Yeah. Lukashenko knows the war is really unpopular with his people and that supporting Russia with troops would be a death sentence for him.

That Lukashenko didn't even condem the Ukrainian counterinvasion shows how much of a minefield this war is for him.

He should now stay far away from windows

This just in: Lukashenko officially endorses Linux!

He may actually be huge but anyone would look big when you're sitting next to a very small man.

Wow I never realized he had such a tiny head.

I reckon his border to Russia isn't defended very well.

[–] vpol@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

His country is a defence of Russian border. At least a buffer zone.

Oooo, someone wants to be in the history books as "the guy who wanted to end the conflict."

No deal, Lukashenko. You'll always be a Boris Yeltsin knockoff, and a bootlicker, and a spineless shill, so sayeth history.

I don't think so. I think he's worried Ukraine could do an incursion in Belarus and stir Belarussians to topple him.

[–] ulkesh@beehaw.org 1 points 2 months ago

And he should be worried. He backed Russia. He has slept with the invader, now he can rot with him.
