Understandably Defensive

Russia and Belarus are indeed conducting exercises. Given the buildup of NATO forces next door, who can blame them? Neither Putin nor Lukashenko comes close to the dangerous wickedness of Erdogan, around whose regime NATO very largely revolves. The Alliance with Turkey is as dangerous as the alliance with Saudi Arabia, and for very much the same reasons. Whereas Russia and Belarus, the Belarus that lost a third of its population during the Second World War, are once again on the right side. Not "perfect". But "on the right side".
