If you look at the map, you can easily figure it why Poland is becoming the most armed country in Europe.
@@jakepistolero it's has everything to do with geography. And dead ruzzians😁
1 nuke and all their weapons is useless
@@jakepistolero If you say so, Ivan.
@@jakepistolero I don't blame them for being paranoid. Russia invaded Ukraine unprovoked and they're most likely afraid it'll happen to them too. They're a former Soviet bloc country. I wouldn't want to go back to that.
We are not afraid of ruZZia, but they are *BARBARIANS* . if they want to annihiliate other countries, they should be prepared to be annihiliated themselves. We have a right to defend ourselves and we didn't arm up, until ruZZia attacked Ukraine.
If anybody wonders why Finland and Sweden are so eager to join NATO, this should answer that question in spades.
putler has been the best recruiter NATO ever had
Russia invaded Ukraine BECAUSE of NATO. Buy a clue.
@neowuwei7851 it's "get a clue" you dopey Ivan.
@@neowuwei7851 Russia invaded Ukraine because Putin thinks its a part of Russia. Ukraine will become a NATO member because of this.
@@neowuwei7851 To provide forced protection Mafia style?
Lukashenko would not only let it happen, but will say Thank you Daddy while he watches.
And then fall out of a window not much later.
I'm not so sure, I think Lukashenko likes being a ruler of his own country. On the other hand, how could he say No to such a good "friend" as Putin?
@@Primitarian👍👍👍
Lukashenko puppet and slave of mass murderer Putin .
@@PrimitarianHe most defiantly could. And I imagine much of Belarus is against it, not only that, Russia would have to divert resources to do it. Not good. And if he does it. He most of his power, he don’t want that.
Belarus is very much similar in governing and way of life already so what is the problem of joining with Russia..they can only gain out of it...why is no one seeing this important part, how good it would be for economy of the Lukashenko country!!!
I never understood this mans fascination with losing.
I'm reminded of an old conversation with Gary Kasparov, the former World Chess Champion. A reporter had remarked that Putin was a strategic thinker, a chess player of world politics. Gary shot that down. "*I* am a chess player and he is no chess player. He is a gambler, a poker player that makes brash moves and hopes everyone else folds."
putin, or trump?
@@ThatOpalGuy Both
@@ThatOpalGuyTrump is great. My grandmother too me to an event she paid for and we met his son. He is a very decent normal man
@@usaslastresort1126 You can't trust anyone with such tiny hands, wears a clown wig, and who uses gallons of spray on tanner. He also emits incredibly strong pedo vibes (he walked in on underage, unclothed beauty contestants, and has a deeply abnormal relationship with at least one of his daughters), and lies on a scale never previously witnessed.
Well, any moderately observant person can see that he has no intention of stopping at Ukraine.
He has eyes on Odessa ,the Bosphorus, and total control of the Black Sea,as well as all countries that border it for his gateway to europe..
the GQP think it's no big deal, we should just let him do what he wants, it's complete insanity

