Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has said his country has started taking delivery of Russian tactical nuclear weapons, some of which he said were three times more powerful than the atomic bombs the US dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.

    Lol, is this supposed to be frightening? Nuclear powers developed weapons many times more powerful than Fat Man and Little Boy half a century ago.

    Aldo, isn’t the whole point of a tactical nuclear weapon that it’s low yield?

    This posturing is getting very old.
