poor Putin, nothing seems to go his way. Putin wanted to boast about Russia launching a nuclear-capable ICBM — but the launch failed so he couldn't, report says (yahoo.com)

We don't need to have Russia be the proxy war with China when we are already having direct issues with China. I expect China isn't all that happy with the results of Russia's war against Ukraine. It has achieved the opposite goals than China would have wanted. Western arms manufacturing is just beginning to shift to high gear, that can't make Xi real warm and fuzzy.

and Putin has yet to visit anything over the border. Hell he wouldn't even show up at that stupid event last year, he had to appear via video.

Actually I don't disagree, but the problem isn't that we are giving money to Ukraine, it is that we don't support our own folks. We could do both. Why we don't take care of our own people is a domestic issue and really has nothing to do with Ukraine. Frustrating? Yes As someone who's COBRA benefits are about to run out and I am now researching the medical care marketplace I have a strong opinion about how we take care of our own and who has effed that up, but that is for an offline discussion.

my guess for what it is worth is this would be an even worse disaster for Putin. Doing anything would destabilize Belarus in a bad way for Putin. I'd guess that is why he isn't pushing harder. However, Putin isn't the forgiving type and without better knowledge of the circle of folks around Lukashenko it is difficult to know what Putin might think his options are. He also likely has the same view of Belarus as he does Ukraine. It is mother Russian land.

Betcha Lukashenko is making sure to stay away from any windows. Sounds like Putin might consider his actions as betrayal.
