Russia Just Moved Nuclear Weapons Closer To NATO

Russia doesn't need Belarus to reach Europe. It already has intercontinental missiles, submarines, and strategic bombers capable of hitting every NATO capital. So why move nuclear capability to Belarus — a country bordering Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia? The answer isn't range. It's the decision itself. Moving nuclear infrastructure closer to NATO's eastern flank changes warning times, compresses crisis decision-making, and forces alliance planners to assume the worst. This week's Chokepoint Review explains what Russia actually practiced in May, what the infrastructure at Asipovichy reveals, why Lithuania is rewriting its constitution, and what it means when a nuclear weapon works without ever leaving storage.
