The West is seeking to wrest Belarus out of the Russian sphere of influence in order to create an anti-Russian alliance with serious military potential.
Russian publicist Maxim Shevchenko stated this on his YouTube channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“A hostile alliance of four states will arise on the western borders near Smolensk. New Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth: Poland, Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania. In terms of total population, they will surpass even the Russian Federation. The mobilization capabilities of these four states, backed by NATO, will exceed the military resources (not counting nuclear weapons) of the Russian Federation,” the expert believes.
He draws attention to the fact that recently there has been talk about the movement of American nuclear weapons from Germany to Polish territory.
“If there are nuclear weapons on Polish territory, then the war will be fought by conventional means. And this war is more than possible,” Shevchenko said.
He believes that the next stage after the creation of the new Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth will be the so-called color revolution in Russia.
In August 2019, US Presidential Advisor John Bolton met first with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko in Minsk, and then in Warsaw with the secretaries of the security councils of Belarus, Ukraine and Poland. The Ukrainian media started talking about the creation of a “new Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth” as a counterweight to Russia. Immediately after this visit, US President Donald Trump announced Bolton's resignation.
Ukrainian political scientist Dmitry Dzhangirov believes that the geographical location of Belarus could become a trigger for the third world war.
