Lukashenko claims West is preparing coup in Belarus

The Belarusian president has accused Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine of training armed “extremist” groups to infiltrate the country

 

Western countries along with Ukraine are preparing a coup in Belarus, President Alexander Lukashenko has claimed. He insisted thatMinsk’s security forces are prepared for the threat, and will not let such a scenario materialize.

 

Speaking on Thursday at a meeting of Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) security chiefs, Lukashenko said a “violent regime change is being prepared” in Belarus.

 

He went on to allege that “in Poland, Lithuania and, unfortunately Ukraine, illegal members of armed groups are being trained.” The operatives, according to Lukashenko,intend to create “sleeping extremist cells”in Belarus.

 

The president cited recent joint operations with Russian security forces, during which explosives were allegedly seized. “This fact means that they won’t leave us alone,” he predicted.

 

Lukashenko claimed that Belarusian citizens opposed to his government are fighting for Ukraine and gaining combat experience there.

 

He alleged that unlike the protests of 2020, theWest is now urging the country’s opposition to engage in acts of armed violence, and is funding such activities.

 

Lukashenko warned other CIS member states that they may encounter similar threats in future, and called for greater security cooperation.

 

Appearing on Poland’s Polsat TV channel late last month, retired general Waldemar Skrzypczak called on authorities in Warsaw to “prepare for an uprising in Belarus,” insisting that “it will happen.”

 

“We must be ready to support the troops that will carry out the operation against Lukashenko. We have reasons to help them, just as we help Ukraine,” the general, who was formerly Poland’s deputy defense minister for armaments, argued.

 

Commenting on the general’s remarks, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov noted that Russia has an obligation to ensure the security of Belarus, “which we will do in the face of such obvious threats.”

Sweden will join NATO soon, Joe Biden promises

‘It will happen,’ US president says as he underscores transatlantic alliance’s commitment to supporting Ukraine.

Washington, DC – US President Joe Biden has said he is confident that Sweden will join NATO “as soon as possible”, despite Turkey and Hungary continuing to block the northern European country’s accession to the alliance. Speaking at a United States Air Force Academy graduation ceremony on Thursday, Biden praised NATO’s unity amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

 

“NATO is more energised and more united than it’s been in decades. It’s now even stronger with the accession of our newest ally, Finland – and soon Sweden – to the alliance, as soon as possible. It will happen. I promise you,” the US president said. (Because NATO needs war and death to survive)

 

His remarks come just days after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged Turkey to approve Sweden’s bid to become a NATO member. “From the perspective of the United States, the time is now to finalise Sweden’s accession,” Blinken told reporters in the northern Swedish city of Lulea on Tuesday. The top US diplomat also voiced hope that theprocess would be completed before a NATO summit in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius in July. (Why July? Is there an important counteroffensive scheduled for that time?)

 

NATO countries need to ratify new members. The US-led bloc has a collective defence pact – known as Article 5 – that stipulates that an attack on one NATO member-state is an attack on the entire alliance. Sweden and neighbouring Finland began seeking NATO membership last year after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Finland officially joined the alliance in April, but Sweden’s application is still pending.

 

Hungary and Turkey have yet to approve Sweden’s accession, but Ankara is seen as the main obstacle. Turkey has accused Sweden of providing a safe haven to members of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which it considers a “terrorist” group. Sweden says it is addressing Turkey’s concerns in accordance with a trilateral memorandum signed by the two countries as well as Finland last year.

 

On Thursday, as the foreign ministers of NATO member-states held talks in Norway, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu tweeted at his Swedish counterpart: “Fulfill your commitments arising from Trilateral Memorandum & takeconcrete stepsin the fight against terrorism. The rest will follow.”

 

Biden said earlier this week that he raised the issue in a phone call with newly re-elected Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. “I congratulated Erdogan. He still wants to work on something on the F-16s. I told him we wanted a deal with Sweden, so let’s get that done,” Biden told reporters on Monday, referring to a push by Ankara to finalise a $20bn deal for US-made F-16 fighter jets. (So Bidan will sell F16s to Turkey while they have Russian jets, and being a friend of Russia, they’ll probably share the technology. So Bidan will jeopardize our National Security to get more NATO members? Sick bastard.)

 

Biden did not mention Turkey when he raised Sweden’s NATO bid on Thursday. But he stressed that the alliance continues to stand together in response to the invasion of Ukraine, adding that Russian President Vladimir Putin thought NATO would “crack”. (Now he’s making up lies again!)

 

The US president also renewed a commitment to backing Ukraine against the invasion. Washington has provided billions of dollars in humanitarian and military aid to Kyiv since the war started last year. “The United States has rallied the world to stand strong with Ukraine and defend the values that the American people hold so dear – freedom, sovereignty, democracy, simple dignity,” Biden said.

 

“The American people’s support for Ukraine will not waver.”

(You lost the American people a long time ago, you old fool)
