This weekend.....Russia's Putin said that he will move/station Russian nuclear missiles (I assume he means the tactical type) in Belarus....as a warning to Europe.
Is he saying all of them? No. He's just hinting that some will go to Belarus.
Reality of this? If some idiot were to push the button....the closer launch would mean a minute or two less warning time....if they were destined for Paris or Berlin.
A bigger worry? Frankly, your stress level should be the same as it was....when the nuke missile was parked on Russian territory.
But over the next week....at least two or three German public forums will discuss this and freak Germans out over nuke warfare. If you asked most Germans what they should do when the siren goes off, and some nuke incoming missile is bound for Germany? They'd give you a funny look and think this was some comedy show.
Will someone bring up the quality or craftsmanship of the nuke missiles? Well....yeah. After watching events of the past year in terms of Russian-designed weapons failing.....I would imagine some people have their doubts that this means much of anything.
The one positive here? If you asked a hundred Germans to identify Belarus on a map....fewer than ten could do it (at least prior to this). So I would suggest that more than 50-percent will be able to find the country now on the map.
