What nuclear threats is Putin posing with recent drills?
Donald Trump is panicking as Vladimir Putin is conducting very threatening nuclear drills earlier today. Putin has announced joint nuclear force drills between Russia and Belarus. According to Putin, the two countries' armies are now practicing nuclear command operations during these exercises, and they're showing what it would look like to carry out launches of nuclear weapons using ballistic and cruise missiles combined. Vladimir Putin is saying that nuclear weapons remain a last resort, but due to growing global tension, Russia must retain its readiness of its nuclear forces. Of course, this directly follows Putin getting a hero's welcome in Beijing, where he met with Xi Jinping, who unveiled at a museum right there in Beijing an exhibit called Unbreakable Alliance with massive portraits of Putin and Xi Jinping.
You see right here some additional information about this exercise and the video that the Russians put out about this exercise that involved over 64,000 Russian and Belarusian troops, more than 7,800 pieces of military equipment, including around 200 missile launchers. Russia currently has about 320 launchers in total.
How are Trump and Putin's actions impacting global tensions?
And I don't want you to forget the fact that a few months back, Donald Trump said that the U.S. will be engaged in nuclear testing. Indicating that it could take place in Nevada or New Mexico. And there was a lots of uncertainty and ambiguity what Donald Trump meant by that. Also, when Donald Trump said that he was going to completely blow up all of Iran. That also made many of our allies believe that he was talking about nuclear weapons and perhaps dropping a nuclear bomb on Iran. There's reporting today from Reuters that a lot of our allies reached out to the State Department when Trump was making those statements about whether Trump was thinking of launching a nuke on Iran. And then the State Department and the Defense Department refused to answer to our allies what Donald Trump even meant by that.
I'm going to show you what Donald Trump's doing in the Oval Office because you can see he's becoming completely unglued at this point. But Putin also said the following during his speech earlier today.
What did Trump say about U.S. nuclear testing and Iran?
The use of nuclear weapons is an extreme and exceptional measure to ensure the national security of our states. At the same time, Given the growing tension in the world and the emergence of new threats and risks, our nuclear triad, as before, must serve as a reliable guarantor of the sovereignty of the Union State of Russia and Belarus, ensure strategic deterrence and maintain nuclear parity and global balance of power. Then Belarus's leader, Lukashenko, says we are absolutely not threatening anyone. But we have nuclear weapons and we are ready in every possible way to defend our homeland is what he's saying. So clearly threats there. So what's Donald Trump's response to that? Well, actually, yesterday, Donald Trump demanded that Ukraine help the United States by easing restrictions on Belarus's potash fertilizers.
Hey, Zelenskyy. Can you reach out to Europe and tell them not to sanction Belarus for their potash because Putin and Lukashenko really want to sell their fertilizer?
How is Trump's response to Belarus affecting U.S. foreign relations?
And by the way, what's going on right now is that fertilizer prices for American farmers and wholesalers right now, it's up like 40% because a lot of the fertilizer material comes from the Middle East and the Strait of Hormuz being closed is absolutely crushing our farmers. And so we have that going on right now. Now, Zelensky is also reporting some of these moves by Putin as Donald Trump continues to lift sanctions against Russian oil and continues to do his best to help Russia. We have additional visits by Steve Witkoff to Russia being announced, his seventh visit to hang out with Putin, to be a Putin bootlicker has been announced. He's been to Russia seven times. He's been to Ukraine zero times.
Here's what Zelensky just posted. I held a staff meeting. We analyzed in detail available data from our intelligence agencies on Russia's planning of offensive operations in the Chernihiv
