    "“We are heating Europe, and they are threatening us that they are going to close the border,” Lukashenko said, according to state media outlet BelTA. “What if we cut off the natural gas supply there? Therefore, I would recommend the leadership of Poland, Lithuania, and other heedless people to think before they speak.”

    Oh SNAP! That is certainly laying down the gauntlet. Brinkmanship 201!

    It is a known threat.

    There are lots of pipes from Russia to Western Europe.
    To be effective, lots of pipes have to be cut off.

    Then everyone suffers ;
    Russians earn less money,
    Western Europeans spend less money, power stations shut down ...


    Next Q :
    When will Western Europe threaten not to buy Russian gas?

    Ogh. The last Emperor in EU.

    They are bringing planes full of refugees from Iraq/Iran/Syria, to ,,storm" the borders of Lithuania and Poland.

    But the thing is, those folks are not from the war zone. The goal is - Germany.

    In exechange to stop it, Belarus is asking for €€€ from EU, yet, in ends up in new sanctions.

    Polish diplomats went for a meeting in Ankara. New Turkish Airlines deal will cut off most of the flights.

    Thank God for the foresight of German planners who laid Russian pipes into Germany, circumventing all those despots and American interests...

    Guess what, those Syrian and Iranian refugees are already more highly educated than the average American. Funny, eh? Almost all Persians I met here in Canada, for example, had at least a master degree prior to landing in Canada. My bet is that Germany will actually hugely benefit from those migrants in the long term. And mixed babies look way better than the average Caucasian German woman.

    This is invasion 21st-century style. You don't use soldiers anymore; you use civilians, men, women and children as your weapon. You don't like a country, you just send civilians in the form of migrants to storm its border. You know what Poland and the rest of EU should do? Round up all of the migrants that are currently in their countries and deport them back to where they come from through Belarus. There, you fight migrants with migrants. They are not getting natural gas anymore. That way, there will be fewer bodies to heat in those countries.

    If those migrants have such high intelligence, why make such big efforts to migrate to other countries like Germany and Canada? Why not stay in Iran or Syria to use your knowledge to contribute to building your own country? Don't you want to use your knowledge to make your country strong? Why migrate? Germany is not interested in the "hugely benefit" from those migrants. It's those migrants storming Germany not Germany openly wanting to accept immigration.

    All babies are beautiful btw. But if you think "average Caucasian German woman" are ugly, why mix with them? Don't you want to keep your middle eastern genes pure? Instead of being "soiled" by ugly "average Caucasian German woman"? LOL

    Immigration imo is the biggest mistake that all of the western European nations have ever made. They blindly copied United States and Canada's model of immigration and think they can succeed as well with immigration without assessing their own situation. They should've done like what Japan has done: Flatly refuse immigration and instead develop advanced technology and robotics to resolve reduction in productivity brought up on population decline. And honestly, United States and Canada should do the same: Develop robotics instead of bringing in more people.

    Hey JSOP, FYI: more than 99% of Americans are descendants of migrants... :)
