MINSK, August 1. /TASS/. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Tuesday that he plans to expedite the establishment of a contracted army using PMC Wagner fighters billeted in Belarus as the backbone of these forces.

Now we see what the Russian Civil War of 2023 was all about. Getting Wagner off Russian soil (Donbas) which is required by Russian law and bulking up Belarus for an anticipated clash with Poland/Lithuanian. Many FReepers called this almost immediately.

Oh yeah. Create an Army shot through with paid mercenaries. People who will change sides at the drop of a hat. Brilliant plan.

How will Alexander Lukashenko control Wagner guys?

[BipolarBob]

I wonder what the pay is. I may be old but I am slow. Do they allow a little vodka on the job, ya’ know . . just to take the edge off.

Making mercenaries a core component of one’s army never ends well for a would-be generalissimo.

The EU/US policy of destabilization of the Middle East deliberately produced weaponized Islamic Migrants moving West designed to destabilize Eastern Europe.

For a while, Western European nations paid and otherwise coerced Eastern European nations to stall the migrants in the East with situations like Kosovo.

International Rights Organizations prevailed enough to get general agreement that Migrants be allowed to continue westward across borders.

Belarus has allowed Migrants across it's territory as per international agreement.

Poland has refused to honor their agreement and regularly militarily blocks the Migrants and drives them back to Belarus by force.

Belarus regularly destroys blockades and fences at border crossings so Migrants can cross into Poland as agreed, and Poland rebuilds them.

Belarus likely will reinforce their Border Guard with Wagner Pros and the agreed Migrant entry into Poland will begin for Real.

Wagner sure did a number on the Uke army. Generalissimo Biden picked the wrong mercenary, Vinyl Pants, to do his dirty work. And you are correct, Generalissimo Biden or whoever is pulling his strings can’t be happy with this NATO CF.

Wagner sure did a number on the Uke army.

It was the other way around.
