True, just how it is ok for rus to retaliate by striking directly into poland with sarmat.

Imagine being afraid of a few hundred wagners so much that you have a mobilization goal of 300k.

@DannyB-cs9vx historically allowing passage of troops from one territory is not a crime or make a party become involved, nor is it an act of war according to international law. If you want to talk about being involved, poland has done more than that. Supplying war equipment like tanks, allowing passage for foreign mercs, even sending their own mercs to ukr to attack rus. If you're talking about poland allowing passage of ukr army into rus, that makes sense because both ukr and rus are the combatants. But you're talking about uninvolved nations here, which is more than enough reasons for rus to retaliate in belarus behalf.

@DannyB-cs9vx somebody will. If ukr attack belarus, whatever their targets may be, it will be considered an attack of uninvolved nations, justifying a retaliation or direct intervention, just as is the case if rus decided to attack poland because "it has ukranian tank there that's being repaired". If foreign troops deployed to ukr, it will be considered an escalation. But if ukr is the one who started attacking belarus, belarus can move in onto ukr proper with it's army without it being considered an escalation due to the fact that ukr attacked first. Same thing happened in Georgia back in 2008, when pro Georgian troops fired at rus peacekeeping forces in a disputed territory and rus moved in to the capital to force them to sue for peace. You may get a different narrative from the media about that conflict, but it doesn't change the fact that according to UN ruling, it's the Georgian that attacked first, basically provided a legal basis for rus to intervene directly without repercussions. Same thing will happen if ukr decided to attack belarus territory. Belarusian army may not be as strong, but opening a new front will provide a measure of headache for the ukr army, especially with their own offensive facing a stalemate and them continue to lose territory in kharkov region. Have I mentioned that rus also had over 100k troops stationed in belarus right now? The ukr military knows this, they won't do what you suggested for the reason I mentioned above. If they made their decisions based their current emotions like how you feel right now, they would have lost long ago. This is why critical thinking and tactical consideration took precedence over everything else. And they know this.

@DannyB-cs9vx you're right. If poland allowed other forces to pass through, they can. But the country that is sending forces WILL be a party involved. You think the US will send troops? They won't. Now you decided to switch topics to a speculative tirade. Nay-toe has extended it's invitation into ukr, which is why this happens in the first place. And under the UN security charter, YOU CAN launch an SMO under the pretext of security concerns. As for the matter of natsees, i don't need to comment on this since even western media alone has covered this issue pre-2022 in detail about the far right bandærites movement that worships the ideology and has the tattoo to prove it.

@DannyB-cs9vx does that mean that they can't do anything? Of course not! Belarus army exist, even tho it's small. They have tanks, aircraft, and many other military equipment! But as I said, rus had over 100k troops there too, that is a huge army for ukr northern border. You are deeply misguided if you think nothing will happen. Read my comment above, I've outlined the reality of what will happen if they do attack belarus.

@MangoMonster2007 at it's peak, wagner composed of 30k strong. After the mutiny which the majority did not join, most are instead signing contracts with the MoD and becoming regular troops. There's around 8k that mutinied. Some decided to retire, others sent to africa. This leaves a tiny amount moving to belarus, which still does not justify the 300k mobilization troops. Even if we bloat the number of the wagner to 3k, that is still 100 troops for every wagner. Either they believed that wagner is superhuman, or they have a different agenda. Like invading belarus for example, and just making excuses to justify the invasion.

@DannyB-cs9vx wait, you're saying that "belarus isn't involved" but it's ok to attack anything inside belarus from poland, who is also not involved? If that's the case, wouldn't it also be ok for rus to attack inside poland, who is not involved? What kind of argument is that lol
