Lukashenko is a jabroni
**selectively mobilize units in order to prepare**
Let’s hope the belarusians raise up against their dictator and this bullshit.
lets hope the Belarusian people see what is happening in Ukraine and think twice… and overthrow putashenko
Lukashenko says things like this so often now that its hard to tell how much is actual military planning and how much is political theatre for Russia and domestic audiences.
Still, Belarus becoming more militarised over the last few years is definitely real, especially with how closely tied they are to Russia now. Thats probably what worries neighbouring countries more than the headline itself.
HOI4 when I play as a small country with 2 divisions
Sneak twist: he’s going to war with Antartica.
haha not even a real country
Against who exactly? If they tried to attack Ukraine, it would be a literal gift for Ukraine. It would mean they could move troops into Belarus and potentially stop other incoming routes for Drones. It would also mean that Russia would need to move troops into Belarus to prop up the forces there, which would take troops away from other locations on the front.
In a war where Russia has done some wildly stupid things, this would be near the top of the list to let Belarus get involved in anyway other then what it is now. Long and short, it’s not happening.
I kind of doubt that Belarus is going to attack anyone soon.
But this rhetoric forces Ukraine to consider an attack from Belarus. (Russian units did attack into Ukraine from Belarus territory, after all.)
1. The renewed threat forces Ukraine’s military leaders to spend time considering this avenue of attack, which leaves them with less time to work on the active military engagements to the east.
2. It forces Ukraine to spend intelligence resources to gauge the probability and sincerity of the threat. Less time to spend elsewhere.
3. Ukraine may shift manpower to their border with Belarus because of the threat, leaving other fronts with less.
China does a similar routine with Taiwan. China so frequently sends squadrons of jets towards Taiwan, in attack formation… and then they peel off at the last moment, and return home. Each time this happens, Taiwan has to scramble fighters and air defense assets to respond to the *potential threat*. This happens over and over again, week after week. The point is to psychologically build up the impression that it is always going to play out like this. So IF / WHEN China actually follows through in such an attack, it would be surprise for the defenders.
Further if itchy-trigger fingers fire too early, then China has a “provocation” that they can cite for their domestic audience, as a “cause for war.”
These lethal games they play.
Furthermore, these antagonistic saber-rattling tactics have become normalized. Lowering the bar of what ought to be considered expected of participants in the international community. By slowly ratcheting up the pressure like this, over years, they strengthen their military’s position without any one event that draws international condemnation (that could lead to sanctions).
His army should deal with him before he get’s them killed for nothing…
Wouldn’t it be better to NOT tell everyone if you really wanted to prepare for war? Posturing much?
I wish one day I get to see a free Belarus.
He isn’t going to do a thing
I mean if Putin can tag belarus in…can Ukraine tag in Poland? I’m sure they won’t mind if there are a few Russian units mixed with the Belarus ones.
Belarus has a nominal GDP the size of Maine. Who are they going to war with?
Oh boy, he is the guy to test the european determination. Mr Wanker himself. On Putins orders. After giving Putin a blowjob the 9th of may, he is warmongering. Another No-Peace-Board member.
Time for Europe to station a couple of hundreds tanks and fighters next door – not mobilising, just scenario gaming..
A war with whom
how is he still fucken alive…. im 44 and i feel like he has been Belarus president since WWII….
Hey Luka, there’s a fairly demilitarized country to your east. They have a lot of oil. Seize your destiny.
Belarus honey this isn’t the time
The whole world just gives him a big eye roll 🙄
Well that would jive with my suspicion that Putin is lying about ending war with Ukraine only to attack
A couple of drone attacks from Ukraine and they will toddle off back to where they came from ..
I don’t think it’ll end well for Lukashenko if they joined the war, like at all
Doesn’t he say this every year?
Is this why Putin smirked and told people about ending the war ~~special operation~~ real soon?
Means that Putin is very desperate
W⚓️
If Belarus tries to jump Ukraine Poland should stomp their asses
Will he take over Russia ? The country who lost its army for nothing.
So Russia is running out of troops, so he’s doing this false again to tie up Ukrainian trips along the boarder
These repeated false statements only serve to desensitise us to any real instructions that may one day be given.
Who are they fighting? Potatoes?
Mobilizing units to attack / defend from whom exactly?
I mean I get it…
Strengthen the Bulwarks at the last moment. Lose a division.
“oooh I saved you from communism. – but I am a good communist ”
or
“oooh I rushed to your assistance in smashing the Ukraine – I am a good communist.”
War with whom?
Preparing for war with who? Ukraine?
I can’t believe Lukashenko would admit Russia is losing like this
Belarus (‘s government) always says just enough to placate big papa Putin, but never does anything, because they know they’d eat sh** and d**. It’s been like this since day 1, their threats mean nothing, in the same way Russia’s billionth “final red line!!!!” threats mean nothing.
Meh. So he said nothing. Though I can understand how his words can make people anxious. But I certainly would not jump to any conclusions. He just said there will be exercises. If I am not mistaken, certain reservists in Belarus periodically take part in military exercises and, yet again, if I’m not mistaken get paid and are doing it willingly.
For a war ???? With who ???
Poland would destroy whole Belarus army in a few days .
Ukraine is fighting Russia and Russians can’t win.
Other post Russian republics would win with Belarus also .
He just needs to cover his failed government .
So they are going to round up all their vintage Soviet era rolling stock that still works, drive fast as they can to almost the border and then turn around like they have done in the past and call it a day.
More “fertilisier” for the sunflower seeds growing in the nurturing ukrainian soil!
This is why NATO/EU forces should garrison the northern border of Ukraine, allowing Ukrainian forces to fight in the south and east.
Imagine being the leader of a large 10 million country, next to Poland, next to Latvia, next to Lithuania, all EU countries and then willingly sucking Putin’s dick.
Lukashenko is clearly aligning Belarus more closely with Russia’s war posture, and if Belarus becomes more directly involved, it will likely come at a devastating human cost, especially for Belarusians themselves. Russia has historically shown a willingness to absorb massive casualties in pursuit of strategic goals, and Belarusian forces would almost certainly be subordinated to Russian command priorities.
The larger concern is strategic geography. Belarus gives Russia a northern platform that could threaten the roads, rail lines, and supply corridors carrying NATO and Western aid into Ukraine. Even without a major territorial offensive, disrupting or slowing those supply routes could place enormous pressure on Ukraine’s ability to sustain the war.
If Russia uses Belarus primarily to strain logistics and force Ukraine to divert troops and air defenses northward, that alone could significantly shift battlefield dynamics in Russia’s favor.
So Putin told him to invade Ukraine because Russia can’t get the troops. Russia sounds pretty desperate at this point.
So sick of these thumb looking old farts with their wars. Get a room already..
Belarus is a puppet state of Russia. Putin controls them for all intents and purposes. If he wants to use their military to attack Ukraine from another angle, it will happen.
