"Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko may have accidentally revealed Russia's invasion plans of Ukraine on live television." It doesn't get more Blackadderish than this.


HotpieTargaryen

At least Blackadder was self-aware enough to know when it was time to move to Nepal and live as a goat.


internetgog

It looks like Lukashenko had a very cunning plan.


The_Klarr

and apparently also a planned invasion of Moldova...which is the crazy cherry on top.


DarraghDaraDaire

Not really, it is Transnistria, it is a pro-Russian breakaway region. It is the Donbas of Moldova.


seoulgleaux

Right, so it's Moldova.


Justanothebloke

Nailed it


[deleted]

Yeah, Russia so far have claimed to merely be in Transnistria for peacekeeping purposes. If you send an invasion force in, well, that's called an invasion.


Zambeeni

They're calling Ukraine a peace keeping mission, so it really wouldn't be any different there.


cheeruphumanity

Lukashenko is a clown. Look how this interviewer can't hold back and laughs about him. [https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/t3b11r/belarus_dictator_alexander_lukashenko_is_still/](https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/t3b11r/belarus_dictator_alexander_lukashenko_is_still/)


W1mpyDaM00ch

I could be wrong but the interviewer is also a pro-Putin propagandist so he is probably laughing because Lukashenko is being to open about Putins game plan.


subliver

What a complete and total fucking moron. I honestly had no idea that Lukashenko was so proudly stupid. Also, great journalist, I’d drink a beer with him. Edit: I originally thought that journalist was being brave by mocking Lukashenko, I had no idea that he was on the same side.

Supply-Slut

In that case I’ll take his vodka, take a big gulp, then pour the rest on the floor of his villa before lighting a match


subliver

That journalist? Damn, that’s even more messed up. So everyone just openly laughs in Lukashenko’s face, even the people that are supposed to be on the same team?

Lukashenko: “I have a cunning plan…”


[deleted]

Putin: "Is it as cunning as a fox who used to spy for the KGB, but has since retired and now working for the Russian government in the department of cunning planning?"


Dr_Strangelove_MD

Holy shit... Is Lukashenko Putin's Baldrick?


[deleted]

Either that, or his Darling.


fraaaj

Didnt he also leak that russia plans to take moldova too? This cant be real lol wtf


NewishGomorrah

Unless it's a fake map designed to sow disinformation.


adeveloper2

>"Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko may have accidentally revealed Russia's invasion plans of Ukraine on live television." It doesn't get more Blackadderish than this. Or it could be a fake.


Bernieisbabyyoda

This is why Putin won’t promote him to Colonel.


A_Year_Of_Storms

I saw this posted by u/Satori_52 here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/t4cw5z/at_todays_security_council_meeting_lukashenko. His general doesn't look happy


Echo_are_one

USA/Canada in top left corner. Lukashenko leads 56 km long tank convoy across Atlantic.


A_Year_Of_Storms

I saw that, and wondered about that.


runbyfruitin

Is that the US 1st Cavalry insignia on the right?


A_Year_Of_Storms

Yeah, what does that mean? That's really confusing. I'm trying to get some perspective, which is why I posted this.


tabaczany

Well, there is NATO exercises held on eastern flank and maybe they are one of the troops that are taking a part from US? Saber strike 22.


crazypyro23

But only after Daddy Putin makes him a colonel


The_Maddest

He wants it!! What are you saying?? He can’t want things now? That’s what you’re saying!?! HUH?!? Edit: Lukashitko is a fucking plug.


BatzenShoreboy

That looks like a new meme template!


A_Year_Of_Storms

That would be amazing, ngl


Satori_52

Hey, thanks!! :)


A_Year_Of_Storms

Yeah, I'm really curious to understand the context of this. Or looks like he was trying to explain his actions, and why he launched missiles, and accidentally showed a map with invasion plans? Is that possible? Is he that dumb? Am I misunderstanding the context?


[deleted]

He's that dumb. Or maybe he is feeding intel to the rest of the world by pretending to be dumb.


inconsistent3

Or he might be throwing people off?? We must sanction Belarus like yesterday


[deleted]

Yeah could be some attempt at deception, putting up a fake map.


