WWIII Watch: Russia to Put Nuclear Weapons Back in Belarus

Things keep getting safer and safer, eh? Thank goodness Biden is on top of this from (checks calendar) his home in Delaware for the weekend yet again

Putin says Moscow to station nuclear weapons in Belarus, first time since 1990s

Russia will station tactical nuclear weapons in neighbouring Belarus, President Vladimir Putin said on Saturday, marking the first time since the mid-1990s that Moscow will have based such arms outside the country.

Putin made the announcement at a time of growing tensions with the West over the Ukraine war and as some Russian commentators speculate about possible nuclear strikes.

“Tactical” nuclear weapons refer to those used for specific gains in the battlefield rather than those with the capacity to wipe out cities. It is unclear how many such weapons Russia has, given it is an area still shrouded in traditions of Cold War secrecy.

Experts told Reuters the development was significant, since Russia had until now been proud that unlike the United States, it did not deploy nuclear weapons outside its borders.

Belarus has borders with three NATO members – Poland, Lithuania and Latvia.

So, under Trump there were no new wars, peace was spreading in the Middle East, and Russia wasn’t getting frisky. Under Brandon, he gave up Afghanistan to the Taliban, China is getting frisky with Taiwan, and Russia invaded Ukraine and is stationing tactical nukes in an allied nation. But, hey, no mean tweets, right?

Speaking of Afghanistan

Remember this? Remember how Biden abandoned billions of dollars worth of military equipment to a terrorist organization? https://t.co/A8nhiKuvql
