Here we go again-Ukraine once again

[Skybird]

Rumour has it that Lukashenko had a heart attack. A rumour so far, and in no way do I tend to believe it or not believe it. The mood in belarus and its army seems to be not in favour of the war. Any successor or puppet would face the same problem like Lukashenko: not pissing Putin too much while needing to do a dangerous balance act and keeping Belarus out of the war. At least in an active role. And the last thing Putin now needs is pushing it too far with Belarus and facing a Belarus openly resisting his political will. There even is a small but realistic chance for military revolt if Belarus enters the war actively.

How long does it take Ukraine to produce such a tank under the current economical and logistical conditions? Will it play a role in this running war or is it a longterm strategy for the time after the war?

Just five minutes old but doesn't really add anything of substance.

Belarus' leader Alexander Lukashenko has missed a major state celebration, further fuelling health speculation.

The autocratic president, 68, usually speaks publicly at the annual National Flag, Emblem and Anthem Day event but his prime minister read a message on his behalf on Sunday.

Last week, Mr Lukashenko left Moscow soon after Victory Day parade, skipping lunch with President Vladimir Putin.

Mr Lukashenko looked visibly tired, and his right hand was bandaged.

He was last seen in public laying flowers in the capital Minsk during Belarus' own Victory Day celebrations on 9 May - a few hours after returning from the Russian capital.

An opposition Telegram channel reported that Mr Lukashenko visited a presidential medical centre just outside Minsk on Saturday night - but this information has not been independently verified.

Mr Lukashenko's office has so far made no comments on the issue.

I wonder what would happen if Putin tried to bring Belarus back into the Russian Empire, the cat would really be amongst the pigeons then, it sounds like a step too far even for Putin but, desperate times calls for desperate measures.

With Lukashenko out of the way he may one day try it, but with Lukashenko... Luka resisted Putin so far and made some daring diplomatic manouvers to say No to him without saying No to him. The mood ion the army and amongst people is against the war and probably against the Russians as well, remember that Lukashenko had to massively "correct" last elections' results to stay in power.

The nice thing about the Russian forces for which I really feel thankful towards them is the fact that in their leadership scumbag fights against scumbag.

Now the rumour is that Lukashenko is either dead or in Coma.

The hospital may want to check for any poisons and toxins.
