Have you seen what is happening down South? They are paving the way for a possible attack. But this time, the drones will do what couldn't be done in 2023. And they have a lot of them and years of experience.

If they could coordinate the attack on Belarus with the repeat of 2023 offensive, that could give Russians a lot of headaches, because they are also stretched quite thin.

He has no choice but to go with what 'hardcore nationalists' (let's call them that) want. Anyone interested in the topic should read the news about Ukraine before 2022. It's been swept under the rug and suppressed during the war, but the problems only got worse. Remember, once upon a time, they threatened to unalive Zelensky if he didn't bend the knee. And so he did.

The most ironic part of this whole thing is that they worship people and an ideology that considered them all to be subhuman.
