Not necessarily. I was thinking more that if there is a chance (and this is probably just wishful thinking) of Lukashenko losing power be that through sickness or otherwise then it could be interesting to see what the Russian reaction would be. Imagine if Belarus were suddenly aligned with the Ukrainian side or at least not aligned with Russia, it would have implications. As I said though probably just wishful thinking...Ya think old Putz broke a few fingers to keep him in line?
I can see that getting ugly real fast as Putin tries to reimpose "order". But the facade of invincible strength has been shattered. Putin's dream of rebuilding the Russian Empire is fading fast.Not necessarily.

Well there is one way to prevent that...My worry is that US interest in supporting Ukraine will take a dramatic and negative turn on 20 Jan 2025. Ukraine's supporting nations, Zelenskyy, Putin and Xii must all be aware that a change in the White House can change everything in this war. With this in mind, Zelenskyy has about eighteen months max to liberate all he can.
