  Yes.  Also like the Civil War faction but mostly like the country itself.  There's been several Russias in the past (the most famous historical example being Kievan Rus) but Belarus was named Belarus before the other White Russians came to prominence.  :D
context: Currently, Belarus is being occupied by the Russian forces, which are stationed on its training grounds, most likely for a long time, and there will be no future for Belarus as an independent state.
  
  He is not wrong. As long as they are ruled by a dictator that is ruled by another dictator they will literally never be independent. They will keep living under russia's boot. >
  
  That is why Ukraine and poland are training Belarusian regiments to fight them off. They are waiting once the Russian forces leave to replenish losses in Ukraine. >

  By the time Ukraine kicks Russia out, these units will be some of the most dedicated and battle-hardened motherfuckers on Earth.
  Change is coming to Belarus, whether Luka wants it or not. >
  
  Will they want to continue into Belarus after kicking out the Russians? Don’t they need a break? >
  
  Sure, take a nap. But then, fire ze missiles! >
  
  Wtf mate? >
  
  It's an old Internet meme. Maybe the oldest. >
  
  If this earns a r/whoosh please feel free to leave my name in
  Eta, don't badger me with mushrooms >
  
  Google fire ze missiles it's a 1 minute video cartoon of the world ending. It's old. >
  
  And "wtf mate?" is from the very same video... >
  
  There are Belarus soldiers fighting for Ukraine, and they know that they can not return home  until Belarus is free. >
  
  Damn that is ballsy af. >
  
  I will not post a link but their leader has an Instagram site where he has been recruiting people with the understanding that they cannot go home and recently they made their unit more official.
  I have actually been  To Belarus multiple times and it definitely brought back memories of life in the DDR >

  Summary from one quote: "Belarus is being occupied by military forces that are stationed at training grounds, most likely for a long time. And there will be no future for Belarus as an independent country" >
  
  Cool thought.   But I don't see his reasoning.   How does A imply B?  I would like to see his logic. >
  
  Nice bait.
  Lukaschenko himself said that he would love to be a general under Putin and it’s obvious to anyone with two working neurons that Belarus is currently a puppet government of Russia. >
  
  Waiting for the headline that after Russia sends the troops waiting in Belarus into Ukraine to reinforce that the Belorussian regiments being trained launch a coup and civil war making in it a 2 front war for Russia. >
  
  The Russian troops on the Ukrainian border in Belarus are probably there to stop Belarusian units getting in... >
  
  click bait title makes this sound like a threat instead of an observation. >
  
  The rest of the article makes it sound like a threat, tbh. I'm not sure the statement isn't meant as one. >
  
  Belarus is the definition of a client state. >
  
  "The Belarus is merely an extraterritorial extension of the glorious Russian federation and soon all countries in Eurasia, all the way to the Atlantic, shall be united under President Vladimir Putin.
  Just as soon as our special military operation, I mean total war, is complete in Ukraine."
  Medvedev or whatever, probably >
  
  They have proven they are juat a vassal state of Russia at this point. >
  
  This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 82%. (I'm a bot)
  
  
  Currently, Belarus is being occupied by the Russian forces, which are stationed on its training grounds, most likely for a long time, and there will be no future for Belarus as an independent state.
  "Belarus is being occupied by military forces that are stationed at training grounds, most likely for a long time. And there will be no future for Belarus as an independent country," he said.
  Separately, the commander specified that Ukraine has an eternal enemy, the Russian Federation, and that as long as this country exists, Ukraine will have no peace.

  Depends on the war's ending. If something Trianon-like happens to Russia, Belarus could get a chunk. >

  Looks like dumbass Lukashenko might get his wish of being a colonel after Putin annexes his country and deposes him as leader >
  
  Sorry, did you say Belarus, or Eastern Lithuania? >
  
  Why would they. Belarus is almost considered as a Russia Oblast. >
  
  This is a great example of when reading past the headline is a good idea.
  Hell, even reading the top comments before replying would've prevented a good majority of the dumbest replies here. >
  
  Since when is belarus independent?! >
  
  Putin is going to annex Belarus as a consolation prize when he can no longer sustain the war in Ukraine. >
  
  Definitely, Putin will annex Belarus if he fails to conquer Ukraine : with all Russian death, he has to show some result!! >
  
  Yea no. Belarus isn't going to become independent. Anytime soon. Regardless of any factors pointing to defective soldiers fighting for ukraine. Be real. >
  
  It's a country? I always thought it was just Russia's wet fart. At least their leader is. >
  
  Luka is definitely a wet fart.
  The people of Belarus though... Given how many people turned out on the street in protest about Luka "winning" (80% of the vote? rookie numbers.) in 2020. I think the total was just shy of 1 mil in a country with a population of about 6 mil? That's a lot of people and there seems to be no love lost between the people of Belarus and Russia. Sure Russia could roll through... but I think the people would form a whole of society resistance. And that's before the Belarusian volunteers in Ukraine return home with all of their experience. >
  
  It’s true. It’s not independent now. 
  Also the name… beautiful Russia… joking. 
  But leshenko sure as hell isn’t fooling anyone >
  
  Actually, the name is supposed to translate as, "White Russia." >
  
  Really. 
  Like the drink?
