Lukashenko’s army is not loyal and will not fight for him. Lukashenko is saying this, faking that he just might fight Ukraine, to curry favor with Bad Vlad.
Lukashenko seems to confab with Vlad every few months. A few weeks ago he met with Vlad at Vlad’s sumptuous Sochi compound. Lukashenko feels that he is trying to sooth a little Napolean head case. But the food and liquor is good, so there is an upside for him. Especially when a few whores are part of Lukashenko’s entertainment.
As provocative as locking your doors and owning a firearm. It only provokes the criminal mind, with evil intent. Which fits Putin and his KGB flunkies.