My mothers bed time stories of the Russians invading Latvia were horrific. My mother was 16 and was sent home from her school in the city where she took a boat up the coast to drop her off, but the boat kept going and escaped. She never saw her family again. They sent my grandmother and aunt and over 10,000 women to camps in Siberia where they stayed for 10 years. They commandeered my grandfathers farm but forced him to stay and work it. They ended his woodworking business. People who owned apartments in the city heard a knock on the door, and we're told to gather a small list of things that they were allowed to take. They were sent to very low income buildings, while Russians moved into their apartments and enjoyed the things the Latvians were forced to leave behind, including clothes. When I went to visit Latvia a few years ago(a beautiful gentle country) I went into a card shop in the mall but my cousin grabbed my arm and pulled me out. It was owned by Russians. I have a friend in New York who met an older man who said he was Russian...even though he was born in Latvia. You can believe Russia/Putin is coming for all those countries. Assisting Ukraine to defeat Russia is a no brainer.
I was in Estonia recently. Same story. A man walking his dog in a park told me he knew no one, emphasis, not one person, who didn’t have a family member, killed, imprisoned, sent to work camps, by the Soviets. A tour guide told me off line he wouldn’t even spit the word Russia-and Tallinn was full of Russians.
Thank you for your post, it was so enlightening. This entire country should read what you wrote, perhaps many of those who don't believe it is important to support Ukraine would be reminded again how dangerous Putin is and what he really wants to do.
That is a cool story. I knew some people from Latvia to say they didn't like the soviet government is putting it lightly. All the best !(
No doubt a scary past. But they are part of nato now. They will never see russian rule again. Even putin would never be so stupid as to attack nato head on and trigger his own undoing. The only reason Ukraine was attacked is because its not in nato.
Back in the late 60's I had a wonderful math teacher that had been involved in similar events as you describe for your grandmother. His father was taken one night and never seen again again plus a bunch of other frightening things. He would take class time to try to enlighten us to how lucky we were to be free and how not to take it for granted. What was left of his family fled to Germany then to the US. He would cry and be wioing tears from his eyes as he would tell us about it. It was so impactful that even after all those years I still remember it. He was a good and caring man.
What? Isn't the media supposed to report on real time stories not speculation that they didn't even bother to verify before reporting
I've said it from the beginning this was Putin rebuilding the old Soviet Union. He's said it NUMEROUS TIMES in numerous speeches that was his dream. He was deeply embarrassed when the Soviet Union fell. He said so himself. Belaruse is already a Russian colony. It's just not formalized yet. That's why Russia was allowed access from Belaruse territory.
Someone said it long ago, but was absolutely correct. Putin wants the old USSR
Yep. You know who said it? Putin! Why don’t people listen? Just like trump. People didn’t listen to him either then everyone acts surprised!
The old USSR didnt have a weak military unlike now. They trained themselves professional soldiers once. Now they send in teens and prisoners.
@@DarthSailorMoo
wrong
the USSR always had a questionable military full of prisoners and conscripts
Clinton said it years ago. Bill pointed to the old presidents heart and told him Putins heart wasnt in democracy
He's sucked and siphoned Russia dry and made himself a multi billionaire. He's run out of Oligarchs to push out windows for money and their companies. He needs control of their agriculture, energy, manufacturing, chemicals and IT skills.
Wouldn't surprise me if he has plans to take over Kazakhstan, Moldova, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Armenia and Azerbaijan too.
I forgot Turkmenistan too.
Putin had plans to take over many countries including Ukraine, Poland, Belarus etc etc....
Good luck

Yep. I agree
Has been reported in Germany a week ago. It didn’t brake on yahoo news but in a German network of newspapers. Pls check
And so?
@@princewilliams1410 So... it's inaccurate reporting. Shouldn't happen.
@@princewilliams1410 journalistic sourcing, plagiarism… all those things are important. Im not saying it happened here. But if everyone would shrug it off like you just did, I would get my doctors degree with a chat GPT essay and later be remembered as the guy who invented the color blue :p

