Russia will start deploying tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus after special storage facilities are ready on July 7-8, President Vladimir Putin said on Friday, Moscow’s first move of such bombs outside Russia since the fall of the Soviet Union.
More than 15 months into the biggest land war in Europe since World War Two, Putin says the United States and its Western allies are pumping arms into Ukraine as part of an expanding proxy war aimed at bringing Russia to its knees.
Putin in March announced he wanted to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, an apparent warning to the U.S.-led NATO military alliance over it support for Ukraine.
Leading NATO countries say they will support Ukraine and help it defend itself for as long as it takes from what Kyiv casts as an imperial-style land grab by Russia which threatens the survival of the Ukrainian state.
“Everything is going according to plan,” Putin told Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko when discussing the planned nuclear deployment during talks at the Russian leader’s Black Sea summer retreat in Sochi.
“Preparation of the relevant facilities ends on July 7-8, and we will immediately begin activities related to the deployment of appropriate types of weapons on your territory,” Putin said, according to a Kremlin transcript of his remarks. *** Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukraine will not rest however until every last Russian soldier is ejected from his country, which he wants to join NATO as soon as possible.
Putin’s nuclear move is being watched closely by both the United States and its NATO allies in Europe and by China, which has repeatedly cautioned against the use of nuclear weapons in the conflict.

I see the crazy talk is back heh. It’s ok, light it up. I know where I’m going.
So you think we’re not supposed to respond if Russia fires a nuke at us or our allies?
And you’re another who thinks Russia can attack NATO with a nuke and we’re not supposed to respond?
And how do you propose we respond if Russia makes good on their daily nuclear threats and tosses a nuke at Warsaw, London, or New York?
uh......that means several cities in the US turn into mushroom clouds.
If the Ruskies fire a nuke we return in kind. Not full scale launch.
They’re not attacking anyone with a nuke. They’ve used thermobarics in Ukraine, but that’s it.
Not news. They’ve been there all along...
At either of those three, or DC? I would suggest a good response would be a Hallmark “Thank You” card in Cyrillic. :)
Yep
The real threat is from SLBMs, this is just theater. Remember we had nukes in Turkey when we cried foul over the USSR wanting nukes in Cuba. In fact we still have nukes in Turkey.
Okay...that was funny!
And I sincerely hope the Russians love their children enough not to go nuclear.
We allegedly pulled out the Jupiter missiles in Turkey.
We’ll be lucky if they don’t end up in Cuba also.
I think a better question is this: Are you willing to see every American city destroyed, are you willing to sacrifice your life and the lives of your family members and friends to "protect" a hyper-corrupt sinkhole, its phony, grifting, installed puppet leader and corrupt, West and America-hating scum including the WEF, Soros, Globalists, grifting politicians and their spawn like the Bidens, Romneys, Pelosis and Kerrys, defense contractors, Scumocrats, RINOs, the UN, the EU, the filthbags who concocted the destructive Covid lockdowns and persecutions, and the vile, leftist media who support the whole, rotten, corrupt thing?
To me, the answer is obvious.
Thanks Biden.
China just pumped money into Cuba. Bought the place.
#CCP installing a big digital Ear/Eye there to monitor us.
Xi may not want to share with Putin nukes.
Kaise Klaus und Yuval Harari are rooting that Putin goes nuclear to hasten du population reduction strategy..
However, if NATO and the U.S. topple the current Russian regime and replace it with a Boris Yeltsin type pro-Western government and particularly if Russia breaks apart as the Soviet Union did 32 years ago, China will be isolated on the world scene. India and Brazil will re-align with the West as will most of the small Marxist regimes like Cuba and Venezuela. Xi may think Putin a bit crazy, but he does not want to be reduced to submission to the decadent West and its anti-industrial, "green" agenda.
