    Why would Belarus, a Russian vassal, co-operate with NATO? This doesn’t make any sense. Are they claiming an actual change in politics and an attempt to get away from Russian influence?

      Thy probably just want to blame their non cooperation on “aggressive rhetoric and actions” by NATO. Whatever that is supposed to mean.

    “Belarus” isn’t really a problem. Lukashenko is the problem. They already tried their best to get rid of the little turd, but Russian forces rolled on the streets.

    If we don’t alienate people of Belarus and Russia becomes weak enough, maybe they’ll take our the garbage and stop renting their bumhole to Russia.

      I know how complex this can get, but are there not covert operations we could engage in to eliminate this “problem?” Is that definitely not the answer in this case?

        Let’s not make things worse. Assassinating the Archduke Ferdinand on the precipice of World War seems like a bad idea.
