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.

If Biden is for it, I'm against it. Ukraine is as dirty as they come.
Lukashenko is a legitimate target
Poland wants western Ukraine.
Lukashenko is a horrible person but he’s no Hitler. Among other differences, Hitler was popular - Lukashenko is incredibly unpopular. I could be wrong but I don’t see Lukashenko conquering anything, he just wants to stay in power (and alive!).
So is BidenIdiot and every other Western/UK/EU/NATO leader.....
Point is, don’t rely on someone being overthrown as a strategy.
Head of Chechnya Kadyrov urges Ukrainian President Zelensky to flee to the West

Einstein.
You drank the kool-aid and could not refute one fact I presented as Zelensky as no different than any other thug dictator.
But, you keep believing.
“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.”
Of course, you can expect a pre emptive attack against NATO forces marshaled in Poland once DC’s proxy war reaches critical mass. Is that a wrench in your pocket or are you just glad to see the big guy’s plans come to fruition?
I'm not. I'm saying Lukashenko knows his hold on power is tenuous and I don't think he is going to risk it. But I could be wrong!
Of course. But she’s not an “outsider”.
Now, if say a Polish political figure of some significance would call for Belarusian partisans to rise up, THAT would qualify as egging on from outside!
Looks like dear leader is firmly in control still. The possible coup must’ve failed.
Tell your Putin to leave Ukraine and Belarus.
Belarus Belarus can you do the fandango!
You’re a funny guy! If he didn’t flee when you people were at the gates of Kyiv, why would he flee after he’s smashed the Russian Army?
Wrong
EVERY other party besides Zelensky is banned.
You want peace? Banned. You gotta be pro Russian.
The state controls ALL media. All dissension is banned.
You go ahead and keep your eyes closer that Zelensky is not a thug dictator.
“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.”
This stuff is starting to read like a Harold Coyle novel.
