Lukashenko has never threatened anyone. He is popular with his people and US foreign policy should concern itself with other more urgent matters like islamic extremists instead of still trying to overthrow Russia to sieze her riches.
The White Russians are only trying to protect themselves. All they have to do is look west to Yugoslavia and see what the US did and no wonder they are scared and want to go into a union with Russia.
Either for or against the terrorists. Belarus has been linked to funding and helping terrorism and al qaeda.
Cold war fossiles? What makes you think the cold war is over? Isn't the WTC enough of evidence that the cold war is going stronger than ever?
You got some guts to ask Helms to repent for his mentality when Russia has never repented on its past and keeps prosecuting the west. At least Helms is not asking us to play Russian roulette and make policies according to guesses about the cold war. He substantiate his claims on the actions of Belarus, an analytical observation of Belarus' moves, past crimes and what not.
AMERICA NEEDS TO GET A GRIP!
The Russian reaction is proof positive they are attacking our own internal policy and personal members of congress, unrepentant, asking us to repent. Whoever accepts Russia's trash better go see a doctor.
