The BelTA state agency reports the opinions of several pro-government experts, and some propagandists spoke on their Telegram channels and on Belarusian state television.

They mostly call it "retaliatory measures" and "forced action".

"The law of force is becoming the main component of interstate relations.

In these conditions, every state is forced to take measures to ensure its national security, the peaceful life of its citizens, and the development of society," noted military expert

Mykola Buzin

.

"Just two years ago, the President of Belarus put this question to Putin (that's what the propagandists call

Alexander Lukashenko

- Svoboda Ave.), and today it has been fully resolved.

Including within the framework of international law.

Putin said in his last interview that we are not doing anything that the West has not already done to us.

That's why it's just an answer," said another expert,

Aleksandar Tikhansky

.

Military expert and political scientist from Russia

Ivan Kanavalov

, as he was presented on "Belarus 1", said that "Belarus is now a country with which the West cannot do anything", and "the situation is developing quite logically, and it happened only because The US has completely lost its shores."

"Nuclear weapons are an unequivocal argument that the country is safer," another Russian political scientist

Uladzimir Kireev

said on the same channel .

The chairman of the association "Belaya Rus"

Oleg Romanov

called Putin's decision a response to the West's steps, noting that "it is the West that raises the stakes."

"No one attacks the states that possess nuclear weapons,"

Andrei Manoila

, a political scientist and professor at Lomonosov Moscow State University, said on the air of "Belarus 1" TV channel .

"The appearance of nuclear weapons, even tactical ones, even in warehouses, is a very serious trump card, which hits very hard on those hands that are reaching for Belarus and on all those forces that are going to, I am sure, repeat the scenario in the future 2020".

Military analyst of the Belarusian Institute of Strategic Studies (BISD)

Andrei Chernabay

believes that Russian tactical nuclear weapons will ensure the security of not only Belarus, but also the Union State with Russia.

Deputy of the House of Representatives

Oleg Gaidukevich

, one of the most ardent supporters of Lukashenka and integration with Russia, called the decision "absolutely correct".

He stated that the Republic of Belarus and its ally Russia do not need a war, but they will be able to respond.

"The only reason why NATO does not attack Belarus and Russia is the understanding that they cannot win.

If they knew or believed, even in a 10% chance, that they could defeat us, they would have invaded a long time ago and done everything to destroy us.

Evidence?

Yes, they are all over the world.

Iraq was invaded and destroyed.

Yugoslavia was bombed, knowing that it would not be able to respond, and Russia would not intervene.

They destroyed Libya for the same reason.

And we would be bombed already tomorrow - they know that they will walk away, only they are worried about it.

Also, these countries did not have nuclear weapons.

Iran?

Yes, they are not pushing into Iran, that's why they are trying to shake things up from the inside.

They will never climb into China, they will never venture, even into North Korea.

There are nuclear weapons.

Therefore, the only option to avoid war is to become stronger.

To strengthen the army, to strengthen armaments.

Therefore, I welcome this decision, it is absolutely logical and aimed at peace.

And let the Polish elite know what a confrontation with us can lead to.

For one thing, the destruction of not only Poland, but also the whole of Europe."

Haidukevich's bravado regarding the possible transfer of Russian tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus is shared by the TV presenter

Ryhor Azaronak

.

He called Belarus a "nuclear state" and declared that "Warsaw will melt and Vilnius will sink."

Pro-government political scientist

Aleksey Dzerman

wrote that Putin's decision is also "a response to the intentions of the Poles to create a strike group near the borders of Belarus."

"As for the Budapest Memorandum and the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, Western countries were the first to violate the memorandum when they began to impose the first sanctions against Belarus in 1996.

And the USA has been circumventing the Treaty for a long time by deploying its nuclear weapons in Western Europe."

Earlier, Dzerman, like Gaidukevich and Azaronka, began to frighten Western countries with a nuclear strike:

"Only a real threat of using nuclear weapons can stop the western neighbors from aggression towards us.

If anything, an immediate strike on Warsaw and Berlin, possibly Paris and London."
