  1. Don't call it Belarussia please 😅. Belarusians are not Russians. 😅

  2. @Martin Andersen  I made the mistake to once tell a Belarusian friend that in the Netherlands and Germany they call Belarus "Wit-Rusland / Weiß Russland" both meaning White Russia. She was deeply offended, and her response literally was that Belarus isn't Russia and Belarusians aren't Russians (even though I didn't mean it like that, I just wanted her to know this weird fact). As Anna indeed pointed out in a different video, Rus' and Russia aren't the same as well as that Belarusians aren't Russians. Belarus as a name has to do with the old Rus' state. Belarus meaning White Rus' or White Ruthenia, not White Russia. De term Belarussia also kinda implies Russian ownership as I believe it was called the Byelorussian SSR during the USSR. In a way it is the same as calling Ukraine, "the Ukraine".

  5. @Martin Andersen  I know my country hosts US nuclear weapons. It's by choice though as an nuclear attack on us is considered a nuclear attack on the US mainland. So that somewhat protects us.

  6. I personally don't worry too much about the tactical nukes in Belarus. If the Russians/Muscovites wanted to strike our countries, they could do so without Belarus, too (considering they control Kaliningrad). Speaking about Kaliningrad, I think that for lasting peace, Kaliningrad needs to be detached from Russia or at the least be demilitarised (the term the orcs like to use so much) as it functions as a dagger pointed at the heart of Europe. I think it's more tragic for the Belarusian people, as storing nuclear weapons in your country means you're a target as well. It is also sad that, in this case, the Budapest Memorandum, making Belarus a non-nuclear state, is pointless again. It drags the Belarusians people even further into this conflict, whilst they don't want anything to do with it. But yeah, it is kind of hypocritical that the country that is crying that it doesn't want nuclear weapons so close to its borders, does the same thing to its neighbours (both with Kaliningrad and now with Belarus) and threatens them by putting nuclear weapons close to their border. They don't want missiles pointing at Moscow, but it is okay for them to point Missiles at Berlin, Warsaw, Kyiv, Riga, Vilnius, Tallinn and Helsinki.
