Obviously not by the same methods but to bring Belarus within Russia officially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’ll be internal resistance but nothing like Ukraine. He certainly can’t afford to be fighting another war, so I don’t see it happening either way. If he fires even a single nuke he’s toast.

That's what I mean, he could be thinking that he could just absorb Belarus with little effort. Whether that happens is another thing entirely of course. Everything is posture with Putin and his fragile ego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years back, the opposition there was stamped out, just like in Russia itself. If Putin rocked the boat there, and re-ignited opposition, then that could have ramifications amongst other states in the fedaration. Can't see it.

Lukashenko is possibly more mental than Putin, so I see it as Russia in all but name really. The fact Putin is putting nukes there potentially suggests he can just say “it’s nothing to do with me, Belarus is a sovereign state lads” Seems desperate though. Which is good. And very bad.

Wanderlust Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 There was a recent article about a group of non-siloviki Russian "businessmen" and other rich Russians considering taking Putin down but worryingly their preferred replacement is 71 year old Alexander Bortnikov who is siloviki through and through having come through KGB to become head of FSB. Sure it's theoretically possible to assassinate Putin or he may even die through natural causes like the cancer some claim he has, but dismantling the siloviki state isn't going to happen and that begs the question of whether or not Russia will ever give up on it's imperial ambitions regardless of who is the nominal head of state.

Site Supporter Winchester White Posted June 6 Site Supporter Share Posted June 6 They also have underestimated just how enormous the body of water is behind the dam and have managed to flood loads of their defensive fortifications downstream. There is also the issue upstream of the nuclear power plant that uses the river for cooling. Hopefully that will turn out to be OK as it is running at a very low power output.

gonzo Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Said it before but surely the longer supporting nations struggle the less sympathy their people will have? Germany already into recession. There will be people there thinking get our gas back and balls to Ukraine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
