Putin Sends Nuclear Weapons to Belarus

Welcome to the TLDR News Daily Briefing

As stated by others, the nukes moving location are a total empty threat as the nukes had enough range to be launched from Russia already. The US and EU knew this already thus why they don’t feel worried. Russia knows this too thus it is total grandstanding in reality.

[infidelheretic]

A bad move on Belarus’s part. If nuclear war ever did break out now they are just another target.

[jammyjamjars]

It’s like if someone pointing a gun at you 10ft away moves to 9ft away, if they haven’t shot you by now, then moving 1ft isn’t gonna make a difference

[scaper]

Amazing! The number of nuclear weapons Belarus can use has gone from 0 to 0.

[thatapple]

Kinda ironic Belarus got rid of their nukes the second they gained independence and now they got nukes in their territory.

[KimJungGooner]

This solidifies Belurus's status as a Russian Vassal state in my opinion.

[juhotuho]

very briefly read the thumbnail as "Russia nukes belarus" :DD

had to take a double take

Also nuclear bombs arent limited by range, they can already reach all the way around the world, them being in Belarus is nothing but a liabity to Russia

[MuiltiLightRider]

Yet another show of strength from the great Russian leader and totally not a farsical distraction that changes almost nothing! Keep at it, Putin!

[tylrprkr]

We need to change public opinion about displaced people. It makes my stomach turn. What if you had to flee your home tomorrow, because of some crisis that seemingly came out of nowhere or you tried to play down just to get through the day? Of course you would try to go to a neighboring country with a similar language/culture. What if you had to go to a whole new world, then that world was hostile to you? We can always make adjustments to help each other get by. I wish that the poem on the Statue of Liberty was remotely true...

Holy I read it as "Russia nukes Belarus" and i nearly shat myself

[this_is_patrick]

Imagine if Lukashenko broke ties with Russia and just steal the weapons haha.

[miguellopes]

By today's standards isn't "three times the one dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki" incredibly weak?

[nelsonperez]

I read the title and thought it said "russia nukes Belarus" and my heart stopped for a second.

[riccardocarretta]

I did read the thumbnail as "Russia NUKES Belarus" and i got really scared and really confused for a second

[fraliexb]

Ironically, it's Russia that Belarus needs to worry about invading.

[FarnhamJ]

Oh dear, I'm quaking in my boots almost as much as when Putin put his special nuclear forces on high alert a year ago! 🙄

[Jakub]

I read it as “Russia nuked Belarus”

“ ? “

[aaronsteer]

I have never scrolled back through my feed so quickly. Whoever made that thumbnail knew what they were doing holy shit.

[yurimow]

FFS, guys! you've got to watch out with your thumbnails. i almost got a heart attack as i read "russia nukes belarus" at first.

[MatthewHorne]

The most pointless move ever. It makes no difference if they are in Belarus or Russia. They can strike anywhere in the world. This is the actions of desperation and dense minds.
