Lukashenko, Poland and Beyond

 

I think we have all been a bit concerned about the growing chaos that is currently taking place on the Belarus and Poland borders. Here we have, according to some reports, more than 1,000 migrants who are now trying to cut down the barbed wire fences and, to be honest, don't look like migrants - no, more like terrorists! And the other report from the Polish Government was that there are between 3,000 - 4,000 migrants settled in an improvised camp on the border just across from its village of Kuźnica. And sat in the background possibly slurping on a large vodka is the Belarusian dictator, Alexander Lukashenko, egging them on, supporting their cause, hoping to create yet more migrant chaos not only in Poland but in Europe and beyond? Of course, he is.

Here is a dictator, not that different from the once most evil tyrant on the planet, Joseph Stalin. Lukashenko, back in May this year, had his air force intercept a flight from Greece to ‘capture’ Raman Protasevich, a Belarusian dissident living in exile in Lithuania.

As I understand, Mr Protasevich, is still under house arrest and no trial has yet has taken place. One can only wonder about the potential torture this man has undergone!! In fact, maybe the one-time blogger is dead. We might never find out.

But getting back to the Polish border. A spokesman for the European Commission stated yesterday, “This is part of the inhuman and really gangster-style approach of the Lukashenko regime that he is lying to people, he is misusing people, misleading them, and bringing them to Belarus under the false promise of having easy entry into the EU.” Lukashenko is using these so-called migrants as pawns against EU and American sanctions. It’s no secret amongst nearly all Western countries that this heinous mongrel poses a massive threat to the West. But it’s not so much as a leader but more that he has the full backing of Putin’s Russia. It was only five days ago when Putin made this statement: “We will together resist any attempts to interfere in the internal affairs of our sovereign states and Russia will, of course, continue to provide assistance to the brotherly Belarusian people – there is no doubt about that.” So there you have it, straight from the little horse’s mouth.

And to finish this blog, just this morning, Lithuania declared a state of emergency in its border regions in reaction to events on the Polish-Belarusian border where big groups of migrants have amassed. But Lithuania has already built a wall along the Belarusian border to prevent migrants from entering the country. Well done, Lithuania. But my last concern is this. Just how many more thousands of migrants are on their way? One doesn’t have to be a Philadelphia lawyer to assume that there are probably thousands. But don’t you worry immigrants from wherever you come from, Mr Lukashenko will welcome you with open arms!
