Mongol Juchi Lobby in Belarus: Could Belarus be the Next after Ukraine?

Da, and Lukashenko knows it.

We have to be very patient with Russia.
We have to be very patient with Russia.
Don't forget: For many years, the United States considered the countries south of the border to be our little brothers who needed our guidance.
We constantly interfered in Central American countries, overthrowing governments that we did not like.
We even tried to terminate the leader of a certain nearby island.
So Russia wants people to respect it as a great power, and it expects the little countries near it to treat Russia as their big brother.
A Mexican leader once said: "Poor Mexico, so far from God, so close to the United States."
No. Belarus is a dictatorship that pretty much nobody bu Russia wants to deal with. There’s no need for Russia to go after Belarus

really? great power? you must be joking .
Good morning from California.
I did NOT say that Russia is a great power.
Russia wants to be treated AS IF it were a great power.
I agree with your implication: Except for its nuclear weapons, it is a paper tiger.
In fact, if Russia did get into a non-nuclear war with the West, it might get its butt kicked. And maybe the young men of the Russian army would even revolt against senseless fighting. (As Russia gets involved more deeply in the Middle East, it may even lead to President Putin's eventual "retirement.")
hello California. i see you made many good points , whats interesting here, how a country could be a power if it can not make a car or a phone ? by the way, do you know that California is greater than Muscovy ?

The classification of a state as a “power,” is its ability to influence other countries. Russia has enough military power, political influence, and economic power. Russia qualifies.

Are you also claiming that the California National Guard could beat the VSRF? No. While not a great military, they are still a threarMuscovite empire is dying ....
"Russia’s economy is smaller than California’s, smaller than Texas’, smaller than New York state. Russia is barely larger than Florida, Illinois, and Pennsylvania, in GDP valued in US dollars.
It’s pretty amazing how ridiculously large the US economy is, and the map above helps put America’s GDP of $18 trillion in 2015 into perspective by comparing the GDP of US states to other country’s entire national GDP. For example:
1. America’s largest state economy is California, which produced $2.44 trillion of economic output in 2015, just slightly above the GDP of France during the same period of $2.42 trillion. Consider this: California has a workforce of about 19 million"

I say “political influence” and you say “name real allies.” Why. One can have firm allies but little influence over other countries and one can have a large amount of political influence but few or no allies.really, can you name Muscovite allies (real one) today?