I'm shocked.😐 Too many people alive today, do not remember or even know of the USSR.
You don't need leaked documents to know that. It's been obvious for a long time.
Well we dont know how he was gonna do it now do we?
@@datcyanguy7812 yeah we do actually.., Lukashenko and Putin meet publicly on the matter multiple times a year.
But does Belarus itself know what Putin wants from them?
Peter Zeihan has been saying it for years.
It's obvious only if you aren't befuddled by Putin's false words and false promises. After all, the West has seen Putin lie, and lie, and lie, and lie...
The same people who said Russia wouldn't invade Ukraine are the same people denying this. Russia has banners everywhere that say "Russia's borders end nowhere". It's time people start believing their plans.
@@Mad_Catter_ Dear Lord that's harsh. A lot of people express the same sentiment for Texas, not understanding how many beautiful Texans live in a state oppressed by cruel & violent southern GQP evangelicals & conservatives driving trucks w/ *It's Liberal Hunting Season* bumper stickers. It's a nuthouse now- Abbot /Patrick/ Paxton inmates running the asylum- but also a ton of good people trying to make it through life- being terrorized, as is the case for just about anywhere.
@@FirehorseCreative Other people live in liberal dog houses like California and New York where men are women an women are men and crime happens in broad daylight and illegal immigrants get government housing while citizens go homeless. It a nuthouse. Luckly most people are fleeing this liberal $#!T holes the bad news is they bring their failed politics with them to more conservative places.
FirseHouse I suggest you leave Texas and move to Cali or New York to be with your own kind.
show us one of these fantasy banners you speak of you indoctrinated clown
@@Mad_Catter_ Glass Plate Putin and a few of his Lieutenants, probably all that is needed. A couple of well placed C-HGB missiles, when the Kremlim is in full session, should do it. Then the Russian people can get on with their lives and the Ukrainian war could end.
The same people who prettend they know anything still use this dumb argument in attempt to convince themselves and everybody else that you know anything about geopolitics
Literally the alarm does not go off that much there as another reporter said they had been there 10 weeks without hearing it once.
And we didn’t know this was his end goal from the first shot fired?
Biden knew, AND SAID SO, multiple times. Biden predicted when Putin would attack and what pretexts Putin would use.
My friend that lives in Belarus thought it was gonna happen when Trump was president. She's looking out for the little green men to show up and take over. She won't talk on the phone anymore because she thinks someone is listening, and that's killing my sister, they were roommates in college.
That's so sad to hear. Maybe she should visit your sister.
So sorry to hear that
MAGA might be back before you know it!
@Laura Maybe she should come stay with your sister until she finds her a place that isn't in Belarus. It's sad people have to leave their country but better now than during war and invasion...
Ya'll Take Care and be safe, John
"someone is listening" -- do you mean one ought not to be listened to when one speaks? if you do not want to be listened to, do not speak. The only reason why Belorussia was kept as a separate republic within the USSR was to give Moscow another vote in the UN as Stalin had wangled three seats in the UN for himself, two other being for Minsk and Kiev, which was a charade then but did give two more votes. Hilarious too is how ignorant the correspondent is about the subject he speaks of saying "all hm former countries that were under Soviet influence" (4:16). He hasn't the faintest idea apparently about these "former countries", not even cognizant that they were not "under Soviet influence", but an integral part of the Soviet Union.
Get that Michael Weiss a permanent spot on the channel!
Unsurprising and unacceptable.
The Air Raid Siren was all theatre and for show.
Better pick the correct side, Belarus. And Russia isn't the one. Don't F it up.
aw, you knows he's going to f it up, big time, look at him lol
That'll make them listen.
As a Lithuanian I have also heard MANY scary bedtime stories as a kid about Russians and the horrors that they commit wherever they go and touch. The integration of Belarus into Russia should be seen as a declaration of war against Poland, Latvia and Lithuania.
Russia doesn't change. They fight with old methods and are committing horrors in Ukraine.
Countries that we hear of only during Eurovision, are going to drag all of Europe into their 100 years old grudges. Dont be surprised if you turn around and nobody is following you into this madness.
no it shouldn't. it should be seen as the integration of belarus into russia. when a russian boot crosses your border, then invoke article 5 and start world war 3, not one second before. stalin had tremendous arrogance and the ability, backed up by the largest army the world had ever seen, to dominate eastern europe for 2 generations. putin has a tiny fraction of that power, and he has no illusions now of the power of his military. he is reacting to unendurable provocations by the 'great game' players in washington, nothing more. he must re-establish buffer states or his legitimacy has protector of russia will be no more. he has no choice, and for him personally, it is life or death.
@@Rhaspun In Finland we have a saying "Ryssä (Pejorative for Russian without honor, honesty, decency) on ryssä vaikka voissa paistaisi!" translating to "Russky (with all of those bad traits) is a Russky even after frying them with butter." Basically meaning that Russians never change and they'll show their true colors eventually.
Why would integration be a declaration of war on Poland a nato country ? Which putin would probably stay away from
We can call this a
Soviet reunion
Yup! Except, that reunion is all in the land of their maker! 9miles up! 🥴
How tf does yahoo news know all that?
This war devastated our Stock market but Russia and China. cannot be allowed to do the military expansion thing. ...I stand with Biden on this one
devasted the stock mkt? lol Hardly devastation. Do u think money managers weren't ready for it? If not they are incompetent, by definition, since an entire yr of warnings preceeded this vile war of psychopathic aggression. Military expansion thing? lol. You sound so profoundly ignorant i don't know where to start. There are tons of accurate vid's on youtube about all this, so get learning Pauo Bunyon! There's no such thing as 'not allowing' a country like china to expand its military, which is a process that literally cannot be disallowed by us or anyone. That's why we have continual improvement of our military superiority here in these united states. Suggest u watch some CSIS vid's, like the recent one with the Space Force leader.
U Americans funny think U own the world huh you’ll find out soon enough
Just like Hitler in WWII.
"Austria has always been part of Germany."
Japan, "Korea has always been part of Japan."
Now it's
Putin, "Belarus. . . Ukraine. . .etc. has always been part of Russia."
Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee. ( "Thee" meaning all of us.)
Yep. Same old FASCISM -- same old LIES. Oh, and some of the same old dumbchits in America believing lies and B.S., just like when the Nazis had their "American Bund."

