Thanks a lot, Lukashenko! | Eastern Express

In this episode, Benjamin Lee dives into Belarus' controversial decision to suspend its participation in the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe. Why has Belarus, under Aleksander Lukashenko, chosen to step away from this crucial arms control agreement, and what does it mean for the already simmering tensions in Eastern Europe? Join us as we explore the implications of this move and the oddities of international military politics.

Lukashenko's capabilities? As far as I know, his forces are capable of brutalizing defenseless women on the streets, but fighting a war? That is a stretch.

I really don't think the 'Powers That Be' want to close the loopholes in the sanctions. Certain people make too much money and I think it makes it easier for them to track where stuff goes if they limit the routes available.

Belarus will do well without him ,i heard the majority don't want him they are pressured to like him like Putin

The dynamics of the "Ukrainian War" will continue to expand. That leaves the whole Eastern flank up to Russian aggression and mostly direct attack.

Please consider electromagnetic heating from the sun as a much more likely cause for global warming. This also explains why the Poles are warming faster even though they have almost no CO2 increase.

[@cherylk.2474]

It would be interesting to research if there have been temperature increases on Mars.

[@user-ph5ys7ed7i]

Ukraine should be provided with an enough fighter aircraft to form airforce, such as F-16s and longer-range precision munitions, including ATACMS (more of them, and the longest-range versions should be sent to them), and the russian military facilities inside of russian territory should be considered legitimate targets. It is worth noting that support for military aid to Ukraine in America is over 80% and increasing. This is because Americans understand that not only is aiding Ukraine the morally right thing to do, it is the practical thing to do also. America has spent something like approximately 6% of our military budget so far to aid Ukraine.. However, more than half of the russian army has been destroyed. This is a tremendous bargain by any measure! In addition, when russia is defeated in this war, their barbaric ideology of imperialism will also be defeated, making Europe a much more peaceful and stable place for decades - as well as preventing a new arms race in the region. That is why billions of dollars spent today to aid Ukraine saves trillions of dollars tomorrow. The vast majority of Americans understand this fact.. Americans also want Ukrainian military and civilian casualties minimized. This is why Americans are correct to support providing military aid to Ukraine. Please write to your elected representatives to request this military aid. If you are an American citizen, please consider writing to President Biden and your other elected representatives, and demand Ukraine be given the above weapons - in war-winning quantities, and promptly. The sooner America provides Ukraine the weapons it requires to liberate all of its territory, the sooner this war will be done, and with fewer Ukrainian casualties. Letters can be submitted electronically via the Whitehouse website. One can also conduct a google search for ones' elected representatives - many of which have similar websites. One may simply write and submit a letter electronically to make one'"s desire known.

[@bobtate6812]

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has significantly increased its growth forecast for the Russian economy in 2024, in its latest World Economic Outlook published on Tuesday. The Washington-based institution has once again upgraded its estimate, and now expects Russia’s GDP to grow 3.2% this year, a sharp increase from its January projection of 2.6% and more so from its October prediction of 1.1% growth. The forecast for 2025 has also been increased to 1.8% from the January estimate of 1.1%. Oil export volumes have “held steady” and government spending has “remained high”, contributing to the uptick, the IMF said. The current revision also reflects strong corporate investment, including by state‑owned enterprises, according to the report. “We have also seen a lot of robustness in private consumption that has underpinned growth,” the IMF added. Russian economic growth continues, and according to the IMF report, is expected to outpace that of a number of major Western economies this year, including the US (2.7%), UK (0.5%), France (0.7%) and Germany (0.2%). After sanction #25 Russia is winning economic war too?
