    As apposed to what’s been happening for years?

    Or is this just trump helping Putin with propaganda and PSYOPs by creating fear in the Ukrainian.

    Because at this point we are the Baddies.

        So yet again, Putin has run out of troops and is looking for fresh meat for his grinders.
        I wonder what they are saying to Belarus to have them jump into the mess. It hard to threaten a country when you need their help threatening another country.

        But a death threat directed at Lukashenko will probably get you anything short of an army.

    I’m a bit surprised the russkis still have it in them. Soon they’re gonna have to ride the washing machines they looted back into battle.

    If Belarus enters the war they politically will have to do so in a grand armored maneuver, if they resort to russia’s tactics of maximal dispersion small unit infiltration it would be effectively admitting their chances of winning are remote which is politically a non-starter.

    If Belarus does launch a daring unified maneuver, even with support from the last remaining rotarywing scraps russia has, Ukraine will drop an anvil on the armored thrust in such spectacular fashion people will compare it to Desert Storm with entire Belarusian armored columns wiped off the map before they even get close to the fight.

    They have nuclear weapons, that is genuinely is scary, but Israel would first need to drop a nuclear bomb on Iran before it was tenable for belarus/russia to do so on Ukraine.
