“claiming without evidence”

Yet when other side says something then they don’t need any evidence. Everyone is just supposed to take their word for it.

It is favorite statement that the left uses to claim that their is no voter fraud. Even though plenty of evidence exists and they suppress it all.

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.

If Lukashenko attacks Ukraine, it's the end of his regime. Giving Russia his tanks, helicopters, etc., just weakens his regime. There are quite a lot of Belorussian dissidents in Poland, who could easily return with an uprising. Putting troops who don't want to fight a war of aggression against their neighbors tends to lead to unrest at home.

The U.S has no problem doing business with one party states. Too numerous to name. China,Vietnam. No moral high ground there vis a vis Russia

He’s not.

Your Putin hasn't been seen with a woman in almost 10 years.

A lot of handed down memories of the Reichskommissariat activities in parts of what is independent Belarus now. Not much love for Ukrainians

We have an informal study group on Russian disinformation and active measures and that is indeed one of the talking points Moscow urges compatriots or local “useful idiots” полезные идиоты to deploy in public conversations / online debate in the west… It’s said and regurgitated not only in the US but in Germany, France, India, Japan, wherever they have a footprint and there are open public opinion discussions… Nice try at moral equivalence. The barbaric terrorist attack (100% civilian infrastructure) with ALCM from Caspian Sea and Iranian drones from Belarus yesterday on Kyiv and Lviv elsewhere should be enough to put this nonsense to bed.

Not talking about Russia. Talking about Poland.

And they want western Ukraine.

[technically right]

Well then, I should think Minsk should get a taste of a few cruise mistles. Hey, what’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

[AmericanInTokyo]

I mostly concur with you and it is an excellent opportunity for his enemies now to execute a coup d’état as he is so unpopular and the Belarusian people do not want to enter war against Ukraine upwards of 80% opposed

[marcusmaximus]

The homo is strong with these two.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Well enjoy lining up now with your new found friends on the other anti-Kyiv Axis side: Belarus, Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Congo, Cambodia, Iran… Enjoy the ride friend! ;-)

I think Poland is owed some land in Belarus. Finland is owed some land. Japan is owed some land. Where does Kaliningrad wind up?

Nope, the only one trying to carve up its neighbors is Russia.

[Long Jon No Silver]

You might be on to something

No love for Lukashenko, who stole his last election like Brandon. No desire by the Belorussians to attack Ukraine or reform the USSR with Putin.

[Long Jon No Silver]

Germany is owed some land in Poland. Poland is owned some land in Ukraine. Russia is owed .... See where it goes

[marron]

Exactly. But no one is trying to redraw borders except Russia.

One thing about Trump, you’d never see him in anything like that.
