Nukes for a blowhard

 

 

"One final word about Lukashenko. What a dumb move to side with Russia in this war. Now his reputation, will be the same as Putin's. And for what? So he can house some nukes? You will reap what you sow Lukashenko, you will reap what you have sown."  

 

Just when you thought Putin could not do anything more unthinking and stupid, he comes out with a big surprise. Putin just gave custody to some nuclear bombs to Belarus. The somewhat platitudinous ringleader of Belarus (that be Alexander Lukashenko), spared no time telling the world he now had nuclear bombs in his position. He went on to say, they are three times as powerful as the ones dropped on Japan in WWII. 

Okay buddy - you got your wish. You now have nukes. You have nukes, with all the responsibility and risk that goes with them. Risk? What do you mean risk? You sir, are now a target. If push comes to shove, expect to see some nukes headed your way to neutralize the nukes you now house. Sorry - that is the way the game is played these days. If you have nukes, they need to be taken out. And you may have a handful of nukes Mr. Lukashenko, but NATO has thousands of them.

Plus, NATO has been very clear on this issue. Should you or your pal Vladimir use any of those nukes on Ukraine, NATO will come in and destroy what is left of the Russian Army, including the Belarus Army. And we won't even need nukes to accomplish that.

What has been gained by this war on Ukraine? Now that it has been going on for close to two years? First off, in case anyone in that region cares, more than a hundred thousand Ukrainians and Russians have died. Maybe a lot more than that. That is a lot of people. Next, a good portion of the country of Ukraine has been laid to ruin. Once this shooting war stops, and peace is declared, who pays to rebuild Ukraine? Anybody? Finally, the Russian Army has shown itself to be a paper tiger. Once feared, but no longer. 

Putin has certainly mucked things up over there. Whereas peace is good for everyone, war is good for no one. There will be an accounting for the war crimes over there. Russia will never again be the country it once was. The very costly glory Russia earned in WWII, has all but vanished in Ukraine. Now Russia is no more than a thug nation, just like the Nazis were in WWII.

One final word about Lukashenko. What a dumb move to side with Russia in this war. Now his reputation, will be the same as Putin's. And for what? So he can house some nukes? You will reap what you sow Lukashenko, and you will reap what you have sown.
