“The movement of the nuclear weapons has already begun,” Alexander Lukashenko, President of Belarus declares.

* Russia, US, EU in war of words over the deployment.

* Belarus borders three NATO country Poland, Lithuania and Latvia. The deployment comes days after Russia's deputy foreign minister, Alexander Grushko warned Western countries of “enormous risks” if Ukraine is provided with F-16 fighter jets.

“It involves colossal risks for themselves. In any case, this will be taken into account in all our plans, and we have all the necessary means to achieve the goals we have set.”

THE DEPLOYMENT

Russia has started to move tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus in the first such deployment on foreign soil since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, according to the Belarusian president.

“The movement of the nuclear weapons has already begun,” Alexander Lukashenko told reporters during a summit of the Eurasian Economic Forum in Moscow. Asked if the weapons were already in Belarus, he said: “Possibly. When I get back I will check.”

The US believes Russia has about 2,000 tactical nuclear weapons, which include bombs that can be carried by aircraft, warheads for short-range missiles, and artillery rounds. Such weapons have a relatively short range, and lower yields than nuclear warheads fitted to long-range strategic missiles. The US has around 200 of these tactical weapons, half of which are at bases in Europe.

Belarus borders three Nato members – Poland, Lithuania and Latvia. Russia’s defence minister, Sergei Shoigu, said that Iskander-M missiles, which can carry conventional or nuclear warheads, had been transferred to the Belarusian armed forces. He also said that some Su-25 aircraft had been converted for the possible use of nuclear weapons.

US Denounces The Deployment Plan:

Biden said on Friday he had an “extremely negative” reaction to reports that Russia has moved ahead with a plan to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, Reuters reported. The US state department denounced the Russian nuclear deployment plan.

The US has said the world faces the gravest nuclear danger since the 1962 Cuban missile crisis because of remarks by Vladimir Putin during the Ukraine conflict.

EU Foreign Policy Chief, Josep Borell Blows Hot:

"This is a step which will lead to further extremely dangerous escalation.

We call on Russia to abide by these commitments. The Belarusian regime is an accomplice in Russia’s illegal and unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine."

Borrell said any attempt “to further escalate the situation will be met by a strong and coordinated reaction”.

Russia Fires Back At United State:

DON'T LECTURE US ON NUCLEAR WEAPON DEPLOYMENT
"It is the sovereign right of Russia and Belarus to ensure their security by means we deem necessary amid a large-scale hybrid war unleashed by Washington against us,” Russia’s embassy in the United States said in a statement.

“The measures we undertake are fully consistent with our international legal obligations.”

The Russian embassy called the US criticism of Moscow’s deployment hypocritical, saying “before blaming others, Washington could use some introspection”.

“The United States has been for decades maintaining a large arsenal of its nuclear weapons in Europe. Together with its NATO allies it participates in nuclear sharing arrangements and trains for scenarios of nuclear weapons use against our country.”

Russia is throwing a subtle message at US and NATO. The message is straight and plain.
"You want war, we give you war' ...

Since NATO is trying to encircle Russia, I think it is also wise for Russia to start arming its allies with Nuclear weapons also. The repercussion of this move is that Russia is starting to position its weapon at strategic places too, so that when the nukes start going off, countries like Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania which borders Russia; NATO countries who are neighbours of Russia, which the US is using as frontal to wade war against Russia, will be the first to collect.

It is even refreshing and surprising to see Un!ted State, during its reaction to the deployment, referencing the Cuban missile crisis as a period unworthy of repetition. Even using it to preach to Russia. The same Cuban missile crisis started by US after it threatened to nuke Cuba just because of Russia's military base in the Cuba-country near US. Yet US want Russia to accept same thing in Ukraine.

War strategy is a like chess game. Give it to Putin. He is a master of the game.

Make we hear Word abeg. Na so so noise since last year February. If their skin full make them put body na.

My friend, That is exactly what they are doing right now -'Putting body' like you stated. Taking the fight to the war-mongers.

You read the report so? Study that map. It is a chess strategy. Putin is Using one country(Belarus) to checkmate three NATO countries (Poland, Latvia, Lithuania) , which borders Russia, that he knows NATO can use to attack in the future.

Romania and Bulgaria can't move anywhere because they will need to go through Ukraine or Crimea.
Crimea is under the control of Russia And Ukraine right now is under heavy bombardment from Russia.

The only NATO country left at the extreme end is Estonia. And It borders Russia directly. Won't be much problem for Russia to handle.

Good Move, as America no wan get Sense.

Donald Trump wanted to pull USA out of NATO, he wouldn't have led Ukraine to war if he was still the president, he believes in America first and never understood American taxpayers money should be spent defending Europe when the Europeans working together can defend themselves through a NATO without the USA as a member but as an ally.

Lol. And you believe this? Maybe you also believe horses fly.

Without NATO, US is incapacitated. Have you seen US go to or intervened in any war of lately without NATO? Even small Libya, US had to involve NATO and some EU members. US had to crawl on their knees, with enough propaganda and manipulations just to get UK involved in Iraq war. US without alliances will be like Sudan. They are like 'm*nkeys' (militarily and economically) they are only powerful and smart in the midst of plenty trees.

Trump only threatened to pull out if the other NATO countries ain't contributing to the alliance like US. The outburst came after their woeful performance in Afghanistan started becoming more obvious. Man was just trying to find something to heap the blame on, something as an excuse.

Trump never had the mindset of a meddlesome USA getting involved in wars and matters that doesn't warrant their involvement. The Russian invasion of Ukraine would have happened earlier if Hilary Clinton won, remember that it was under Obama Russia occupied parts of Ukraine due to American meddlesomeness in the politics of the country.

Like for Putin



Share for Ukraine

I agree with you. Trump always put America first. BUT what I am trying to is that, over time US has stepped on alot of toes, they have rewarded themselves with lot of enemies. Opting out from NATO will be of major consequence. US feeds, works, grows on alliances both militarily and economically. Without alliances and groupies; US is powerless. US need NATO more than NATO need US.

who's NATO ?
what's NATO without the USA ?

See eh, without the USA, there's no NATO. THE USA created NATO, and na still USA dey hold them together. Before this Ukraine conflict with Russia, relationship among NATO members was very very weak. na the invasion of Ukraine make USA rally around all it's members to come together.

Any family wey e be say na the Mama / Papa dey hold am together, the day the Mama / Papa no dey again, shey the family go still remain together ?

Slayer of the West, Putin remain the only action presido

How long will this continue...

Putin ll die mysteriously.

Yawns, Yen, yen, yen

US that is tens of thousands miles far away from Europe have its nuclear weapons stationed in Europe. So why can't Russia do the same when Belarus is just a neighbour they share border with?

Go Russia! Go Putin!!

The EU and by extension Josep Borell are big hypocrites.

Their hate for Russia and their innate and consummate desire to be American slaves has clouded their sense of reasoning.

And in your view nato doesn't have capacity to deploy war head in the countries you mentioned? No start what you can't finish

As a Presidential adviser to the US, We shall not allow it, Russia must be taught a lesson

America and Russia are husband and wife, any other country trying to poke nose into their marriage may feel the blunt.
