Lukashenka: “It’s our business with Putin how to use nuclear weapons”

"The mechanism is not spelled out."

“The mechanism is not spelled out.”

The Belarusian dictator, answering the question whether the mechanism of nuclear weapons use is prescribed in the new Military Doctrine, said: “The mechanism is not prescribed, it is our business with Putin. Moreover, not only on tactical weapons, but also on conventional weapons, we consult on how, when and where to use it. Therefore, where it is necessary, it is prescribed”.

The new Military Doctrine and National Security Concept are scheduled to be adopted on Thursday at the All-Belarusian People’s Assembly (the new highest representative body in the republic). Lukashenka was elected its chairman today.

He also said that he will go to the elections “if people decide that he should go” and added that he will leave power only “when there will be a person who will not betray.”

This time there were some sexist statements. The dictator said that the position of head of state is exclusively “male, because the responsibilities of the commander-in-chief (and the work in general) are hard.”
