Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko has claimed that nations who are willing “to join the Union State of Russia and Belarus” will be given nuclear weapons, days after confirming the transfer of some tactical nuclear weapons from Moscow to Minsk had begun.
Lukashenko, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, made the comments in an on-camera interview released Sunday on the state-run Russia 1 channel.
During the interview, Lukashenko said, “no one minds Kazakhstan and other countries having the same close relations that we have with the Russian Federation.”
“It’s very simple,” he added. “Join the Union State of Belarus and Russia. That’s all: there will be nuclear weapons for everyone.”
Signed in 1999, the Agreement on Establishment of the Union State of Belarus and Russia Treaty set up a legal basis for a wide-ranging alliance that spanned economic, information, technology, agriculture, and border security among other things between the two countries, according to the Belarus government website.
It was not clear how wide Lukashenko’s invitation to join the Union State extended, and he offered no other specifics.

During the interview, Lukashenko said, “no one minds Kazakhstan and other countries having the same close relations that we have with the Russian Federation.” Did Kazakhstan allow Russia to use itself as a staging ground for the invasion of a neighboring country?
Nah, didn't think so!

...and having nuclear weapons, they will join the target list of other nuclear-armed countries.
Such a deal!

Because the former USSR states loved Russia so much they want to give up their independence to get the old band back together.

More fallout from sticking our noses into Russia’s backyard.

Don't worry about. Haven't you heard that Putin and Lukashenko are dying or dead already? There will be regime changes and George Soros and WEF will soon be in charge of both countries.

Bogus headline
Deliberately misconstrued Lukashenko’s meaning that RUSSIA would provide nukes to its allies ( not what RUSSIA said, just Lukasheno bloviating)
The tac nucs being moved to Belarus…stay under Russian control
The nucs the US moves to other countries..stay under US control

The big story is that the "Anschluss" between Belarus and Russia is pretty much fait accompli.
