“The Foreign Ministry noted that some former Wagner PMC troops were also present in the area.”

Very interesting. Wagner? What if there are tens of thousands of other Russian troops masquerading as Belarusians there as well? Z would be caught with his pants and underwear down if Putin pulled Z Kursk Surprise on Z himself.

Even if they’re not, I’m not sure why this is surprising given Ukraine’s new tactics of invading Russia, and as Belarus is a Russian ally...

One of these days Putin is going to stop fighting like George McClellan and get on with the “bloody arithmetic”. I say the sooner the better. If he lets this drag on long enough, DC will escalate it across the nuclear threshold.

“Belorus also has a northern border.”

Meaningless. Lithuania and Latvia wouldn’t do diddly squat.

Belarus isn’t going to do shit either.

Leadership is about the same as Russia (Lukashenko is an idiot) but equipment is much worse.

Belarus has enough to worry about along their Polish frontier.
