It’s a rational statement.

Do you mean that “seedy, oily, greasy puppet” is Poland?

Weird.

Such a strange opinion in FR. One has to wonder in what pit that thought was bred.

Isn’t there supposed to be a nuclear non-proliferation treaty and didn’t Russia sign it?

“Belarus leader Lukashenko threatens to nuke NATO nations if he is faced with ‘aggression’”

Easy solution, except for the Neocons: DO NOT try invading Belarus.

Any attack by Belarus is an attack by Ruzzia. If they do this then both countries need to be obliterated from the earth.

Just wondering if this fit within the established fine print - eg. US has tactical nukes stationed in non-nuclear NATO allies (I hope not still Turkey.) Perhaps Putin considers this the same. Back in the days of the Warsaw pact I presume Brezhnev, etc. did. Although I’d thought they were to some degree considered still under our command there and Lukashenko implies he can act on his own. Not that I’d take that difference too seriously as all know he doesn’t pee without Putin’s permission. If there really were a significant difference from established norms you’d expect some of the knee jerk anti-nuke parts of the media to notice and at least make a cursory comment. If they don’t even notice or do, but decline to comment, they deserve even less respect than I’ve given them before.

Any attack ON Belarus is an attack by NATO. If they do this then every NATO installation within range should be targeted with tactical nukes and obliterated from the earth.

Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko has threatened to deploy nuclear weapons on NATO nations if he is faced with aggression, amid heightened tension on the country's border with Poland. Warning the West in an interview with state-run BelTA, the Belarusian leader said he would deploy nuclear weapons 'immediately once aggression is launched against us'. 'If aggression against our country is launched from the side of Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, we will immediately respond with everything we have,' he said.

Belarus isn't talking about attacking anyone. Retaliation isn't an attack. WAR 101

In a cesspit. Reminds me of the Jim Morrison lyric, “His brain is squirmin’ like a toad.”

On a related note, the caption for one of the DM photos reads:
A Polish border guard patrols the area of a built metal wall on the border between Poland and Belarus, near Kuznice, Poland, on June 30, 2022
So Poland gets a "metal wall" and we get what? An incomplete wall courtesy of the Democrats and RINOs. Because a wall between nations is bad except when it is good.

Lukashenko is confident that his conventional forces + Wagner + Russian forces in Belarus, all added up, are not worth a poop, evidently.