My most sincere Thank You to MSNBC for producing this vital News report on what the actual intentions are of Vladimir Putin.

@@roberttaylor9563 hopefully trump will do something I feel like having anyone other then biden will be better where being played so China can get ready for Taiwan while we sit here and spend billions trying to help Ukraine while Russia just uses its numbers to continue the assault
Same thing with today's Democrat party and their masters the globalist international bankers.
Matter of fact they would love Putin in Russia if Putin would push the atheistic humanist equity state of communism just like todays Democrat party pushes
Instead Putin is opening up thousands of churches. While zelinsky like Karl Marx is imprisoning Christian priests and raiding Christian churches. I wonder if Jewish zielinsky will ever raid Jewish temples and arrest rabbis we all know that's never going to happen. Matter of fact if anybody ever attempted that the Democrat party would declare nuclear war
more than once ever since (or even before) he became president. No one listened, because money...
Putin has also cancelled a treaty where he recognized Moldova's sovereignity...
Putin has never considered treaties as more than wasted paper.

Yep. Republicans don't care. I mean, it ain't 'Merka, right?
Today's rally/concert in Moscow is testament to that. They even sang a song where they mentioned their flag flying over Berlin again. Russian Media Monitor has a delightful video from that event with subtitles.

Old Warsaw Pact : "Ummmm, no, we kicked you out.... we're with these guys now...." (points to NATO)
As if it wasn't Nato that expanded to the east, bombed Serbia, built anti-missile areas, and staged a Nazi coup in 2014, before that in Russia-friendly Ukraine. But of course, it's Russia that wants to restore the empire, yeah

He was really pushy so that’s why he probably lost so many men and also that’s why he probably died so young from a cold fever I think or something along those lines.

Most of his tactics are still used in the worlds militaries around the world believe it or not.
I will say that even though MSNBC isn’t a good source of news .. Micheal Weiss absolutely is . His journalism far exceeds his integrity in the search of what’s really happening on the ground in Ukraine . He was one of the first journalists in Syria that claimed chemical weapons were being used .
This report could have mentioned the Suwałki Gap and Belarus' proximity to the Kaliningrad oblast.
This is old news and part of an ongoing struggle between Lukashenko and Poo Tin. Poo Tin, and a lot of Russians, see Belarus as another 'little Russia' much as they see Ukraine. The Belorussians don't see it that way. In fact, the Belorussians identify more with Ukraine than they do with Russia.

Do you blame them? Identifying with Russia seems to be a poison pill for ANY country.
The Ukrainians didn't see it that way either but like uninvited unwanted guests, once they move in, especially when they bring their military with them, they are difficult to evict from your home or homeland.

