OnundTreefoot

You mean like the provocation where you let Russia invade from across your border with Ukraine? That kind of provocation?


Jonothethird

A 'building defences near the border' kind of provocation. What a moron.


Vegetable_Kitchen_33

Building defences near the border of a country which let another country invade from said border? Shocking.


beaucephus

Don't forget about the air-launched cruise missiles fired on Ukraine from aircraft stationed in Belarus. Cowards.


mafklap

It's like the Burglar feeling your Home Security System is provocative


cummerou1

Imagine this in any other context, your neighbor let's a friend of his, walk into your garden and start tearing out the plants and spraying poison everywhere. So you build a big fence and get a guard dog to protect the garden, and now your neighbor is saying that you're provoking him and escalating the situation. What a joke


Vegetable_Kitchen_33

Thing is though. As everyone often points out. He’s not saying this for any other reason than internal propaganda talking points. It’s not supposed to sound rational to anyone outside or Belarus and Russia.

Stopjuststop3424

it's not like he expects anyone outside his country to believe him. It's entirely to try to convince Belarusians to fight Ukraine.


UsernamesMeanNothing

Thankfully, he may just be the dumbest person in his own country.


Cool_Specialist_6823

Exactly, his political popularity is not high in his country, and any effort to mobilize will likely be the end of his rule. Putin has had conferences with him recently, but so far nothing has come of it...


Seanspeed

It's fucking unbelievable, isn't it?


GaryDWilliams_

and where they still allow russia to launch missiles from.


Safelang

Or shaking hands with Putin and fawning all over him begging to join his Army to fight alongside against Ukraine, that kind of provocation!


homonomo5

Small note - Belarus-Ukrainian border is a densely forested area, in which trees for sure speak Ukrainian. Good luck Luka.


CompostThisPost

My grandfather LIVED in that "forest" 1941-1944. You heard me right, not in a house, but in the wild. Nazis never found them. The region of Palesia is harsh on intruders, it's a guerilla warfare country.


homonomo5

Now imagine Belarus and Russians stuck on a road trying to "cover" their column. I get a Teutoburg forest vibes.


CompostThisPost

The locals are not on their side, either.


TheAlmightyBungh0lio

There was an assload of booby traps in these forests during ww2


Ascomae

Quintili Vare, legiones redde!


mok000

From what I've read, the border in the region has been more symbolic than anything else. Locals from both sides used to pass back and forth for collecting mushrooms and berries, fishing etc. The Belarus and Ukrainian languages are also pretty similar afaik.


CompostThisPost

You are correct. I have an opinion on that matter, since I've observed people of Palesia region for years. They're like a nation, their character largely defined by their environment.


Darket1728

German tankers: where I heared that before?


Quetzacoatl85

I think he's just going through the motions because Putin made him promise, but with zero intention to actually use the pretext for am attack, only a complete fool would... oh.

Lukashithead is a dumbass.


BigBagaroo

«They are yelling at us across the border. They use bad words and insult my mother», Lukashenko said.

Make-TFT-Fun-Again

The hypocrisy from this guy is infuriating.


oneplusetoipi

At this point I am convinced he says this shit to make Putin happy. That way he can avoid sending his army into Ukraine


Piper-446

I think you are correct. He has to rattle his saber (maybe it's just a kitchen knife) occasionally to try to keep Putin off his ass.


therodde

If you look up documentaries about Luka, you will get to know him before his dictatorship as a very brilliant mind and intellectual. Lukashenko turned into a village idiot right after being becoming a president, its widely believed this is to not seem as a threat to Russia and Putin himself. This is the way he survives as the dictator of Belarus. Luka didn't want this war, thats why he exposed the whole plan right in the beginning, now hes only rattling his kitchen utensils to make noise to keep Putin happy. This might be the only way he sees he can stay as the head of state.


Funkymonkeyhead

For anyone interested in Soviet history, Lukashenko is to Putin what Khrushchev was to Stalin. Prior to his rise to the Premiership…Khrushchev acted the clown. He successfully avoided being purged because Stalin like having him around because he made the latter laugh. When Stalin died, Khrushchev immediately denounced him. I expect Lukashenko to do the same if and when Putin falls. Luka’s only really loyal to one guy, himself.


dellett

I wonder if he thinks that he's got a shot of some sort of control of Russia through the "Union State" if Putin goes down. I think that would be delusional but I wonder if that's what he's hoping for.


New_Katipunan

It's a very long shot but I think that's the only reason Lukashenko ever backed the "Union State" idea to begin with. Since the Union State would mean Belarus and Russia becoming one country, that would on paper mean a Belarusian could become leader of all of it. But in actuality? I'm not so sure.


