  2.  @evgeniam685  So, Belarus, like Armenia, is a CSTO member. Like NATO and its Article 5, CSTO has Article 4 that says any attack against one member is considered an attack against all members. That didn't work out so well for Armenia, did it? Lukashenko must be thinking nuclear weapons make all the difference, but that doesn't seem so, now that Russia is quietly withdrawing all its military assets from Syria, leaving Assad high and dry. Why not its nukes from Belarus as well? Russian safety quarantees, nuclear or non-nuclear, seem to be worth diddly-squat. Great going, Mr. Putin, not only has your SMO left the Russian economy in tatters, but also, NATO expanded eastward and Russia lost its only military bases in the Middle East.
