15. Not to mention, having a Ukraine bias is a GOOD thing!

4. If that's true

this war just got orders of magnitude worse.

5. Saw what appeared to be a missle launch from Belarus on Twitter in the last hour... nt

6. More and more my concerns seem justified

that the peace negotiations shouldn't be organized by Belarus nor should they happen anywhere near them.

[Thomas Hurt]

7. Time to impose the same sanctions on Belarus.

[AllyCat]

9. That was my thought. Sanctions on them as well.

We should be able to move quickly since we have had a few days of practice.

25. Sanctions have been imposed.

https://time.com/6151347/belarus-russia-ukraine/
The U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on the Belarusian regime’ defense sector and financial institutions Thursday following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, citing Minsk’s “support for, and facilitation of” Moscow’s attack.

Among the 24 individuals and entities facing these sanctions are Belarusian defense minister Viktor Khrenin, two large state-owned banks, several security companies that the U.S. says have close links with Russia, and a businessman linked to authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko.

“Having already sacrificed its legitimacy to suppress the democratic aspirations of the Belarusian people, the Lukashenko regime is now jeopardizing Belarus’ sovereignty by supporting Russia’s further invasion of Ukraine,” said U.S. treasury minister Janet Yellen.

The U.S. isn’t the only country sanctioning these institutions and individuals. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced similar punitive measures for Belarus’ reported role in the assault.

More must be imposed on them if they join the fight, and the other Euro nations need to step up.

12. They are War Criminals

can the ICC get involved.

[tritsofme]

17. The ICC has no jurisdiction. Neither Russia nor Ukraine are parties to the Rome Statute.

[bdamomma]

22. Thanks for

the info.

[bdamomma]

27. It seems

very well timed that the news reported that the ICC will get involved.

[DFW]

14. Lukashenko is Putin's lapdog, wholly owned

Belarus doesn’t join so much as a picnic unless Putin says so.

[roamer65]

16. If Belarus comes across NATO borders, crush them.

26. If this woman were able to take the office she was elected to, it would be wonderful. I remember

her victory and the protests when she was denied by Lukashenko. I really hoped he would not succeed.

He's now bonded to Putin... I hope they both are gone soon.

20. Damn, Putler needs the help

[Gore1FL]

23. I am having a hard time believing they are going to improve on the Russian's efforts. nt

[Gore1FL]

24. I hope they conscript defector Evan Neumann and make him march south. nt
