So much for "hope and support", our western shield of the Fatherland, a bastion that holds back the NATO hordes, the only and inimitable ally. Now at least there will be no illusions on this score. In the morning money - in the evening an ally, in the evening money - in the morning an ally, you can just be an ally, but money in advance!
I understand this hint something like this - Our outpost operates on a commercial basis, the funds on the account are running out, to extend the "border with a lock" service, add the missing amount to the current account, in case of late payment, the portal opens automatically, reactivation is a paid service and paid additionally. Best regards, reliable friend and loyal comrade, yours sincerely. A.G.

  Calm down. Lots of text. Belarus, like the Russian Federation, are members of the Partnership for Peace program, the CSTO Charter has not been violated in any way ...
  You can understand the British, familiarizing the British paratroopers with the tactics of the actions of paratroopers of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus (who conducted joint exercises with the Russian paratroopers from the 76th Airborne Forces recently) will not hurt, especially since it is similar to the tactics of the actions of the Russian paratroopers ....
  By the way, each British company included in the SAS Special Forces regiments has both parachute and diving platoons, so for the sake of reconnaissance of the future theater of operations, the British SAS will take off its sand-colored berets and put on at least a Budenovka, just to get into the lair of a useful village. ..and".....
  I won’t be surprised if the next place of the mission of the Belarusian peacekeepers will be a country where there are no forests, however, this is not the fault of the British ...

    The program began after the collapse of the USSR, the participants of the entire former "Warsaw Pact", why then it was signed, I think there is no need to explain. The question is why activity is intensifying right now, for what purpose? And the charter is not about a formal specific violation, but about a strategic course.

    The British can be understood and it is not about them. Belarusians also understand and forgive?

    It doesn’t matter who they send, even though the Nepalese Gurkhas are already details, they don’t change the essence of the matter.

    Here I am about the same. Before Belarus, all kinds of foreign missions were categorically not interested. Let's wait to be sent to Iraq? Or Afghanistan?
    For those who want to break their throats for the "chairman", tell about our reliable ally, I advise you to remember:
    
    Minsk is bound by allied obligations with the CSTO countries, but Belarus will not fight for their interests on the territory of foreign states, President Alexander Lukashenko said.
    "If someone tries to fight with us, we will defend ourselves and fulfill our allied obligations with Russia, but only on this piece of land." (30.03.2016/XNUMX/XNUMX)

- And what does it .. .. ???
- Or as "pies for the road" our "brothers-Belarusians" want to offer this "9M318 to the Buk-MB air defense system" to the British marines ...
“And the marines have something to offer the Belarusians ...” “They once noted in the Falklands ...”
- And the Belarusians will also teach them the Russian language (there will be communication not in the "Belarusian move") ... - and many British (special forces) study the Russian language ... - after all, Russia is for them ... - enemy number 1 .. ...
-Such, brother, affairs ...
