  1. RUSSIA AND PUTIN MAKE BELARUS A NUCLEAR TARGET

  2. Why so surprised.!!!…Belarus and their president is a puppet country for Russia. In fact Belarus is part of Russia !!!!

  3. Ukraine now do deal with USA to place nukes in Ukraine or gift nukes to Ukraine

  4. Cool, we should station a few tactical nukes in Ukraine.

  5. Another neighbor putin sets up for deterrent for his assault against west making every neighbor including specific china a target now Belarus

  6. He knows he's losing and this is a feeble attempt at Blackmail. Nuclear capable systems are already in Belarus but Putin won't dare to move the warheads there. Disregard and increase weapons supply to Ukraine.

  7. So does this mean that giving nukes to Ukraine is fair game now?

  8. The US has nukes in 6 different countries, why shouldn’t Russia?

  9. Putin is done. Nobody cares if he has twn or twenty nuclear armed planes. Nobody in their right mind, not even the U.S. or China will use nuclear weapons. Not even North Korea, the most irrational country, would even dare in their wildest dreams to use a nuclear weapon.

  10. And US NUKES stationed in Germany is not an issue right?

  11. This is freaking hilarious! NATO and Ukraine are upset that Russia is putting nuclear weapons in Belarus. Wasn’t this all started by Zelenskyy the week before the invasion stating in Germany that he wanted NATO and nuclear weapons in Ukraine. Zelenskyy, has killed thousands of his own people by making those irresponsible statements and poking the Bear right in the eye. If he would’ve kept his mouth shut, a lot of people would still be alive today.

  12. That's like the US making a deal with Hawaii….

  13. Big Table, small pee pee

  14. Where Joe Biden went wrong was never as to say that Putin is gaining momentum,yay.Belarus is beautiful just worry at random if individuals are truly aware of the truth. Feast or famine beware the necessary implementation of LOVE got yourself noticed Vladimir Putin you are priceless 💙💙💙✡️💜💜💜⭕️♥️🧮🪢

  15. We are always with Ukraine and USA

  16. Putin thought he would get away with annexing Ukraine (as he did with Crimea) in his push to resurrect the Russian Empire and probably to overrun the whole of Europe with his barbaric regime.
    He did not count on NATO and the West coming together in solidarity to stop the sad, little megalomaniac. He is so immature and desperate that he has to start issuing threats to use nuclear weapons.

  17. in Putin we trust ❤

  18. Putin is now a bit reminiscent of the paranoid man who always picks fights in the pub and then shouts things like 'stop me!'

  19. Putin’s announcement to station nuclear weapons abroad for the first time since the mid-1990s came after he pledged in a joint statement with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Moscow on Tuesday not to do so. You cannot believe a Sociopath…………………Someone who's sociopathic is mentally ill and unable to tell right from wrong. Sociopathic people don't feel guilty about things they've done, because they lack a conscience.

  20. Look at the Democracy Index. Democratic states, in this case USA, Canada and EU work together to preserve their democracies and help Ukraine to become a free state itself. We are threatened by authoritarian regimes that make up the majority of the world. It's funny that people are fleeing west from all these authoritarian countries and we constantly have thousands of refugees at EU borders. China sympathizes with Russia because they are also authoritarian. The people who sympathize with Russia only do it because they compare Russia to the US and because they hate the US. I don't think the USA is perfect either, but I wouldn't want to live in an authoritarian regime either! NO ONE wants to live in such a regime, so people should finally grow up and realize that a democracy can vary, can be adapted and we don't ALL have to live according to the US model. Democracy isn't perfect right now, but that does NOT mean we should go back to medieval times and towards dictatorships. In dictatorships, only a handful of egocentrics benefit, while the majority are slaves who have no rights to free speech. Wake up folks!

  21. I've heard thousands of speeches and interviews of putin, this is the first time where I actually hear his voice trembling

  22. I thought the nukes were already in Belarus, this is all bluster from the Spin King. There is one certainty in all this madness…………Putin is a Murderous Sociopathic Despot.

  23. yeah it's a pretty much useless move, nothing will happen everyone is happy and has a lot of free time. So everything gonna be ok. They started to give only defensive weapons, mainly Himars, then artillery, then tanks, then uranium munitions and at some MIG 4. Nothing to worry about everything is under control

  24. And you were worried that President Donald Trump would do something to involve the US in a nuclear war.
    How is this a good thing?

  25. Zelensky will definitely destroy Ukraine to rubbles with Biden and Europeans 😂🎉

  26. No problem, we'll just stage nukes in Poland.

  27. Putinitler terrorista confirmado, procurado onde a vida humana tem valor!

  28. Keep up terrifying the capitalist

  29. He wouldn't need to raise his voice if his chair was closer to his guest.

  30. White man walk out 5th of April, everybody

  31. WSJ of all places is describing Zelenskyy mobilization in this way: "Mr. Zelensky in January introduced even harsher punishment for desertion and disobedience. A disabled person was drafted in western Ukraine and pronounced fit for service despite having no hands. Another died on the front lines within a month of mobilization after 10 days of training, according to his relatives." Zelenskyy is catching and forced conscripting often at gunpoint mostly people with zero motivation to die for him, who never served in the army, often disabled. Biden administration is getting quite desperate. The only option left for Biden administration is to throw Polish army into a meat grinder. I just hope that Polish government isn't that crazy. Putin is sending a clear message to Poland by deploying tactical nukes in Belarus .

  32. Putin looks weaker and weaker every day. Not only on the battlefield. His body is decaying.

  33. Putin is a respected leader while American's have to put up with Bozo the clown.

  34. the rabid dog must be putin the ground

  35. Russia is doing what the USA did to Afghanistan and Irak , only they didnt invented a motive like the USA

  36. And if then Belarus is at fault, not Russia…

  37. RIP all Putin's deceased ancestral souls.

  38. Okay let's play that game; lets put nukes in Finland on the Russian border. Checkmate.

  39. Pentagon…. "Russia isn't preparing to use nukes."

    Meanwhile…

    Russia moves nukes into Belarus, stations nuke subs off USA coast.

    Preps nuclear bunkers in Russian cities, Russian nuclear forces are at a heightened alert and readiness. Repeated warnings from Russia that nukes will be used if NATO continues to suport Ukraine.

    Meanwhile…. NATO…. Maybe we should start flying drones and nuclear capable bombers all around the Russian border. Oh yah, lets start sending Ukraine planes via Poland.

    Yah I can't see how this ends well.

    I give it a 50% chance that a tactical nuke is used before the end of summer 2023.

  40. America&Europe Nobody is Perfect Hasta La Vista Baby Nuclear drone fighter jets in Kurdistan&Israel

  41. So Putin is just a content creator for western media now. Great! Wake up people. You are being distracted by all this BS.
