Russia's War Against Ukraine

[JasonPratt]

Meanwhile, the White Russian President says, "Mobilization, Schmobilization, or Words to That Effect."

He better stay away from windows or yachts for a while.

"He tripped and fell out the window of his yacht, five times!"  >:D

[Sir Slash]

And tea. Or anything not in a enclosed, tamper-proof container. Hell, I wouldn't even trust Mother's Milk straight from the source if I were him.  :hide:

the Poles really really hate him.

If he did it wouldn't happen to a more deserving scumbag. 

Lukashenko has overseen his fair share of assassinations, false imprisonments, sham votes and has supported and directly implemented the murder rape and torture of dissidents, including children. 

He almost makes Putin look like a warm and fuzzy softie by comparison.   This war is seeming a bit too much for him though.  He usually tries not to make his masters in Moscow too angry, but the alternative here is Belarus getting dragged into a conflict that it really doesn't have the military or economic power to prosecute.

Christ! -- they made him look like Captain Picard! Considering the current state of Kurtzman-Trek, that's a damnable insult...  >:D

He doesn't want to lose his yacht

Lukashenko is the scumbag who had his Migs force down an Irish (RyanAir) airliner traveling between NATO countries last year so his secret police could drag a dissident off the plane and into jail.

Yep.

And he authorizes and endorses the Belorussian KGB to use sexual assault, including against the young children of dissidents as an intimidation tactic. 

The KGB HQ in Minsk mirrors some of the deep, dank horrors of of the Gulag Archipelago.  They proudly brandish the KGB name in an effort to horrify his enemies. 

He's one of Europe's most vicious monsters.

so this is a thing in russia...   :hide:

Mobilisation is worrying many Russians. But not Vera: "I'd be much happier if my son got wounded fighting in Ukraine than die of alcoholism here," she tells me. Our latest report from Moscow as the draft continues.

That's always been a thing in Russia.
