I get the desire to strengthen the eastern edge of NATO countries like Poland and Lithuania... But I think Russia/Wagner have bigger priorities at the moment. I don't think they went to Belarus just to ignore Ukraine and launch a hopeless attack on the entirety of NATO.

No, they went to Belarus so that Lukashenka can feel more secure in his tyranny there and therefore spare more resources for supporting the attempt by Russia to conquer Ukraine

Yeah i doubt priggy gives a fuck about anyone but himself. It's more likely that they are positioning in Belarus to zerg kyiv. Putin's last try at taking the capital.

Which went so well last time.

When you look at the terrain and roads that lead into Ukraine from Belarus it's quite clear why their shitty attack failed. Two lane everything, which becomes one lane when a tank's on it, everything files right past ditches and outcroppings and through forests and towns that all provide some level of cover and/or shelter... it's a fucking nightmare run you'd have to be an absolute idiot to try. looks at Putin
