    Blatantly provoking NATO into full action sure is one way to make sure Ukraine gets admitted despite being in a state of active war. Can’t imagine what Belarus/Russia thinks they could possibly gain from that.

      I could, it could be a way for Putin to save face. ‘look all of nato joined in, we didnt want to put our great people thru this, so we gave the land back’ and not have to make the ‘ok I am hiding in a bunker with my cousin and all of you need to protect me to the last person, remember we are winning this war.’

    I am still in team “they can’t possibly be that stupid…I hope”. Attacking Poland is a quick way of liberating belarus from that human potato Lukaschenko and someone without brain damage in the kremlin must know that.
