From an article by Gilbert Doctorow titled, Alexander Lukashenko’s call today for an immediate cessation of hostilities in Ukraine and opening of peace talks without preconditions
Second, if you listen to Lukashenko’s arguments in the video you are astounded. He is saying that on the front lines the soldiers on both sides understand that they are being sent to their deaths for NOTHING. He says that Ukrainians are warning Russians of attacks about to be launched and Russians are doing the same for the Ukrainians who are maybe 50 meters away from them.
This is absolutely unknown to the likes of Ritter and Macgregor whose brilliance in military theory is irrelevant to the situation at hand. This, and the whole impassioned plea for a ceasefire, are totally ignored in the scrap of propaganda in today’s New York Times entitled “Belarus, echoing Russia, raises the prospect of nuclear conflict’ by their lead reporter for Eastern Europe, Andrew Higgins, based in Warsaw. The editors of the NYT must have 100 meter deep bomb shelters for themselves and family when they publish their war mongering texts that knowingly misinform their readership and refuse to follow the off-ramp that Lukashenko has just showed them.
