Putin has warned of nuclear war by deploying tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus. He achieves several goals at the same time with one decision. The first and most obvious is protecting your ally from external threats. Russia's nuclear weapons will force Poland to behave more modestly.

AXar.az reports that this was said by political scientist Sergey Markov.

"The second goal is a completely humane step, and all of humanity should thank Putin for it. It is about stopping nuclear provocations and maintaining the global strategic balance. The Russian leadership regularly takes steps aimed at reminding the West of the country's nuclear status and the consequences of attempts to attack it. Putin's move to Belarus is one such event.
