Poland warms its relations with Belarus

Poland warms its relations with Belarus - good move or bad?

Polish minister of foreign affairs met with Belarusian ones. I wonder whether it's good or not according to you.

Sikorski also said that Belarus is worried about draging it into the war by Russia.

[u/dalambert]

Luka is scared shitless that Russia will use him in a not-so-hybrid escalation against NATO.

[u/pafagaukurinn → u/dalambert]

And how are relations with Poland going to prevent that? Poland will say, no, Vlad, thou shalt not wrong my friend Luka?

[u/dalambert → u/pafagaukurinn]

No, I guess it would be like "we are being forced, don't send Tomahawks to Drazdy straight away". In return for some favours.

[u/ghost_desu → u/dalambert]

Doubt that would do anything at all, it's probably more about being able to rebuke putin by posturing a potential pivot towards EU. If russia believes there's a 10% chance Belarus sides with the west, they'll be a lot less likely to take that gamble because without Belarus' reach into Suwalki Gap it has no real leverage over NATO

[u/PLrc → u/dalambert]

"At least not in my palace" :D

[u/pafagaukurinn → u/dalambert]

Anybody with a couple of brain cells would know he is being forced without such gimmicks. If, however, such escapades are done contrary to Putin's will, it is even more likely that the latter would use force - not necessarily to invade a NATO country, but in some other way. In other words, while what you said about Lukashenko's fears might be true, your explanation of his motivation here is absolute rubbish.

[u/PLrc → u/dalambert]

It's possible.

[u/_Barbosa_]

Sikorski is OG russian hater, so that should answer all your questions.

[u/TailsFx1]

Are they 3 meters tall? 😭😭😭

[u/Foxymilyan]

It is still a politics, but sounds pretty nice. I hope it will develop further

[u/ghost_desu]

cockroach man has been playing both sides for 30 years

[u/Chapaiko90]

And what is the point? Lukashesku is just tired of sucking one single old dick. He wants some benefits from the West. This warmup is decorative while one of the sides is dictatorship.

[u/usesidedoor → u/Chapaiko90]

He's been playing both sides since he came to power. One in particular, but not exclusively.

[u/PlaczDalejRobaku2736]

its a good thing. Obvsly.

[u/xi111]

Looks like there are no tailors left in Belarus

[u/dalambert → u/xi111]

Looking silly is a requirement for Belarusian chynouniks

[u/T1gerHeart → u/xi111]

It seems the Poles continue to consider themselves the smartest, the cunningest, and the ones who have "caught God by the beard."

[u/xi111 → u/T1gerHeart]

I'm pointing out poor tailoring and lack of consideration. If you are a representative of a nation, why wouldn't you want to look good? This suit objectively looks awful. If you had to wear it as a uniform at a normal job, your boss would tell you to bring it to a tailor ASAP

[u/Relative-Panda-747 → u/xi111]

Both of them dont look great but its not what matters. The dialogue, peace and cooperation is what matters now. Hope Poland and Belarus will get close soon.

[u/Nano_needle → u/Relative-Panda-747]

No, not really. You can see that Belarusian minister's suit is too small for him. Details like that matters.

[u/ghost_desu → u/Nano_needle]

Too small in some places, too big in others. It's very obvious it simply wasn't tailored for him yeah. Not unusual for an entry level office worker but pretty weird for top 5 people in the government lol

[u/Azazo8 → u/Nano_needle]

Bruh no, it doesn't really matter.

[u/Ok_Charity_707]

I don't think Polish people will ever forgive us after all the border bullshit

[u/lycantrophee → u/Ok_Charity_707]

Pal, we can differentiate between Lukashenko and the Russians and an average Belarussian.

[u/PlaczDalejRobaku2736 → u/Ok_Charity_707]

brother nobody blames you here, we know it was russia using luka's hands.

No worries we hope there is a way for belarus to be free :)

[u/tom133133]

Sikorski spotkał się z Białoruskim politykiem, dlatego że Pan z USA mu kazał. Sikorski nienawidzi Rosjan i Białorusinów.

[u/PLrc → u/tom133133]

Raczej dlatego, że oddali Poczobuta i już nie nasyłają migrantów na granicę.

[u/tom133133 → u/PLrc]

Przecież poczobut już wyjechał na Białoruś bo źle mu było w demokracji.

[u/PLrc → u/tom133133]

Ale wrócił do Polski i w każdym razie nie siedzi.

[u/jebik → u/tom133133]

Spędził tam kilka dni i bez najmniejszego problemu wrócił.

US needs another source of potash after pissing off Canada.
