Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said that Russia has started moving tactical nuclear weapons to his country.
“We had to prepare storage areas and stuff. We have done this, so the movement of nuclear weapons has already begun," Lukashenko told Russia’s Pervy TV.
Lukashenko, who was on a trip to Moscow, said some of the weapons might already be transferred.
He refused to specify the number of weapons and locations of their storage in Belarus and said: "Don't worry about nuclear weapons, we are responsible for this."

they weren’t the only spies in Washington, and many think this was anti-Semetic.
I’ve been to Belarus. I wouldn’t trust Lukashenko with my car, much less nukes. Of course Vlad will actually have the trigger button.
Vlad is just waiting to takeover Belarus, he knows Luka’s days are numbered.
Oh yeah, I don’t trust anything any of them say.
“Two more electric shocks were applied, and at the conclusion eyewitnesses reported that smoke rose from her head.”
A witch! Should have burned her at the stake.
“The United States has six nuclear bases in five European nations, so what’s wrong with this?”
1) No first use authorization
2) No tactical command authorization
3) Centralized command decisions and launch authorization.
Basically cedes first strike to the adversary.

I agree. Russia’s ‘new dimension’ will probably be an invasion of Belarus followed by a feeble northern front opening against Ukraine.
I expect Belarus to be the flashpoint, not Ukraine. This gets the Russians right up to the Polish border.
1. Those countries freely consent to hosting the nukes
2. There is democratic accountability inside those countries for the decision to host rather than one man’s unilateral sign off without any other part of government having a say in it.
3. Nobody’s pointing a gun at their leaders’ heads to convince them to say yes... Unlike Putin strong-arming Lukashenko to agree.
4. Those countries didn’t have a Budapest Memorandum style deal with Russia and the USA and UK, where all signatories agreed to keep nukes out of the country in return for guarantees against them ever being invaded or blackmailed.
5. European nukes are not targeted at Russia, or at any country in fact. That’s due to a long standing international agreement to the effect of, NATO and Russia are NOT at war therefore they don’t need to be pointing their nukes at each other. Guess which country is violating that convention... Of course, it’s Russia. Which announced it was going to target European cities preemptively, several years ago.
If Lukashenko dies in Moscow after being taken seriously ill while meeting Putin, after getting taken seriously ill while meeting Putin last time they met up, EU NATO is going to assume Putin bumped him off for being insufficiently compliant.
Which will then be the second (alleged) presidential assassination executed by Russia in Europe in the 21st century. And (allegedly) the fourth assassination attempted.
Better hope that it’s fake news. Because if Lukashenko dies and Putin decides it’s his right to install a new president without letting the Belorussians deal with it as an internal matter, Belarus will definitely make the 2013-2016 Donbas conflict look like a small playground squabble.
The Russians cant wait to nuke someone. It’s all they ever talk about.
They are like six year olds. I hope they get their drunk butts pushed back a lot this summer.
Beat it foreigner. Americans have had enough of your Russia! Russia! Russia! lies and distortions.
You’re about as pro American as Benedict Arnold.
Russia is already on the Polish border in occupied Koenigsberg and nothing’s happened. I would hope the Russians have the sense to avoid hostilities with NATO.
If not, then that will be the end of Russia.
Well the Belarus border is just a little bit longer, and then of course they could attack on two fronts.
Just like when the Nazis moved into Slovakia right before they invaded Poland in 1939.
Jon is 100% all-in for Russia. His posting history validates this.
That ended well for the Nazis just as it will end for the rUSSRians.
I do believe the Poles would kick the Russians butts if they invaded Poland, and nothing NATO could say would hold them back.
Lukashenko’s plane has not returned to Minsk. It arrived in Moscow on May 24th and is still there.
Scram British. We don’t like you.
