I truly believe that these guys have been telling each other the same lies over and over for years and they actually believe them. It resembles a religious cult, similar to Nazism...they don't live in the same world we do, they have their own world view and fully believe it.

Must be a reason that Putin did not allow Lavrov to fly to Geneva in a Russian diplomatic plane, so Lavrov had to give the weak and untrue (for diplomats) excuse that Russian planes are banned from Switzerland.

| | Re: World War 3 or just a local spat in Ukraine? Belarus joins Russia’s war on Ukraine
This is becoming surreal in a really bad way. The whole world will be watching two bullies beat up the good guy and won't intervene because they made a pinky-swear not to enter into fights.
If not NATO, individual countries should be able to take out the Belarus army.

Putler describes him well enough. | Quote: | |  | | | Belarus army is about 17k persons | | | | | Wiki disagrees with you. Close to 50k. More importantly, this is irrelevant, what's relevant is yet another grotesque breach of international agreements and invading with 0 provocation.

| | | | | I was thinking the same. Not sure of the possible repercussions from both Russia/Belarus and other countries.
Hungary, for example appears to be up to it's old tactics of hedging it's bets by both agreeing to EU sanctions but blocking weapons movements to Ukraine forces across it's borders.

Aeroflot’s planes are mostly Bermuda (VP/VQ), S7’s are Irish (EI).

Now they will punish common folks and their kiddos for mistakes of their leaders. They won’t be able to watch their favorite Disney’s movies. That will isolate them from the world of truth completely.

That's hillarious:
Everything said by this man was taught to the kids of the 7th-11th grade in the whole Russia during the special "lesson of peace" today. If you want you can read the guidelines for teachers using Google Translate.

Cannot believe this is escalating so fast. Really hope that the recklessness doesn’t go anywhere near Chenobyl.
I was in Manchester and passed the demo for support and solidarity to Ukraine. Many grief stricken faces.
What is wrong with the world .
