8. While I don't support any country having nuclear weapons and I've been critical of the world on that

But the fact that Russia, no surprise, will give Belarus nuclear weapons, means you're asking for other countries to want to get them. I mean, by that logic, why shouldn't other countries in Europe not have them? Poland will want them, Ukraine should never have gotten rid of theirs, the Baltic States will want them, maybe Finland would want them, and people wonder why NATO expanded. It was Russia's own doing. If they hadn't invaded Ukraine, perhaps maybe Finland and Sweden wouldn't have joined (although I think they probably would have done so at a later time). So if Russia is mad that all this is happening, they have no one to blame but themselves.
