Russia Tests Troops and Prepares to Deploy Nuclear Weapons on NATO Borders.
TL;DR
Belarus has announced a check of its armed forces' combat readiness following Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent statement that Moscow will station tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus. Putin said the move does not violate any of Russia's nuclear non-proliferation commitments and that Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko had requested the weapons' deployment. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg downplayed the move, but a top geopolitical strategist believes NATO should take immediate action.
