To be or not to be the base of the Armed Forces of Russia in Belarus? Asked the Ambassador of the Republic of Belarus

63
The Belarusian ambassador to the Russian Federation, the next official of the Republic of Belarus, had to answer a question related to rumors about the “probability” of deploying a Russian military base in Belarus. We will remind that earlier the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus Vladimir Makei answered the same question. A few weeks ago, Mackey, at a press conference in Brussels, commenting on a question on the Russian military base, replied: "Nothing is impossible."

To be or not to be the base of the Armed Forces of Russia in Belarus? Asked the Ambassador of the Republic of Belarus




At the same time, the head of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry added that Belarus cannot but be alarmed by Poland’s requests to deploy an American division on its territory.

Makey:
Today we do not want to deploy new foreign military bases on our territory. But we must take into account the steps our neighbors will take.


Journalists then caught on to the word "new".

At the same time, the ambassador of the Republic of Belarus in Moscow, Igor Petrishenko, quoted by RIA News, noted that the topic of creating a base of the Armed Forces in Belarus "has now gone and has not been updated."

At one time, President of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko noted that the military base of the Russian Armed Forces in Belarus "does not need either Belarus or Russia itself." According to him, this topic is “artificially inflated by the mass media - first of all the Russian ones”. Lukashenka also noted that Belarus does not need Russian military pilots, since “they have their own”, but they need Russian aircraft from Belarus.

    Our boobies are afraid of something. There is no way to give an opportunity to deploy the base, it would be good for Belarus and Russia. We are partners. We are used to only giving Russia for nothing, because there is no money to maintain it. And so, the interception of NATO aircraft was earlier, and the degree of mistrust of the Russian leadership decreased (well, it’s like we’re friends and somehow we are not friendly, for Russia, this is one of the strategic areas of cover, plus one more normal military airfield, not to mention that he was supported not for our money, not to mention additional jobs, and Russia always pays for the arena, by the way, the latter could not be taken at all, because it’s mutually beneficial).

          While the Old Man is in power, no Russian bases in Belarus are needed, and if his opponents replace the Old Man, the base of the Russian Federation will be expelled in a moment, there will be some expenses in the net .... There is the Kaliningrad region, which is more significant and important, as in Baltka, and closer to the Western "partners", and rely on it .. By creating bases in Belarus, we will give pretext to all enemies, and if there is no need, then why help enemy propaganda.

            The problem is that this “Old Man” requires huge investments in Belarus from the union state. And who will give them without military-political guarantees? The military base is precisely the guarantee that Russian investments in Belarus will not be plundered in the same way as in Ukraine.

    Well, frankly, I do not see the expediency of deploying the Russian contingent in Belarus. The Belarusian army is self-sufficient, the defense industry is well developed. And in the event of NATO aggression, the flight time of our combat aircraft is calculated in minutes. We can always cover from our territory. The exercises need to be carried out more often jointly with live firing and KShU. It’s enough that we are allies and fraternal peoples, we won’t give offense, We will rise as one.

    Belarusian laws are such that the Belarusian army cannot act outside the country. NATO knows this and, in the event of an attack on Russia, will act to bypass Belarus. And in this case, the aerospace forces located there will greatly spoil the life of NATO members. It turns out Rygorych fulfills the will of NATO.
    And Belarus still will not be left out. She will be attacked when the Russian army is linked by hostilities.
    Such a policy does not bring a positive result.

    Everything is simple! So much so that any cleverness on this issue is completely inappropriate! In order to understand whether the base of the Russian Aerospace Forces is needed (just one and it turns out to be unnecessary), fill in the request in the search engine, which group was located in the BSSR and covered this really strategic direction! No need to even pay attention to the missile parts. Look only at fighters, interceptors and bombers! And then take a look at what the “self-sufficient" Belarusian army has now! Lukashenka’s peacemaker deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, I’ll tell you far ahead of any trumps! This is a pacifist, which simply does not happen! But he is! Russia in Belarus already has a whole radio engineering center and another naval communications center! ALL! In this case, the first can be easily taken out. in Russia, because of "sincere" allied relations, these funds are covered in the direction with analogues, which, as you know, costs money ... I’m interested in asking for self-sufficiency of the Belarusian army from what or for whom ?! Reading the heroic statements of the Belarusian comrades that we are the first to join the battle and keep the enemy to the last bullet, and you come-fly and immediately enter the battle against the enemy demoralized by Belarusian heroism, you can only grin wryly! Tell me, precious ones, is it even possible to seriously comment on this ?! There is nothing to say about the wonderful Belarusian pilots. Where did they show their skills ?! Can they help us somewhere? Allies zhezh! The main Belarusian peacekeeper in general at the legislative level has banned the use of armed forces abroad! From sin! Let's just say that the whole policy of Belarus in the outside world is to blackmail the West by rapprochement with Russia in the military component! He blackmails Russia from time to time with a multi-vector policy, etc. etc. After the epic flight of Russian helicopters over the Kerch Strait for Lukashenko, this situation became a nightmare from which he jumps up sometimes at night screaming ... Remember the video clip when the guys apparently take off dozens of Russian helicopters flying directly over the Kerch Strait waves? The picture is bewitching and one says to the other, damn couple, I will point !!!!!!
    What is the base of the Russian Aerospace Forces in Belarus ?! I beg of you! Get up at night and go to the balcony to smoke. Listen. And maybe you will hear from that side where the Allied Belarus is screaming, squeezed in the night - damn couple, I’ll point out !!!
