Putin has continue to taunt the Ukraine this weak in further comments that he has begun to move nuclear war heads and short range missile systems to Belarus, the neighboring country to north of Ukraine. Belarus is a well known ally to Russia and helped in the initial launch of the invasion into the Ukraine in February 2022. Putin continues to escalate the war with Ukraine by making threats and increasing the tension with the potential use of nuclear weapons. This weeks comments follow his December threats that Russia is training Belarusian pilots to fly jets carrying special warheads. Zelensky, Ukraine President, has called for an emergency UN meeting. It is safe to say that tensions rising over the threat of a nuclear war that would suck in all countries. The longer this continues the more likely a nuclear outcome will be. This ties into our class discussion about leaders that make decisions based on power and self preservation. Putin doesn't want to appear weak and be defeated by a "less" powerful country.
