At some point Ukraine will stop putting up with Belarus being used as a staging ground to attack Ukraine.
The sooner the better. Was thinking today, that Lukashenko has no doors for escape, the west & his own people want him to fall, meanwhile, Putin is breathing behind his neck.
Very risky move on the part of Belarus. Lukashenko is only in power because Vlad sent Russian troops to put down the unrest. They don't like Lukashenko, and they want Russia to leave them alone, and have zero desire to go to war with Ukraine. The military's loyalty to Lukashenko or Putin is very, very shaky to non-existent. Plus Putin has Kazakhstan over on his other flank now, openly preparing to resist any movements into that country. Ukraine knows all this, and they are somewhat sympathetic to the vast network collaborators and underground resisters in Belarus that are helping Ukraine. But, at the same time if they cross the border they are preparing to kill vast numbers if that is the way the Belarus prefer to get the message. There is no satisfaction in seeing all those Belarus kids and old men get slaughtered. The regular people in Belarus don't want to fight Ukraine, and the soldiers don't either. Just Lukashenko and Putin and their immediate circles. They are not on a big heavy Russia World trip 24/7 the way the Russians are.
Again huge explosion of ammunition depot in Crimea today. Railway station probably destroyed, blocking Russian military transport for future. Massive explosion rocks Crimea in suspected Ukraine attack on Russian ammo dump. https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/ukraine-attacks-russian-ammo-dump-crimea-huge-explosion/ And yesterday was not a very good day for the Wagner group: https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/ukraine-wagner-mercenary-hq-location/ Ukraine blows up Russia's 'Wagner mercenary HQ' after street sign gives away location Russian war reporter Sergei Sreda is believed to have revealed the location of the Wagner mercenary HQ in a Telegram post on 8 August. The shadowy paramilitary group of mercenaries is used to fight wars on behalf of the Kremlin. Sreda's post read: "Arrived at Popasnaya, stopped at the headquarters of the 'PMC Wagner'. I was welcomed as family. "Told me some funny stories." Photos of the HQ visit showed a sign identifying the address as Mironovskaya 12, Popasna as well as Sreda allegedly shaking hands with Wagner owner Yevgeny Prigozhin. Prigozhin is a close confidante of Vladimir Putin who has been sanctioned by the West - he has been nicknamed 'Putin's chef' as his catering business is known to help the Russian president. The post was later removed, but copies continued to circulate on social media.

Comrades.... rush to sign up now. Especially those who post Putin bootlicker propaganda on ET from the Kremlin troll farm in St. Petersburg.
Again new airbase bombed in Crimea today! https://www.reuters.com/world/europ...se-gvardeyskoye-crimea-kommersant-2022-08-16/ Plumes of smoke seen at Russian military airbase in Gvardeyskoye, Crimea
Its not really phenomenal how much debt we have in the US considering we are the world’s reserve currency. To be a reserve currency there must be debt. And this will blow your mind too, there isn’t enough dollars in the world currently. We have a presidential democracy with an electoral college and a bicameral legislative branch. It is imperfect. Where we have excelled previously is in the rule of law. This is what separates great nations from weak nations. This is where our current weakness is in America. The rule of law is under political attack for some years now. And that’s the truth. Militarily, we are relatively stronger than ever. We will crush any other nation on this planet faster and with more devastation than ever. Literally, no one stands a chance. Economically, by every metric we are stronger than ever as well. We do fail with basic quality of life issues like systemic poverty and income mobility. But in total we dominate the worlds markets. The world is your oyster if you have dollars. Internally, the lies and misinformation is taking its toll on our institutions from health to justice to elections and everything in between. Significant portions of the country want to take down basic institutions to fit a political agenda instead of an American agenda. This is our weakness if you must know.
