Putin planning to intervene in Belarus

    Belarus and Russia: Fraternal Nations But Not a Union State | Global Security Review




Vladimir Putin has confirmed that Russia will fulfill all its obligation in Belarus if 'extremist elements' are judged to have 'crossed the line' .

The Russian President said he acted after a conversation with Alexander Lukashenko, in which the incumbent president of Belarus asked if Russia would stand by its commitments to defend his country.

'I said that Russia will fulfill all its obligations,' Putin said from Crimea, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014 after the overthrow of the pro-Russian government.

'But we agreed that it will not be used until the situation starts to get out of control.'

Asked by reporters for the Russia-1 TV channel what 'crossing a line' would mean, Putin gave the examples of 'burning cars and looting'.

Since August 9 after the presidential election which was adjudged by Belorussians  to be rigged by the president Lukashenko resulting in people coming out on the streets to protest.

 Lukashenko is a personal friend of Putin and the two countries share mutual defence pact, .

Belarus borders three NATO states: Poland, Lithuania and Latvia. 

Lukashenko has accused NATO chiefs of building of forces around the border. NATO said is merely a defensive move.

It is believed a Russian force has been on standby for at least one week as Belarus sees massive protests against Lukashenko.

Puitin cited a “union state” of Russia and Belarus, which has a customs union and defence protection element.

'Of course we have obligations to Belarus,” he said. 'And [Lukashenko] asked me in that respect: He asked to be given relevant help when it was needed.

'I said that Russia will comply with all its obligations.'

He said: 'As members of the Union State we are obliged to provide each other help in protecting sovereignty, the external borders, and in protecting stability.'

MASS BREAST FEED PROTEST AT LONDON 5 STAR HOTEL

Image
40 women in London staged a mass breast feed protest outside 5 star hotel Claridge's. The reason for the protest was that staff of Claridge's Hotel told a mother Louise Burns to cover up while she was feeding her baby. After this incidence the leader of UKIP Nigel Farage when asked in a radio programme about women breast feeding their babies in public he said that a woman who wants to breast feed her child should sit in a corner to avoid offending people. So the women organised to breast feed in front of the hotel as a protest. If we do not hide when we eat why should a baby hide. I do not see why any one should be offended to see a breast on a baby's mouth. See more pictures below

When he made this statement Jada Pinkett denied it. But She has come out to confess to having affair with August Alsina. She revealed this on her Facebook show Red Table Talk in a heart to heart talk with the husband Will Smith. She said it happened while the 2 were separated.          "We were over," she says. "From there, as time went on, I got into a different kind of entanglement with August." Mr Smith then pushes her, saying "an entanglement? A relationship."
