“Russia is setting a monstrous precedent for itself. It just allows China to watch the events calmly now. And it seems to me that in the strategic perspective, Russia is threatened by the eastern front, when China will have bigger claims for the Mongoloid lands than Russia's ability to defend them.
The Russian leadership does not think strategically, it bites like a dog, grabs this Ukraine, behaves shamelessly with it. They do not remember the fate of Hitler. When the Allies opened a second front, Hitler died because he could not work on two fronts. And here a similar situation may develop for Russia in the strategic plan. And the strategic education of people like Putin is very poor. Because he graduated from the lower KGB school, and then he already held the highest positions due to some kind of trust, including Yeltsin's trust. This trust was deceived.
And Lukashenka will do everything that Putin orders. Otherwise, Putin will not give loans, and Lukashenka will go bankrupt completely. For Putin, this is a small handout, it is a penny compared to the military spending on Ukraine. Therefore, Lukashenka will do as Putin commands, he will toe the line.”
