“Lukashenko Is Too Afraid For His Own Skin”

Belarusians are refusing to fight for the dictator.

A Threads user with the username nastyadolgova7 addressed Belarusians and asked their opinion on Russia using our country’s territory for a new invasion of Ukraine.

“Dear Belarusians, how do you feel about the news of a possible offensive from your country into northern Ukraine?” she writes. “I love your language, your country, your cities, and I really hope that Belarusians won’t do this. But maybe there’s something I don’t know.”
Belarusians responded to the author of the post. The website Charter97.org lists the most popular comments:
— Belarusians won’t go. They didn’t go for it in 2022. They didn’t go for it when Putin tried to convince them several times. In Belarus, there are a couple of dozen thousand hardened, jaded Lukashenko scoundrels. But there aren’t that many of them. They might go, but if he lets them in, who will be left to defend this washed-up Lukashenko? So the probability is very low. But Lukashenko might once again allow his country to be used as a transit route. That’s possible.

— I understand, maybe I’m naive and still believe too much in my people. But I believe that if that mustachioed man gives people weapons, they’ll turn against him. He knows this well and is very afraid. That’s why I’m mostly waiting for him to start wriggling like a snake to prove to Ukraine that he is generally “against the war” and “always talked Putin out of invading.”

— Lukashenko won’t use the Belarusian army, and granting a new passage for Russian troops could trigger the collapse of the Belarusian economy. Ukraine has already shown how well it operates with medium-range drones.
— The Belarusian army is unlikely to go, because Lukashenko is too afraid for his own skin, but a passage for the Russian army is quite possible. Whether it’s the Belarusian or Russian army—I have the same attitude toward it as most Belarusians do, but Belarusians from Belarus won’t write to you about this because, for them, speaking out against the war could end in imprisonment. After World War II, the Russians shouted, “We can do it again,” while the Belarusians, who lost nearly one in three people, say, “Never again.”

— Belarus has no proper air defense system, and Ukraine knows the locations of strategic facilities. 500 drones and a few missiles—and Belarus’s economy is finished.
— Belarusians never went. Only one mustachioed vassal went.
