Russia is pursuing an insane new plan...it involves Belarus - Paul Warburg



Belarus is now building new military positions along the Ukrainian border. New roads, new artillery positions, and more. It appears like a preparation to open a new front in the war, with eery similarities to Russia's initial invasion towards Kyiv from Belarus in 2022. That raises some questions. Is Putin trying to drag Lukashenko into the war once more? Or is something else going on? I discuss the latest updates in the context of the current strategic background of the war. I compare current moves to previous moves from Russia, including building military bases on the border of Finland and sending drones into NATO territory. I bring it all together to discuss what is the most likely explanation for what Russia is REALLY doing right now, and why it proves Putin is so desperate.
