Lukashenko is talking about Ukraine planning an attack on Belarus. He says the common Belarussian/Russian troops will be deployed on the border to prevent that. He isn't planning an attack himself.Their own troops will be deployed to prevent their own troops from starting on the Ukranian troops? Is that what they are saying?
Yes, I know he's talking about that, but honestly, that's the most unlikely scenario. I was taking the piss saying that the only troops likely to attack are his own.Lukashenko is talking about Ukraine planning an attack on Belarus.

He can't risk the west getting involved, which would likely happen if there was a Grozny style attack on a European capital.What's stopping Kyiv being flattened like Grozny or Aleppo? (I've not been following the news...)
On one of the Russian propaganda channels featured complaints that people weren’t being told that Ukraine are striking in Russia west of Belgorod, and the mayor of some town was the one to inform people.What is this sick constraint that partners are putting on Ukraine by not allowing them to attack Russian military bases inside Russia? They can carpet bomb the civilians but got forbid Ukraine retaliates on military targets? Every constraint is seen as a sign of weakness and gives them confidence they’ll get away with it and sure they do.

This makes no sense at all. It is like saying Russia should have given nuclear weapons to Iraq or Vietnam, or Cuba (they did for a few months). There are good reasons why countries do not give nuclear weapons to other countries and should remain so. 9 too many countries have nuclear weapons already.Nah, I’m just tired seeing Russia get away with everything basically. I’m not suggesting attacking Russia or anything though. It’s not meant to be used as it would be a deterrence from Russia acting stupid. They have given up their nukes by the way as part of the agreement that they would be protected.
to rest.Dude seriously needs to get laid.
Belgorod they can reach with their own ammunition and weapons but when it comes to western supplied HIMARS/MLRS they had a chain around their neck until today at least and it was one of the main reasons they are yet to be provided with mid-to-long range systems like ATACMS.On one of the Russian propaganda channels featured complains that people weren’t being told that Ukraine are striking in Russia west of Belgorod, and the mayor of some town was the one to inform people.
No idea if it’s true, of course. Seems strange to claim they’re doing it if they aren’t, what if they go ahead and do it? You claimed it was already happening so why would there be a big response?

No that’s not the way to go about itImo nuclear weapons should be on the table now to be delivered to Ukraine. Enough is enough.

Another moot point but it always gets me how so many videos by Ukrainian soldiers still have them speaking Russian language — while Putin's main excuse behind this war were the supposed repressions against Russian-speaking Ukrainians.Tweet

Yeah I never met a Ukrainian in the south who actually didn't speak Russian as their only language. That's what makes this entire thing so nonsensical. Putin used the excuse that he needed to invade to protect Russian speakers, when in fact he's been killing them en masse.Another moot point but it always gets me how so many videos by Ukrainian soldiers still have them speaking Russian language — while Putin's main excuse behind this war were the supposed repressions against Russian-speaking Ukrainians.

"Supposed" is wholly inappropriate. Minorities in Ukraine were treated like shit.Another moot point but it always gets me how so many videos by Ukrainian soldiers still have them speaking Russian language — while Putin's main excuse behind this war were the supposed repressions against Russian-speaking Ukrainians.
While true Russian-speaking people are not really a minority in Ukraine."Supposed" is wholly inappropriate. Minorities in Ukraine were treated like shit.
Isn't Russia using Iranian drones as well now? That would undo the point about them running out of missiles.Tweet

I don't think it's anything more complex than Putin having nothing else he can do. Unless he goes nuclear this is all he has - throwing men to their deaths (which will work to some degree if he does it enough) and indiscriminate mass shelling. Even then the reaction is quite tame which makes me think there's stock in the idea they are running low on certain types of missile.Some analyses are saying this is a way of Russia inviting Ukraine to negotiation table since they're losing on all fronts. On the sense we're destroy your infrastructure and make your life hell.
Only problem is even if that's true Ukrainians don't have a reason to negotiate at the moment and as a tweet above said Russians can't keep up with this kind of shelling.
Technically, everything Putin is doing is designed to get the Ukrainians to negotiate a cease fire….on his preferred terms which include the annexation of land the Russians currently occupy, which of course will never happen.Some analyses are saying this is a way of Russia inviting Ukraine to negotiation table since they're losing on all fronts.
