    Time to reignite this I think. Lukashenko warning Poland he is struggling to restrain Wagner fighters from invading Poland. Go and let them, Poland wouldn’t even need NATO to beat Wagner man. As for Belarus, them ****ers couldn’t even take Millwall, ****ing nonentity. If that was their “special forces” indeed being trained instead of some fat blokes who have just fell out of the pub, I wouldn’t be too scared

    Poland could take Belarus and Wagner.

    Some boy Putin, that would put Nato all the way down his western border apart from Ukraine wouldn't it.

    Putin has probably agreed with Wagner guy and Lukashenko that Wagner will attack just across the border. This to draw fire from the Poles , which will then be claimed to have incurred into Belarus.
    Putin gets an attack on Poland , Lukashenko gets to say that Belarus has been attacked so he has the right to send in his army , whilst both say it’s not their fault as they had no control over the actions of a private army .

    Exactly it, however that would also be seen as an attack on NATO. If Belarus attacked Poland, they would just need to send in Year 11s from Warsaws worst girls school to defeat them. Could Russia afford another frontline? I doubt it very much, so he will gladly get tens of thousands of Belarusians killed cos he certainly doesn’t give a **** about Russians being fodder. That fat aged Rene from Allo Allo lookalike puppet can’t even see it.

    Yes Rene is sh@t scared of Putin and will do anything for him , he also revels in thinking he has the support and protection of Russia , and behaves like the little runt of the bully gang who acts hard because he’s the pal of the gang leader

    If any attack on Poland happened then admit Ukraine straight into Nato. Putin can’t have it both ways.

    They’ve made thinly veiled threats against the UK every time we’ve done something to help Ukraine. This is all they’re doing with Poland.

    Russia isn't capable of attacking Poland any more. That would bring all of NATO in and it would be over in a fortnight.

    If there was a way to do it without looking like the aggressor we'd have done it already.

    Imo, if conventional weapons only, then

    72 hours if NATO got involved. Air superiority alone would have Russia running from Ukraine after 48 hours.

    Belarus wouldn't last long, they'd have a rebellion as soon as their military got hit.

    Poland wouldn’t need nato assistance as they would defeat Russia and Belarus by theirselves, I’d also go as far as to say they’re dying to get involved as they hate the Russians

    It looks as though Russia now has a 'Second Front' to fight,

    We must remember that they are now running a Western Style Ecomomy on much the same lines as our own.
    And the value of The Rouble dropped significantly after The War started.
    It did however start to creep back up, but now ot is back to square one for them.

    Their Central Bank has just raised their Base Rate by 3.5%, to 12.5%.
    The embargos are biting already.
    There have been a number of 'suggestions', from leading Economists around the World, that the economic data issued by The Russian Government does not bear scrutiny.
    This latest step tends to confirm these doubts.

    Does this matter?
    Imagine what such hike in Interest Rates would mean to Public Opinion, here in UK.

    It all adds to the pressure building up, internaly.
