Russia's Plan to Store Nuclear Weapons in Belarus Sparks Outrage and Fear.

Putin's announcement that he will store a small number of Russian nuclear weapons in Belarus is mainly rash and baffling, as it gives him no advantage and does not alter the strategic situation. The move is seen as a way of keeping his nuclear threat front and center without doing anything that's really dangerous. However, it could backfire if the West shrewdly exploits it. Biden could point to Putin's flagrant betrayal of the statement he had signed with Xi just days earlier, potentially leading to a renewed overture between the US and China.