Of course not 😂 😂 he does now 😂 😂 😂
Yes he knows. This plan is an old plan.
@Sonomacats That's why it's "OMG." and not "OMG!!" We all know. The original comment is Satire.
I assume Lukashenko is hoping to have a position similar to that of Ramzan Kadyrov, being President of an “autonomous republic” within the Russian Federation.
His Government has already been systematically exterminating any remaining use of the Belarussian language, and replacing it with Russian.
Probably, but now the people of Belarus know too. They won't be happy.
He wants all of Europe, to begin with.
He wants Alaska back too, apparently
@@changeshifter4852 he knows better not to invade Alaska.
No he doesn’t, people have to stop being dramatic. His deal is the old USSR, he couldn’t give a toss about Europe. He feels nothing but contempt for it. All he wants is for NATO to stay in its lane and stop trying to encroach into the Eastern line. He’s basically making the statement that if these Eastern countries start warming up to NATO he will reinstate the USSR, to ensure that the US stops the encroachment into the East. Putin may be cold af but so is the American government.
@@deondraemorris7603 He didn’t know it wasn’t a good idea to invade Ukraine so you you never know..
Oh, yet another bizarre turn!
i mean i’m pretty sure he’s been saying this
According to a report by yahoo that is NOT verified by anyone... Amazing journalism
Get paranoid sheeple!
We really don't need ot to be verified. It's common sense.
Yet.
next he will want Alaska
At this point more Americans support Putin than the "Grift in Ukraine".
MSNBC provides the polls & benefits from the lie.
He will never have Alaska.
@@heathdoheny5133 RUSSİA CHİNA. 🤣🤣.
Biden will trade him for another Basketball Player.
An Air raid siren show :) Yeah!
Like i said, he will not stop unless he is stopped
You think war will end if Putin is "stopped" (whatever that even means)? You're a fool.
Lukashenko welcomes Russian military. Keep in mind Belarussians HATE Lukashenko and had to be put down by the military two years ago after trying to oust him. Belarus is a device for Russian hijinks, and the reason Lukashenko has not projected his military into Ukraine so far is precisely because he would be instantly deposed. Having the Russian military operating out of Belarus allows Lukashenko insurance against his own people, and it gives Putin the ability to drag another sovereign into the fight. More incentive for neighboring NATO allies to get off the fence before this conflict extends through Belarus to their own borders.
Give him time, even Poland, Slovakia, The Czech Republic, Hungary, etc will be in Putin’s sights. He doesn’t care about NATO.
You are so wrong Putin is afraid of NATO because NATO has Nukes right outside Putins doors.
He doesn't care about NATO, no ..no ..no...
@@andrewalderman9489 Encanto? Unexpected.
He is a very foolish man.If a NATO country is attacked,all he'll will just pour onto Ruzzia.
@@terencebower132 he believes NATO won't honor article 5 if he rattles his nuclear sabre hard enough. Pulling out of the latest nuclear deal is the next step in that direction.
I got an excellent lap dance from a Belarussian girl in Key West one night. I think "Down with the Sickness" was the song playing. She was lovely and strong. I hope she is doing well.
Everyone has a plan right up until you punch them in the face a mike tyson quote!
Your description of Belerus' "leader", and hence that country is very accurate.
Your spelling of Belarus is very inaccurate.
Good reporting. Michael Weiss came across as very intelligent, articulate and well-spoken. Please bring him on again. Give him an NBC News contributor deal.
And tell LIES NATO on the door step what to do. Hm we have a Chinese military base being built in Mexico, Salvador, Nicaragua, bolise and Panama..... what to do ???? Oh maybe attack and invade... No it's ok we're safe...... Get a clue demoncrats
I'm a fan too
They’ve been talking about becoming one state for years- this is nothing new
Wow what happened to the csi in 1994
Imagine living in Minsk and hearing news like this.
This is definitely not how you end strange erotic journeys that start in Milan.
Belarusian government is nothing but a Putin puppet. The people should fight their regime!
"News" from MSNBC. Hahahahahhaha
@@nerzhul2455 news from Russian controlled state tv, haha 😂
@@latino_God Atleast they get about 50% truth in reports. In your "news" it's barely 1% news and rest is popaganda and indocriation
nice take and reporting on Belarus, but my theory is that Putin needs Belarus for various strategic tasks, such as laundering money, getting & trading goods, etc. in order to overcome sanctions as well as gathering intelligence.
Putin is not in a hurry to officially annex Belarus quite yet, it seems he owns it already.
The Russian annexation of Belarus is also being slowed by Lukashenko's foot-dragging. He knows how much Putin wants Belarussian troops to be on the front line of the invasion (i.e. cannon fodder). But Lukashenko also knows his citizens and army do not want war with Ukraine which means his hold on power is tenuous. So, he walks a tightrope.
Belarus has tons of sanctions on it too
It will take the heat off Putin by letting belus attack Ukraine and save the Russia soldiers
Putin has China to avoid sanctions
Belarus is also a very convenient drop off point for importing a hybrid army, ooops, I meant to say sweet, harmless migrants. So they could invade, oops again, I meant to sa, y enter to peacefully and request asylumn, in Lithuania and Poland, and to establish drug smuggling and human trafficking operations, oops, I meant Kabob reataurants and lonely heart clubs in those countries. In 2021, there was a large group which tried to get in, possibly because they had been promised a large vulnerable population of refugees in Poland and Lithuania who would be fleeing an attack from Russia. The attack from Russia came, but the "peaceful harmless" army of 95% men which tried to break through the Polish and Lithuanian borders had been stopped and were unable to greet the Ukrainin refugees. Bravo Poland and Lithuania!
You realize that NOW?
We are still waiting for the “secrete document”.
Mad man!
He doesn't need to take over Bella Rus. He owns it already.
He needs to make it official 🤔
Better tell that to the average citizen in Belarus. Bet they have something to say about it.
It’s like owning most of the shares in a company but don’t have the rights to control day to day operations
@ Tineke Spot on !!
@@b.w.9244 yeah 15 years in prison. Lukachenko is not the chosen President by the people
But a puppet from Putin, placed there by him. The people have nothing to say about it.
These political leaders are all clowns 🤡
what about Estonia on the map ???

