  • Russia is using Belarusian territory to invade Ukraine.
  • Ukrainians are bolstering their defences between Belarus and Kiyev to prevent previous year scenario.
  • Russian puppet in Belarus claims that Ukrainian defensive tactics "imposes a risk for Belarus"... 🤦 Yeah - if russian army wouldn't be able to invade Ukraine then that will probably just take over Minsk and enact Belarus as their own Oblast.

zedemer t1_j9f1l3j wrote

Exactly my thoughts. If Belarus would kick the Russian army out of its territory, they'd be no reason to mobilize at the border. And I'm sure Ukraine would be happy to have one less front to worry about

Louisvanderwright t1_j9gddds wrote

Honestly there's less and less of a reason for Ukraine not to just push Russia out of Moldova and then Belarus.

zedemer t1_j9ges00 wrote

Despite Russia's general incompetence, it's hard enough as it is for Ukraine to defend its territory. Going through Moldova and Belarus would be a death sentence as the Russian propaganda puppets there would decry it as an invasion by Ukraine and how Russia was right all along. And I'm fairly certain Ukraine would stop receiving outside help at that point as well.

ajaxfetish t1_j9h12j2 wrote

In Moldova, there's the possibility they are invited in by the Moldovan government, removing the risk of losing western support. And if successful, it would make for a more stable Moldova, and a western border that doesn't require as much of a military presence from Ukraine any longer.

Do we as western nations allow the gang up on Ukraine to continue if Belarus joins the fight? Where do we draw a line , because otherwise the support would be for nothing. Kind of escalation path I hate to see.. .

Well judging by the surprise visit, which is super non standard, and his message being were in it for as long as it takes.

Were prolly sending them fighter jets soon.

Idk if the US puts boots on ground. But theyre assessing and giving weapons in return for everytime putin escalates.

Belarus isnt the issue. Its china. If china backs russia its gonna get crazy.

It's always been China. Putin is nothing more than a guinea-pig here. Xi wanted to see what the west would do and convinced Putin to launch his invasion. Had it gone well Taiwan would already have fallen.

Taiwan is a hell of a lot more prepared than Ukraine was just in general. I think China only moves on Taiwan if they feel like it'll receive zero help in any form.

TheNBGco t1_j9feeyw wrote

Taiwan is a redline. I guess china could just blast it to bits but thats war.

Those semi conductors are very important to USA military equipment. Need them for our jets/subs/nukes/radars everything.

Without those were pretty screwed short term.

And one thing USA doesnt mess with is its military.

My thinking is it took nearly a year for Russia to attack ukraine.

I feel tho China has determined it is entering in the next year or so and Russia is now prolonging the war trying to get the WEST to use up as much ammunition as possible and take out what they can.

Russia is still trying to take Maldova even while getting their shit kicked in. That doesnt tell me deescalation is coming.

But im just a smoothed brain ape and never been in military. I do study psychology and like making my best guess on how people will respond. I think theyre waiting.

And i think everyone who has written russia off will be mistaken.

Why arent we allowing them to strike moscow or inside russia with the weapons we give ?

Why are we holding out jets ?

What took so long to send tanks ?

Why are our leaders worried about escalating. They know something we dont.

China will back Russia, they always play the waiting game. But they can't afford loosing Russia as a dictator partner. What if Russia looses and breaks up, or the current government will get ousted by revolutionairy people smelling a chance of regime change in a more democratic way. That is a scenario China really want to avoid. So they will pitch in sooner or later I guess..

Sassybeagle t1_j9h62k7 wrote

The US and EU are massive buyers of Chinese goods and services. China won’t do anything to destroy their own economy since that would tank their entire country. Russia cannot make up for the net loss that China’s economy would be hit and without that massive economy, there would be massive unrest. China’s been shrewd about playing the long game for its entire existence and there isn’t anything that would screw them over as much as a direct confrontation with the West.

AppearanceOk4030 t1_j9ewvbi wrote

The way authoritarian countries flip the narrative for their own benefit, making them look like defenseless victims, is simply astounding. Belarus is the country from which some of the missile strikes have been launched, which means Lukashenko had his hand in the ongoing war, but he still tries to cheat his people into believing Russia and Belarus are the righteous ones. Amazing... Truly.

> Belarus allowed Russia to use its territory as a launch pad for the invasion of Ukraine a year ago, and President Alexander Lukashenko said last week it was ready to do so again.

> Kyiv has voiced concerns for months that Belarus could join the war on Russia's side, a potential threat that has forced it to divert troops to defend the north of Ukraine while waging war with Russia in the east and south.

> On Monday, President Joe Biden made a surprise visit to Kyiv to send a message of the United States' "enduring support" for Ukraine and announce further military aid for the army of Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
