Current Affairs Ukraine

Remember this is being said by people in opposition to the Belarusian government, they’re not going to have access to the countries satellite system are they? If this is not true who would gain from saying it? What would be the point? I don’t find it so hard to believe that a population that voted it’s leader out 6 months ago but are still ruled by him against their will would look to disrupt the forces of the country that keep that leader in power, their fight for freedom is aligned with that of Ukraines.

Who said anything about their satellite system? I meant the publicly available satellite coverage (as well as the military systems, not to mention all the other technical and other intelligence sources available to the governments watching this).

We should bomb Belarus, like straight away if they set foot in Ukraine. Show Vlad what we are about

Arm the democratic leadership in exile and surgically open the detention centres. He needed Russian help to contain them unarmed let them, the Belarusian people, be a fifth column.

Bombing Belarus = war with Russia as they have a mutual defense agreement.

Images or not do you find it so unbelievable that the Belarusian populous would sabotage the supply line of a military force that props up an unelected government that rules them by force?

This didnt happen, The Irish bow to our Queen.

Used to be a regular at home and away league of Ireland games back in the 90's. It was always great fun to chant "what's it like to have a Queen" at Derry City fans. good times!

Maybe not but if reports are to be believed Russia have asked and Belarus are not to keen, that won’t go down to well with their masters.

Eh?

Lads, the war in Ireland is over. Let's try and keep moving forward.

Oh, I totally agree. It was more the element of why it was being mentioned.

Lukashenko knows he is finished if he sends his army to Ukraine. He will be overthrown in about 10 seconds flat

Mate I could go on for ages about my family's role in the War of Independence. More poignantly my wife's family was on the opposite side in the Civil War that followed. My great uncle was executed by the Free State army aged 24.

Politics just doesn't enter our marriage except peripherally, but we are together 32 years and genuinely have never had a political row.

We each do our own thing when it comes to elections or referendums. The bottom line is we love each other.

As posted elsewhere probably my best mate is an East Belfast Glentoran fan who used to vote for Paisley. I suspect his mother still votes DUP. Yet we have all been close friends since 87- even longer than I have known my wife.

Human love should always triumph over hatred and resentment.

The past is truly a foreign country.

That’s not confirmation though, is it? I mean look at when train services are messed up here, everyone knows it, it’s obvious. If this has happened it should be really easy to see; loads of trains will be backed up, services will be announced cancelled and so on. I think it’s incumbent on those saying this to prove it, to be honest.

Don't compare any ex-or-current soviet state's trains to Britain's, please! You don't know what pain is ffs lol

Anyway, the website for the railway (rw.by) is shockingly not working, and the same information that they've sabotaged however they can has surfaced pretty much anywhere. I know it's not great and concrete, but it's better than just any hints.