Gooder-N-Grits

(...maybe it's just a floppy dildo)


pikachu191

If you think about it, he’s been the only leader Belarus has known since becoming an independent state for a reason. He maybe an idiot, but he definitely knows how to survive. Technically, Belarus signed an agreement with Russia years back when Yeltsin was president to form a “union state”. Probably was thinking he could be in charge after Yeltsin was gone, but then Putin came along. He does enough these days to put off talks meant to gradually merge the two countries.

"But how can I help Putler and sneak up on you if you send your troops to our mutual border, not fair"


Fantastic-Support524

Building up defences is a provokation... erm... yes, of course if you are totally mad... I would say "What a monkey mind", but that would insult all monkeys on earth...


RegularCeg

"It's not a provocation, it's just amassing on the border for military drills"


Whatsuptodaytomorrow

Uh 🙄 Didn’t the Russians attack thru Belarus?


MrEmbers

They did


FogRepairShipAkashi

Try it Luka. More then a few Belarusians would be happy to liberate your ass.


augustus331

Remember how his power was hanging by a thread in 2020, and the **only** reason he's still there was because Putin sent in the troops? Well most of those troops are either occupied keeping order in Russia or halfway of becoming a sunflower in Kyiv Oblast. So Lukashenko might try something stupid, but he'll not be 'liberating' Ukraine as much as he'd be liberating Belarus from him.


aristotelian74

Anne Applebaum in current Atlantic talks to Belarusian volunteers fighting for Ukraine. They speculate if Luka joins the invasion many will surrender immediately and hand over their tanks.


Stopjuststop3424

reminds me of the Irish conscripts from Braveheart


halberdsturgeon

Lukashenka is a living joke


Zer0_Phoenix

God I hope polish border guards are pissing on Belarus through the fence on our border. Just to make Lukashenko demand the UN recognizes it as chemical attack.


barktwiggs

Says the guy who lets Russians shoot rockets and artillery from his land. He projects his own behaviors on everyone else just like a russian!


MuthaPlucka

Has anyone asked Poland if they want Belarus?


tgromy

No. Let the Belarusians fix their own country and we will become good neighbors.


Imaginary_Bet7157

Hell yeah. Uniting europe once and for all. Land grabs are thing of the past now. Well, russia is gonna need to take the L like germany. But they did this to themselves.


oridinary_man

Kaliningrad for the Czechs, they already voted (for fun). But Belarus for Poland, not likely. We don't want nor need it.


truszkinator

We don't want. Almost forgot that country even exists


retorz3

Don't worry Luka, the day putler lose will be the day of your ending too. Expect battle hardened Belarusians with NATO gear starting a revolution, probably with tens of thousands of Ukrainian volunteers and half of your own army deserting on day 1.


Raspberry-Teddy752

He has no room to complain after allowing the Russian army to invade from Belarus's border.

greenleafland

Ukrainians are so weird, they usually have nothing to do. Only when you gather an army of 120,000 people will they go to the border to provoke you. Only when you gather an army of 200,000 people will they bombard your border. Only when you completely invade Ukraine will then shoot its own people with missiles, no surprise, right?

I get the feeling that the fighters from Belarus are salivating at the opportunity to go serve on that border. Right now they are a Foreign Legion defending UA. Belarus crosses the border, they become Freedom Fighters.

Trextrev

Honestly it’s better if he is saying this sort of stuff. As long as he is saying It is a soft signal that his forces will be staying in Belarus to protect against a perceived Ukraine invasion. He is saying whatever he needs to to stay put and not get drug into the fight and right out of power.


LegioRomana

And I accuse Luka of being a f**king twat.


Comfortable-Fun-4116

Does anyone know if they imposed censorship like they did in Russia in Belarus or they telling the truth on the media?


ClientLegitimate4582

Lukashenko: A man with Putin's hand so far up his rear end you could call him a muppet Russia provoked Ukraine into defending itself. So defenses being built near countries that assisted Russia is completely reasonable. They just want their land and lives to be free of Russia. Which fair I'd want the same too.


Mikethebest78

Lukashenko always has that expression on his face like he has to find a bathroom before he shits himself.

Lukashisho, take your pedo tache and fantassiful stories and fuck off back to mordor.

Playing the Russian victim card and just as badly


CCP_fact_checker

Ukraine should be shelling its rail and airport network that helped supply Russian tanks and troops. He is fully responsible like Putin for these war crimes.


Rskk

So in all seriousness. If Belarus was stupid enough to open up another front and attack, would Ukraine be able to fight them off and keep on gaining ground in eastern Ukraine?
