#6  If Lushchenko is smart, he's spreading around some bribe money to make sure he's got a place to run to (Persian Gulf?) and has a fueled jet and well paid pilot on tap. And if we're smart, we'll help him.

#4  The author/article uses selective quotes.

Lushchenko also states,

"Moreover, we can't threaten - we know who opposes us, so to unleash some kind of a conflict, some kind of war here... is absolutely not in the interests of the Belarusian state. So the West can sleep peacefully."

#3  Have another dose of copium? More likely Belarus will become Ukraine and Poland problem when Lushchenko falls after Russia's defeat.

#2  Poland and Belarus will be Putin's problem to deal with. Since WW11 Poland lost lands now occupied by Ukraine. Devi up lands between Belarus and Poland will be tricky. Appeasing Poland will be a masterstroke work but Belarus is already a staunch ally of Russia. Belarus is ready to go into Ukraine. Time will tell.

#1  Dear Belarus - may I call you Belarus? Thank you so much -

The people you're pissing off are the spiritual heirs of men who charged the Wehrmacht with lances, on horseback, and they remember your forebears stabbing them in the back 85 years ago this month.

They will not look at you kindly.

Mike
