Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko sparked concern on Thursday by announcing that Russia had begun moving tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus.

And while we will likely hear news of Russian nuclear weapons movements to Belarus in the coming days, NATO's nuclear posture remains largely unchanged.

Russian strategic forces retain a nuclear safeguarding tradition reaching back to the Soviet Union.

Again, the Russian military takes nuclear weapons very seriously and may not follow orders that would risk their nation's absolute isolation and, in the worst case, a nuclear war with NATO. The Russian military knows, after all, that that's a war they would lose.
