It's a distraction, Lukashenko is trying everything he can to help his Lord Putin without actually getting involved in the war, Belarus military is too small and too weak to fight against a NATO equipped Ukraine and Lukashenko is hated in his own country. We saw the recent 2021 Belarusian protests, huge protests, against Lukashenko, which were only dealt with by Lukashenko beating down his own people, once he no longer has the protection of his military because it's dead in Ukraine then he'll be in real trouble.

I think it's just a ruse to divert more Ukranian forces away from the front. If they actually invaded, then NATO would get involved and this would degenerate into ww3. But nobody wants escalation so that seems too unlikely right now. 

Doubt it, Poland may want to get involved but America will just tell them no and that will be the end of it.

ok....... So you tell Chris that it's a distraction but then I say its a ruse which is arguably the same thing.  Then you said no way jose to that.  This makes my head hurt lol

I'm just saying in a hypothetical, Lol. I do believe this is a distraction and Belarus won't invade but in a hypothetical scenario where they do, I don't think NATO will directly get involved, I think Poland may want to but nobody else will back them up and the Baltics are too small but this is entirely hypothetical, I don't believe it has a chance of happening.
