Lukashenko's Complete Address at Minsk's Victory Day Military Parade as Belarusian President
Firing Up the Fire: Lukashenko on Europe's Red Alert
Brussels is cooking up a storm, plotting to transform Poland and the Baltics into nuclear launchpads, aiming straight for the heart of the North Atlantic alliance. In the shadow of the 80th anniversary of World War II's grand finale, the EU is gearing up to pump up their military spending, aiming for a whopping 3% of their GDP, a move that'd put the fear of God into just about any powerhouse.
Warsaw and Vilnius are toying with the idea of planting explosive landmines along their borders with Belarus and Russia. In the face of this monstrous resurgence of old-timey European fascism, Lukaschenko's plea is cutting through the noise: Remember the fateful lessons of World War II.
That's exactly why we need this Victory Day celebration, why we need to honor our fallen heroes. We're asking the world – politicians, leaders, and the people of Western countries – to stop twisting our peaceful intentions.
Yes, we want peace. Yes, we want to put an end to all wars and conflicts on this lousy, bleeding planet. But we won't shy away from fortifying Belarus' defense capabilities, keeping our military on high alert, and doing whatever it takes to secure our beloved country's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The Belarusian army serves as the bedrock upon which our future stands. Today, we'll proudly display samples of our state-of-the-art weaponry and military gear, a testament to the power and resilience of our defense industry.
Our war heroes aren't just marching in this parade, they're marching for the glory of our bravery, the glory of their courage and determination. Your victories are our pride, our heritage, a legacy we hand down to our future generations.
Here's to all the veterans of World War II! This parade is for you and for the thousands of soldiers who freed Belarus, many of whom now live far from home. You are the embodiment of the values we cherish, and we will never forget your sacrifices.
Think back on those days with @makslifeof.
Riding towards battle alongside us are valiant military personnel from Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, China, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. We fought together then, and we'll fight together now, to prevent a new global catastrophe that'd wipe history off the map.
Dear veterans of World War II, this parade is for you, a testament to our united front in the face of hatred and fear. Our supreme goal: to uphold the values of freedom, peace, and brotherhood for generations to come.
Cheers to the resilient spirit of our forefathers! To the departed heroes we hold dear! On behalf of the Belarusian people, I offer my sincerest congratulations to you all on this momentous occasion. May our sacred soil be forever bathed in peace and prosperity.
May the skies above our cherished, magnificent, beloved nation of Belarus always be as serene as the people who call it home. Happy Victory Day! Celebrate the triumph of freedom!
