American observer: Putin has not won anywhere for a long time and may introduce "green men" to Belarus

Against the background of the well-known events in Belarus, the US raised the question of what the options for the development of these events might be. On the one hand, the opposition forces actively supported by the West are fighting against the incumbent President Alexander Lukashenko, on the other hand, there are a number of countries, including Russia, China and Turkey, whose heads have recognized Lukashenko as the elected head of state.

Against this background, American observer Kiron Skinner from TNI asks the question of whether Belarus will become a “second Crimea”? Skinner tells readers that Alexander Lukashenko has been in power for 26 years and does not intend to part with his chair for the next at least 5 years.



With his phrases about Lukashenka, the American observer makes it clear his attitude towards the Belarusian president:

The opposition forces are clearly tired of Lukashenka's brutal and corrupt regime.

At the same time, The National Interest reminds of Lukashenka's notorious “multi-vector” nature. It is noted that before the elections, he first accused Russia of allegedly trying to interfere in the internal affairs of the republic, now switched to accusations against the West, calling Russia a strategic ally.

Against this background, the American author states that "the likelihood of a Russian invasion of Belarus remains very high, since Vladimir Putin does not want Belarus to leave the zone of Russian influence."

The author claims that Russia "can take advantage of the Belarusian protests and the imposed Western sanctions to declare the need to restore political stability."

From the article:

In the operation on the territory of Belarus, Putin can use the "green men".

The author further explains that the "green men" are the servicemen of the Russian army, "acting on the Crimean model."
From the material:

Putin desperately needs to win somewhere. He had not won anywhere for a long time.

Summing up his "opus", the American author writes that the West "must not allow a Russian invasion of Belarus."

Apparently, the American author does not consider the millions of dollars of actual financing of the Belarusian protest to be a Western invasion (interference) in Belarus to open pressure on Belarus from the Western authorities.

        The Belarusians themselves will never, never decide anything, like any other nation. It is always those who manage these situations that decide. In this case, the west, Luka, the Kremlin. The role of the Belarusian people is the same as any other organizing unrest, coup, revolution, etc.

            I read it, I look much less often ... and I don't see that the opposition would appeal against the results of the protocols at the polling stations in any significant amount.
            But it looks different - op, about 700 lawsuits for elections, i.e. - the pencil was not lying like that, the member of the commission looked askance at me and so on, but only this is not at all a recount of votes, which, according to the electoral code of the Republic of Belarus, could become the basis for canceling the elections. And on this basis, I come to the conclusion that the "opposition" is reliably aware of its loss, and therefore depicts dancing with tambourines in an attempt to catch a fish in troubled water.

            Speaking on Monday in Jerusalem at a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Pompeo assured the Israeli leader that despite the conclusion of deals with the UAE for the supply of modern weapons, the United States will continue to maintain Israel's military superiority in the Middle East.

            The Republic of Belarus is a presidential republic with a bicameral parliament.
            The parties are missing completely.
            There is no ruling party and no systemic opposition.

    American columnist Kieron Skinner from TNI, to put it mildly, is playing Vanka, obviously deliberately not mentioning that in the Crimea, in addition to "green men" [should read - "polite people" smile ] there was also an almost nationwide approval by the Crimeans of their (polite people) actions. Unfortunately, this is not the case in Belarus. And the scale of the Republic of Belarus and the Republic of Crimea are incomparable in all positions - they have very different "weight categories".

    The opposition forces are clearly tired of Lukashenka's brutal and corrupt regime.

    What kind of "opposition forces" are they? A group of disgruntled passers-by were provided with money with posters and training manuals and sent with sticks under the riot police? The opposition is a political force, party, movement that has some kind of political program and a vision of a reasonable political perspective for the people it leads. In Belarus, there is something like a well-financed coup d'etat, in which the main politicians and their goals have been overshadowed by active actions by groups of "hooligans" organized by external forces.
    In the operation on the territory of Belarus, Putin can use the "green men".

    Can. Or it can attract aliens (for a long time something has not been heard from them about Putin's connection with alien intelligence) wassat Everyone is trying to bring something creative to the whipping up of the US-Russian relationship.

Dear Americans from the United States, I can reassure you and bring you to your attention - Putin has recently won a popular vote on amendments to the Constitution and now his "aggressiveness is resting." Little green men are not expected in Belarus in the coming days ... you'd better be afraid that little green men would "help" your American police to defend American democracy from black rebels and marauders.

    There are six management priorities. War is the very last priority and only go down to it when the war on the highest priorities is lost. Putin won another victory on the higher priorities of managing humanity (what is it - there is infa on the internet).

    strange and primitive these Americans. Does not understand that Putin and Russia are guided by the old Eastern wisdom, which says that you cannot enter the same river twice. Therefore
    all the victories of Russia in the international arena under Putin are permanent, exclusive and not formulaic.
    In the victory to save Ossetia and Abkhazia from the Georgian genocide, Russia acted and achieved victory
    one way. By saving Syria from American bombing and by the destruction of the ISIS created by the Americans in Syria, Putin achieved victory in a different way. When rescuing the inhabitants of Crimea, rescuing the Black Sea Fleet and returning Crimea to Russia, Putin achieved the third victory
    way. By the way, Crimea was the most desirable geopolitical and military foothold not
    only for the leader of the NATO-US Army, but also for one of the NATO-Army units of Turkey. And nothing
    Putin arranged everything without firing a single shot and Crimea is already in Russia.
    And the Americans do not admit that until now in Belarus there has been no pro-Lukoshensky and pro-Russian
    political party. Now Lukoshenko is obliged to create such a party, so that later it will dominate in
    The parliament made a decision on the full-fledged entry of Belarus into Russia. Not in some kind of union
    a state with Russia, but a part of Russia. There will also be a Republic of Belarus, just like which one would not be the Republic of Tatarstan or the Republic of Kalmykia within the Russian Federation. And so gradually
    a new formation of the Russian Empire will be created. Later, there will be no national republics in the Empire. Only provinces with provincial boundaries in terms of territorial, geographic,
    economic and defense benefits. But this is my personal opinion, and how Putin is going to achieve victory in Belarus, only he himself with Lavrov, Shoigu and Bortnikov knows. But victory will be for Russia
    achieved under the rule of Putin in Russia and under the rule of Lukoshenka in Belarus. A lot of time wasted, but
    and there is enough time left until the end of their presidency. Both must enter the history of Russia
