Popular Post animalmagic Posted March 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2023 Let me see if I have this correct. Putin directed a special military operation (invasion) into Ukraine because they wanted to join NATO and he didn't want NATO troops or weapons stationed near his border. But now he intends to station tactical nukes in Belarus, basically a client state, that has borders with 3 NATO countries. No hypocrisy to see here then! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which ones? And how will "Russian nuclear rhetoric" or Russian nukes in Belarus affect the "freedom of the European countries and a lot of others"? .

Russia already had delivery systems that can reach anywhere on the globe, placing nukes in Belarus is simply a show.

Yes. Mind you, they also had a world beating state of the art Main Battle Tank in the shape of the T14 "Armata". Until it had to be towed off the parade in Red Square by a recovery vehicle! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
