That Belarus would needlessly attack Ukraine, was uncredible. That russia stages a false flag attack to provoke Belarus is credible. Putin did massacre his own people and kids in schools to justify intervention in Chechnya.

Do not think Lukashenko is stupid, he knows he would lose with his army and that would mean his own end.

Russia never gives free gifts. Russian troops are in the country. Nukes. Now Wagners. The officer corps must be under Russian pressure, or gets bribed.
If not with Lukashenko, then without him, is Putlers reasoning.

We can only make qualified guesses based on what we know so far when it comes to the relationship between Russia and Belarus.
Why hasn't Belarus joined the Russian 3 days crusade in Ukraine ? Why did Lukashenko allow nukes to be installed in his country and being controlled by Russia ? A.s.o. Markus

^ because he had no choice or saying in this.
The second he disagrees officially with Putin he's toast. You have to imagine russian troops started invading Ukraine (trying to take Kyiv and kill Zelensky) from Belarus.

As Skybird wrote I also think that they are trying a false flag attack, some border incident or some assassination in Belarus they will blame on Poland or any of the baltic states. There were the helicopters violating polish airspace and now Putin is staging a military drill in the Baltic sea are.
Still I wonder why Ras-Putin is still trying to justify any of his deeds, I take it his own people do not believe all this bullsh!t anymore. If Putin believes his own narrative he is not the brightest candle on the cake.

Now I think the exercise is to show Poland and the Baltic that he is prepared to use force if they try something. Could also be a preparation for what's coming-I.e a false flag operation in Belarus. Markus

"Like past Chinese leaders, Xi respects strength but knows how to exploit weakness, and Russia will remain useful to him as he continues to challenge the United States. Mr. Putin can still make major strategic choices for his country, as long as they coincide with China’s interests. But will China stand by him if those interests diverge? Or if Russian elites run out of patience with his poor decisions and try to push him out? Or if the global costs of standing with him prove too onerous for China?" https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/23/o...-cold-war.html
