      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.

      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).

      Wouldn’t it be better to NOT tell everyone if you really wanted to prepare for war? Posturing much?

      Belarus has a nominal GDP the size of Maine. Who are they going to war with?

      Time for Europe to station a couple of hundreds tanks and fighters next door – not mobilising, just scenario gaming..

      Hey Luka, there’s a fairly demilitarized country to your east. They have a lot of oil. Seize your destiny.

      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.

      This is why NATO/EU forces should garrison the northern border of Ukraine, allowing Ukrainian forces to fight in the south and east.

      He’s not doing a thing unless Putin is forcing him to. More than likely, this is just to distract Ukraine a bit as Russia is getting their asses handed to them right now on the battlefield. They’re losing more men than they can recruit.

      The very real and very free state of Belarus that is in no way directly manipulated by the Kremlin

    25. ImGoingCrazyWhatSong on

      This is just Kremlin propaganda. Russia is bleeding money like crazy. They budgeted to have a deficit of 3.8 trillion rubles for 2026 and by April they were down 5.9 trillion rubles, so by April they were already 1.5 times over their yearly deficit.

      Putin is starting to become more and more inpopular domestically. It has always been his style to launch big threats but then do exactly nothing except keep throwing people into the meat grinder and change what the paid trolls should focus on.

      If White Russia (no one should call them Belarus, they changed their name because they didn’t want to be connected to Russia but Lukashenko is Putin’s obedient little dog) joins the war I really think it will be hard for other countries to not become more involved.
