Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Not watching that shite .

Apart from Libya. 😕

Who said anything about a random attack, it would need to be fully "justified".

I imagine plans have already drawn up for it.

"In Dagestan, a father blew himself up together with the policemen who wanted to mobilize his son."

There is an utterly graphic and astonishing video of them exploding.

Tragic, but it's the sort of resistance needed to have any chance at regime change.

If they were going to enter at any stage it would have been under the guise of "peace keepers" or some shít after Putin took the whole of Ukraine in 3 days.

That ship has long sailed, if NATO doesn't bomb them back to the 70s, Ukraine will probably be given the tools to do it.

Lukashenko is an absolute oaf, but he is not completely retarded.

Anyway the weaker Russia becomes the more chance he has of removing himself from Putins hole, although he seems comfy up there.

The reality is, stark or otherwise, there is no way Ukraine will be "allowed" lose this war, we have crossed that line, too much at stake now.

@Gregor Samsa The "realm of possibility" is so broad that there's really not much point in spending time out on its fringes.

Much like the talk of nukes and WMDs but yet it's still being talked about on a daily basis on here

Lukashenko is a moron but he's wily enough not to shoot himself in the foot by sending his forces abroad to fight a very dangerous opponent.

Like all dictators, Lukashenko's #1 policy is staying in power. Everything should be viewed though that lens.

There were persistent mass protests all over the country, only two years ago, the likes of which have never been seen in Putin's Russia. Those people haven't gone away and they certainly haven't changed their mind about Lukashenko. He's not going to weaken his hand and allow them to pop back up.

At this stage he's basically functioning as an emotional support dog for Putin.

Half the army and the reservists would be doing the same cross country running we saw in recent days too if it came to it.

Nothing in it for Lukashenko to invade Ukraine, everything to lose though.

Not going to happen, instilling yourself in a campaign that can't be won would be next level stupid.

Thanks. I just hope the Russians are as slow in reacting to their 99% ballots as we have been in following up on the Seanad electorate amendment.

Lukashenko will do whatever keeps him in power. Nothing else. He knows the hangman is always right over his shoulder.

If Belarus enters the war they must be destroyed by America/nato. Attacking Belarus is not an attack on Russia. Attack them.

There's really only one gullible poster pushing the Lukashenko line here, I think the rest of us are in agreement about the issue.
