Russian President Vladimir Putin said Saturday he would deploy tactical nuclear weapons in neighbour and ally Belarus.

Putin has repeatedly issued thinly veiled threats he could use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, reviving Cold War-era fears.

He also said he would deploy depleted uranium ammunition if Kyiv received such munitions from the West following a British suggestion that it could supply Ukraine.

"There is nothing unusual here either: the United States has been doing this for decades. They have long placed their tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of their allies," Putin said.

Putin said he spoke to Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko and said "we agreed that we to do the same."

Don't worry, we will solve this by sending 50 billion more to Ukraine and depleting the SPR more.

One phone call to Putin telling him that we will flood the market with oil to the point he can’t give it away and this shit stops. But he won’t even bluff this move.

Nobody gives a fuck Putin. Nobody has done anything to warrant nuke usage. If you decide to nuke something without any rea justification then be prepared to recieve a full barrage coming back at you.


Carry on breaking it off in Russias ass Ukraine and NATO.

They already have missiles that can hit any spot on the globe from deep inside Russia. I don't see how it matters where they put a few tactical nukes.

I neither panicked nor wet myself the entire Cold War and Reagan was my first CIC when I first enlisted.   It’s a threat certainly but with MAD , not something to get all upset about.

Wat ?

Why in the world would the pedo flood the market with oil ?

He hates oil, he hates you , flooding the market would cause the price of gas to go down.

That is the LAST thing pedo wants . And Putin knows that , he wouldn’t believe it even if he said it ,

This whole thing is a huge win for Pedo .

I saw gas for under $3 a gallon yesterday . I bet the pedo is pissed at that .

Generally, moving weapons near their targets decreases the time window for detection, decision and response. If there is not decent ground or satellite based launch detection coverage of the launch sites then mobile assets like AWAC aircraft or Agis cruisers might have to be redeployed, which pulls them from other missions.

In a strange way, diversifying basing to third parties increases the probability of first use. Does U.S. leadership really care if the Russians strike Incirlik Air Base, Turkey in response to a U.S. strike? Does Russian leadership care if Belarus soaks a U.S. limited retaliatory strike? Is either side going to commit to full release in response? No, almost certainly not.

Diversified third party basing also makes some types of interception harder. If one side of using boost or mid flight phase interceptors then they might not be viable or they have to be redeployed.

Basing is a big topic! A huge wild card is exactly what the Russians are deploying to Belarus? Is this tactical aircraft with free fall/parachute retarded nuclear bombs? Are they nuclear cruise missiles? Are they hypersonic missiles? This is definitely an escalation.

The Norks would likely still be starving regardless of the sanctions though. It’s a feature of communism, not proof that sanctions work.

shorter distance  to targets and less time to counter if forward deployed. why else would we have nukes in Turkey

Along with SLBMs.

Capable nuclear nations can legally park hundreds of warheads on dozens of missiles on hard to find submarines just off the coast of their "target" in international waters ...

Let them motherfuckers light one off, just one. (if they can get it to light)

Yeah I'm in a bullseye, but the chances of any of their crap finding a target and actually working are minimal at best.
Their invasion of Ukraine has proved how incompetent they are and how bad ALL of their equipment is from top to bottom that they have showed their ass to the World that they have been bluffing the whole time since the Cold War started.

They know they would be wiped out in retaliation, with shit that works.

Fuck Russia.

I don't see why they have to move them into Belarus when they already have them on their side of the  Russian border. It's not like they are going to give Belarus operational control of the things.

If you thought that Russia started an invasion without pre-positioning a nuclear response, you really need to play more video games or something.
