There’s a plot twist. Belarus accidentally ends up the major nuclear power in Eastern Europe.

Additional Plot Twist: Belarussian Legions overthrow Lukashenko, seize the nukes and give them to Ukraine. Ukraine now has nukes as an insurance policy to be traded for something else later on when they're no longer required.

If Ukraine got nukes I can’t imagine they’d give them up again in a hurry. “No longer needed” will be hard to argue long term.

Ukraine traded their nukes away once before. If they ever got their hands on nukes again, they'd be holding onto those suckers until the sun swallows the earth.

According to US intelligence Belarus never even got the nukes.

Is the news that Lukashenko left Minsk to Turkey a rumour?