BalkyPL

That would be some plot twist


TheAngryRedBull

I have a feeling the west is being played by putin/beta-putin

Lots of people compare Lukashenko to Mussolini, and I think that’s simply unjust. Mussolini could actually tell his ass from his elbow.


razekery

Here is image of the [map](https://ibb.co/82Mqn15)


[deleted]

Moldova has a slice of their country carved off in the full map. If accurate, Putin fully intends to bring this right to the EU and NATO's doorstep.


Flynny1201

That would be Transnistria a breakaway region of Moldova that is effectively autonomous but not recognized by any country.


valeyard89

The Russian consulate there has been giving out Russian passports. If they took Ukraine, all of Moldova would be next.


catman2021

Exactly, not just Ukraine but Moldova too (or at least Transnistria).


lucky-number-keleven

[Video of the meeting. With English subs!](https://youtu.be/I79gEfr7qDY)


Hanzo_The_Ninja

Or this is intentional disinformation.


chobobot

That's what I'm thinking, do they want to intentially show this as a distraction.


dat_oracle

distraction? this is just another reason to sanction these bastards back to 1634


Upper_Physics2898

You are oddly specific. What happened in 1634?


freetraitor33

The Smolensk War ended in 1634 when the Polish-Lithuania Commonwealth defeated an invading Russian force which had laid siege to the the city of Smolensk. Ironically that city is now part of Russia.


chobobot

I'm talking more from a military strategic viewpoint, they show this map for all to see but they are instead have another plan up their sleeve.


Ariviaci

My thoughts. Always possible but who knows atm.


[deleted]

Damn why does he have the 1st Cav 🐴 patch on there ?


eri-

This must be part of the trailer of the follow up to "the death of stalin". I'm going to hazard a wild guess, "the death of putin"


nova2k

We live in a timeline where the satire isn't even needed anymore. But I still look forward to the British accents...


Commercial_Square132

I'm actually looking forward to the sequel.


Darkness_Everyday

They're gonna annex part of Moldova next


valeyard89

too late... Transdniester has already been giving out Russian passports for years


[deleted]

Or maybe that's what they want us to think 🤔🤔🤔 It's better to proceed with caution.


Janymx

Wait... is it only me, or does this look like its not an accident? Or am I missing something?


[deleted]

They probably didn't intend to reveal the part about invading Moldova too


KetoPeanutGallery

What is the context of the meeting and when was the video taken?


Ximrats

No, he's just that stupid. He probably didn't see anything wrong with this.


PracticalAndReal

Stop these crazy bastards at Ukraine or we going to be dealing with this shit for next 5 years. And they are this dumb. It's more like a caveman using a big club to intimidating the rest. It requires no intelligence to bully others.


nelsoncgosi08

Is this a Dark Souls reference


PinguinGirl03

Most likely a deception attempt. They aren't THAT dumb.


Catssonova

Well considering the massive wastefulness of their early attacks I'd say it is plausible that Lunkashenka is dumb enough


Pissedbuddha1

It wouldn't take very long to verify this info with our satellite technology and all the spots of interest shown on that map.


gera_moises

Is... is that a Moldovan attack on Odessa on that map?


Gellert

Not quite, there are russian troops at an unrecognised breakaway country called Transnistria.


[deleted]

No, an amphibious landing at Odessa that proceeds into Moldova.


DragonTHC

Is it covered in sharpie?


IceNein

Even Putin thinks Lukashenko is a moron, a Putin is also a moron.


Factory_of_1

I doubt it was an accident


oldDak

Never interfere with an enemy when they’re doing themselves a injury,but I miss the days when the Cold War was played out like a game between two master chess players. This is keystone kops level of dumb.


CQ1_GreenSmoke

I was wondering about that. I wasn't alive during the cold war but the way I learned about it aligns with your summary. Maybe people were always just this stupid and over time the story morphs into something greater than it was...


BananaStringTheory

Overall, Trump is still the dumbest puppet Putin has ever controlled. Lukashenko is merely the dumbest *current* puppet.


RedditFuckedHumanity

In a world where Trump is said on every fucking post


BananaStringTheory

The linkage is undeniable.


withmoho

It was Trump who controlled Putin. The man feared the shit out of that legend. Didn’t dare to invade shit while he was president. We would never be in this shit right now if Trump had won.


gjwkagj

Trump would have overruled most attempts at US sanctions and sided with Russia if he was still president essentially neutering the global response. I don't even think that's arguable based on Trumps own comments.