@@user-tg2fg9ry1s spell check, issued.. 🥴
They arent taking anything they are correcting the mistake of the past (disolving of the soviet union) by creating a new union that would be better. Why should belarus,kazakhstan or any other ex soviet nation be a mere puppet of the west ? When they can be part of a new union that promotes unity, strength, sovereignty and trust in tradition.
@@jsandiego2394 i always spell that word wrong! Lol
This is why it’s a huge mistake to stop helping Ukraine like the Russian loving republicans want to do.
Fk Ukraine period u.s needs to worry about America y’all people are sad
No, not really. Russia is still outmatched, and outflanked. Unless China steps up cooperation, Russia will never be back. Even then, the EU, and NATO are enough.
Congratulations your a fool! 🎉
@@twan104 why worry about America? Unemployment is the lowest in 50 years, inflation is down , gas is way down. Bidens spending is a fraction of the deficit trump ran up. If you aren’t prosperous now it’s your fault.. aren’t you the party of personal responsibility?
@fallen alpha lol, that's a silly, uneducated take and the opposite of the truth
Not Our War
Oh Great another War for him to Humiliate himself and lose.
Michael Weiss..job well done!
Have to give him props for setting "realistic" targets. When you cannot take over a capital in 3 days you aim to take over a country in 7 years!
He'll very easily take over Belarus.
Lukashenko knows his position is precarious. His own military will remove him before they agree to invade Ukraine, but Putin's patience is running out. When Lukashenko refuses again to push his own army into Ukraine Putin will have him removed and replaced by a more compliant puppet.
The Belarusian people seem to have little interest in ousting their own dictator, so unfortunately it won't be hard for Putin to just move in and take over. He'll decapitate the Belarusian military and force them to join Russia.
Everything is going according to plan! Off to the gulag you go!
🙄
At what cost?
Just a minor miscalculation. 😀
😆
Is this a surprise? I'm sure anyone that has been even paying a bit of attention could tell you that was on the books
Lukashenko was quoted shortly after saying "wait what?"
