country is invaded, you fight the war.

You’re peddling moral equivalence claptrap. Growing up in Berkeley I got my fill of this from America hating Maoists and other assorted degenerate leftists. So, no sale here. Sorry.

Now, if you want to talk about “thug dictators”, you’ve got two in Putin and Lukashenko.

If Biden is for it, I’m against it. Ukraine is as dirty as they come.


So when Biden was against arming Ukraine last year you were for it? Conservatives are not Democrats. We can multitask.

Russia, actually, is much more corrupt than Ukraine. Had they not been so they would have certainly rolled Ukraine in 3 days like Putin planed. Instead the corrupt and fake Russian army melted in the fields of Kyiv.

Sad. I love Russia and it brings me no joy to see so many Russians pointlessly killed by Putin's stupid adventure.

Lukashenko is quite different from Zelensky. Lukashenko has no video’s of homo-erotic dance routines. Zelensky has those all over youtube. Also, Zelensky is a filed comedian in his backgreound. Don’t think Lukashenko ever tried to be a comedian.

I said it months ago - Lukashenko is a wily sod who fancies himself as a contender for the top spot when Putin goes. He does the rather brilliant thing of clowning it up to cover up the fact he actually is quite astute.

He slow walks aid to Russia despite being literally next door; he pledges to help and does so by putting his troops near Poland and the northern border (which can be justified to Putin despite taking them out of deployment in Ukraine).

He is not so stupid as to break the unity of the Budapest Agreement on behalf of Belarus, knowing that eventually Russia, Ukraine, NATO and Belarus will all have to come to some kind of deal.

Russia is using his territory as a launchpad but it’s Russia committing the Budapest violation not Belarus; nobody expects Lukashenko to be in any position to say no to Putin, so he doesn’t. But he isn’t exactly throwing his troops over the Ukrainian border either.

There are more Belorussian troops in Ukraine fighting for Ukraine, than against.

Lukashenko’s thinking that when peace has to be struck, by doing the bare minimum so far he’ll be the Kremlin’s preferred broker between the Ukrainian government and Moscow.

Lukashenko hasn’t lifted a finger in opposition to Moscow so there’s no real reason for Putin to threaten him. The Belorussian armed forces don’t want to fight for Russia, and they don’t want to fight against Ukraine. Lukashenko knows it.

It actually wouldn’t surprise me if Belarus takes on the role of taking in Russian conscripts (who ALSO don’t want to fight Ukraine), to reinforce his borders from imminent Kyiv invas... prevent him going out like Ceaucescu, fragged by his own people.

Before Putin came along, Lukashenko was angling to unite Belarus with Russia, with him as leader.

...President Alexander Lukashenko announced he will deploy a 'joint military task force' with Russia on the country's western border.

And it will do better than any current 'military taskforce' because...?

Ukraine ping

crz:[Poland wants western Ukraine.]


Likely untrue today, but perfectly natural, even if true, given the number of times Poland has been overrun, including by Sweden, Russia and Germany. Russia is bigger than 3 out of 7 continents, almost 2x the size of the next largest country and 50x the size of Poland. For Russia to want more land comes down to simple arrogance and greed.
