Putin Pledges Nuclear-Capable Missiles for Belarus as Ukraine War Grinds On
Newsweek ^ | June 25, 2022 | Xander Landen

Russian President Vladimir Putin told Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko Saturday that Russia will provide Belarus with nuclear-capable missile systems.

According to Reuters, during a meeting in St. Petersburg, Russia, Lukashenko raised concerns about the "aggressive" and "confrontational" actions of neighboring countries Poland and Lithuania. He also discussed nuclear-armed flights near the Belarusian border being conducted by the U.S.-led NATO alliance, and reportedly asked Putin to help his country with a "symmetrical response."

Last month, the Russian president sold nuclear-capable Iskander missiles and S-400 missile systems to Belarus.

Not sure of what NATO was expecting after being so cute with Ukraine.

#2. There are only a few reason why that would happen. A nuclear capable Belarus is not going to help with any of them.

Is Belarus really interested in fighting Russia’s war?

Specifcally, are the soldiers motivated to die for Moscow?

He was being taken to the hospital there. Doctors only give him a 40% chance of recovery.

“Putin motorcade rushing back to the Kremlin after midnight tonight”

Sounds like surrender talk is happening, now that most of Donbass has been liberated by Russia.

…as the war grinds one? What? Vlad is taking territory back cautiously, showing much restraint. A reminder for the “ kids”, our Vietnam started in 65, ended in 72,. Like Vietnam , Vlad was invited in to help combat the Ukie Donbass atrocities, he is doing much , much better than the US ever did. I expect he finishes up the Donbass in weeks, question is does he eat Odessa for lunch?
The Russian public is urging him to take it, as Catherine the Great created the Russian city.

Putin was rushed back from St Petersburg to Moscow one day earlier than expected. He looked terrible in the video released from his meeting with Lukashenko earlier today.

And with the recent reports of Putin’s severe nosebleeds and incontinence this week, something is definitely up. He was supposed to do a press conference with Lukashenko on Sunday and obviously it’s not happening.

“...question is does he eat Odessa for lunch?”

That’s a given at this point. Russia can’t exist without a decent buffer zone from Ukraine.

Ukraine can thank the Neocons for their mess.

Apparently, he tried to slip poison to a bad general and somehow ended up drinking it himself.

Putin hissed “Гранула с ядом во флагоне с драконом; сосуд с пестиком имеет напиток, который является истинным” and then keeled over.

Belarus needs the troops to suppress the opposition in the country. If the soldiers are sent to Ukraine, the government may possibly collapse. The Russians are occupied right now. Alexander Lukashenko isn't stupid.
