“The dictator...”
How is he any different than Zelensky who has banned all opposition political parties, arrested opposition leadership, seized all media and hunts down and jails/kills any dissenters?
Belarus keeps letting Russia fire missles from it’s territory and let it invade from Belarus territory. So as far as I’m concerned. Belarus is already in this war and is fair game.
I’m just hoping Belarus doesn’t just target Ukraine but does something to tick NATO off.
If Belarus starts a war with NATO, and NATO invades Belarus, what will Russia do?
“Long convoys of heavy weaponry are being transferred in Belarus to the border with Ukraine. This is according to local telegram channels and claimed eyewitnesses.”

Deploying on the border forces Ukraine to maintain a respectable force to face off with them.
I doubt they will actually enter the conflict. They’ve already given away a lot of their helicopters and armor, and at one point their officers warned them against any invasion.
There are a number of Belarusians already in the theater fighting for Ukraine. So Lukashenko’s position is precarious.

Belarus won’t join the war, because if he does he knows there’s a very real chance Lukashenko will face an armed uprising and, like Gaddafi, will wind up sodomized by a bayonet in a ditch. Not worth it.
How do you say “Il Duce” in Belorussian?
As FDR once said about a Central American tyrant, he's a sonovab*tch but he's our sonovab*tch.
Ukraine and Poland have been preparing for this and with NATO and USA help, setting up defenses as well as offensive force over the past 6 months. They’re ready.
Sherlock, Ukraine has had 5 presidents since the KGB corporal occupied the Kremlin over 20 years ago. Ukraine has a mostly function democracy unlike one party state fascist Russia. It’s common sense that certain wartime measures would be taken by a country being invaded. Particularly with a Quisling Fifth Column.
This will be the extent of it. Threatening Ukraine loudly allows him to display his support for Putin without actually having to get bloody.
Thats my prediction, at least. If I'm wrong we'll all find out together.
If that happened Lukashenko's own soldiers would shoot him. That's why this whole thing is silly - Lukashenko will do the minimum necessary to keep Putin happy but he's not going to commit suicide.
This is how world wars get going. Thanks Biden, you stupid fvck.
Scumbagski.
Thats easy. They were legal until the war started. Once the war started, once the Russians invaded, it became illegal to support Russia openly. No big surprise there. Ukrainian officers and officials who were found to be communicating with Russia get arrested, and some meet a bad end. Its war.
It IS true that Belarus’ opposition is calling for the partisans to rise up:

I don’t think they need any egging on from outside, to be honest...
Yeah, well, that's what some said about Germany in 1939, in fact, there were several plots against Hitler back in 1938, but after The Sudetenland, Hitler was untouchable.
The opposition leader is currenly in Lithuania.
