    By deploying tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, Russia is lowering the nuclear threshold, politicians and commentators have said.

    Oh wow. Yeah that’s not a good idea on Russia’s part. It’s a historical “fuck you” from the Cold War era. . I am wondering what NATO and the US would consider an appropriate response. Russia has stated many times they will use nuclear weapons to defend against an invasion. So it really feels like WW3 on the horizon.

    I guess the US could totally blockade Russia and all its allies ports. That would be a huge escalation.