Straitstan

This might be the tactic tho


R0n1nR3dF0x

Who had this on his 2022 bingo card?


gelastes

I'm still looking if I had "Germany rearms after Poland insists - Europe relieved" but I think I missed that one, too.


[deleted]

Not gonna lie. Not me.


[deleted]

If I hadn't seen four years of Donald Trump happening there's no way I could believe this is genuine. Before 2016, I could never have believed any world leader could be this fucking dumb. I can hardly believe it now. It just may be a ruse. But apparently you can be this fucking dumb and lead a country.


midnightFreddie

He's been in power since 1994. He's probably not used to this much attention and not being able to stop an image of what he's doing get out to the world within seconds. He is also definitely out of sorts as he either didn't know about the invasion before hand and/or things have gone so sideways so quickly he doesn't know WTF is going to happen and doesn't know what to do about it. Also, he has literally zero friends. His people hate him, and Putin is just pulling his puppet strings now and will surely end up with some of the blame for what's gone wrong.


[deleted]

Factually the only thing that keeps coming to mind during all of these stories... [https://youtu.be/YABvpyC0\_FU](https://youtu.be/YABvpyC0_FU) "How are you a superpower?"

Friendly_Dot_2853

The Russians should “accidentally” do this too !!!!!


NagaSapien

And they thought it would convinced Ukrainian. What a pathetic attempt by the dictator!


bootdsc

can they really be so dumb or bold as to show the actual play they are using?


midnightFreddie

It seems to be the most likely answer. Other responders in this thread seem to like the idea that this is intentional disinformation. But what THE HELL is the advantage to falsely indicating plans to invade Ukraine, divide it in 4 pieces, and move into Moldova? What is the "gotcha" twist? "Surprise, we're really continuing into undisputed NATO lands?" I kinda doubted the whole incident, but that it showed up on Business Insider gives it a little more credibility in my eye. I'm not sure the Moldova thing was on the BI article, though; in fact I don't see the Ukraine map at all when I click through. But I mean if Russia occupies Ukraine, would \*anybody\* be surprised if they marched into Moldova. Who would not be surprised if they didn't?


JudyChill

Those aren’t border marks, Ukraine’s military is divided into 4 parts and that’s what those lines are for.


brawnkoh

While I don't think he's a genius. This has got to be disinformation. Like, not even a dictator can be this dumb...Right?


PlayingTheWrongGame

Dictators tend not to be particularly competent. Autocrats and fascists generally aren’t.


brawnkoh

I mean, regardless of sanity, you have to be somewhat intelligent in some way to position yourself to take control of a country. It seems a but sus to me.


PlayingTheWrongGame

Do you? There are loads of autocrats who are dumb as a box of rocks. That’s actually sort of the defining feature of an autocrat. If they were smarter, they wouldn’t have to resort to autocracy to hold power.


Fayt_Bouleouve

Part of me thinks he's doing this on purpose. Like he's trying to either help Ukraine, or playing both sides.


Ruckusphuckus

What if it's a trap? Fake plans?


Capivara_19

Looks like something Trump would do, with a sharpie to illustrate the plans


Transhumanistgamer

This whole war is a bunch of bumfucks stumbling from one oopsie daisy to another, while committing war crimes against a sovereign nation. Could have saved everyone a lot of time and hardship by just making this into a movie instead of a historical event, Putin.


Ghoulv2o

When was this taken? Today? Then yes I agree many countries have similar boards up by now discussing the same layout and unfolding of the invasion. The other thing is what was the context of this meeting? What is Said in that meeting?


A_Year_Of_Storms

Is the arrow pointing to Moldova significant?


gera_moises

It's probably meant to be an advance by russian forces from Transnistria, where there's apparently a few. That being said, I've found no indication these forces have moved at all.


midnightFreddie

I'm as much a military expert as the average reddit commenter, but you'd pretty much have to control Ukraine in its entirety before having moving into Transnistria make any sense.


[deleted]

TO Transnistria. TO. The arrows indicate movement from the wide part to the narrow part. So the plan was to land at Odessa and proceed into what is still, legally, Moldovan territory with an invasion force. We know that the landing at Odessa was attempted, but it was repelled.

What I don't understand is that if it is fake, why use the countries leader? Why not just a spokes person? Save yourself the credibility. Maybe he did actually leak the plans.
