Eastern European dictator Alexander Lukashenko told the AP in an interview that the snap military drills should not worry anyone in the West who might be afraid of the obvious might of the Belarusian war machine. “We do not threaten anyone and we are not going to threaten and will not do it. Moreover, we can’t threaten – we know who opposes us, so to unleash some kind of a conflict, some kind of war here in the West is absolutely not in the interests of the Belarusian state. So the West can sleep peacefully,” said Lukashenko, downplaying his country’s terrifying might.
