Russia and Belarus in one federation

[The SC]

On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko signed a decree on the merging of Russia and Belarus into a single federal state.

During the meeting of the State Supreme Council of the Russian Federation and Belarus, the Russian President stressed that "signing the decree is a step forward aimed at benefiting the peoples of the two countries and has nothing to do with the internal political situation," according to the Russian "Sputnik" news agency.

Putin stressed the need to create a secure and stable atmosphere at the borders of the two countries with other countries, and said: "We intend to jointly confront any attempts to interfere in the affairs of our two sovereign countries."

Lukashenko pointed out that the positions of Minsk and Moscow are identical on almost all contemporary issues.

Belarus is very vulnerable. When Europe's last dictator dies, Belarus joins NATO. There is a very strong anti Russia power in Belarus.

Russia and Belarussia in a single state is as natural as Anglos and Saxons in one state or Bavaria and Hessen in one state.

he's trolling.

That's not really a hot news. Union state was created more than 20 years ago already, it's just deeper integration that has stopped for a long time... There weren't movements to Union at least for a decade, but now (since the end of 2018) it continues with quite an enthusiasm from Lukashenko side.

Afghanistan and Pakistan should form a similar union.
