Russian President Vladimir Putin says that Moscow will deploy some of its tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus next month, a move that the Belarusian opposition described as an attempt to blackmail the West.

    So, a guy I see interviewed on YouTube claims to be an ex-cia agent. He said he was basically a James Bond kind of agent. I always doubt these kinds of people.

    Anyway, he was saying that Russia will give nukes to belarus and possibly have Belarus’s launch the nuke to Ukraine or Poland.

    After that who does nato retaliate against? Belarus? Russia?

    So if he is correct, then Belarus may be launching nukes.

      The main purpose of nuclear weapons is nuclear deterrence, not launching them. Belarus being next to NATO’s occupying forces makes it a highly likely target for a NATO invasion, this secures some stability in the region from Russia’s perspective.
