Fantastic, glad there might be a catch. Last week I saw that dude (Lukashenko) in a round table discussion. He was in his fatigues from what I recall. I wonder what that symbolizes?

If I had to guess it reinforces the same message as the nuclear doctrine update. “If you keep pushing we will hit with a nuclear strike to some degree.” “It may not be Armageddon but you won’t mistake it for a ticker tape parade.”

Good old fucking normalcy bias.

Why don't you talk about the failed ICMB nuclear test of Russia?

No one wants to attack Belarus. That is just stupid, why would NATO attack Belarus? That is just propaganda and you know it

Belarus' effort on improving its armed forces is still not yet at a proper pace. At least it should match Poland and Lithuania in per capita sense. Poland has a population about 4x of that of Belarus. So Belarus must have enough defense works to buy time for reinforcement from Russia. Although pillboxes and fortresses are far less useful than a hundred years ago, any frontline infantryman will tell you that these defense works make a significant difference. Belarus also still has large areas of wetlands and these areas will limit the axes of attacks significantly.

Why can't Belarus mobilize instead of using nukes on Ukraine ( brotherly country for both russia and Belarus)?

Don't think Russia or Belarus give much of a crap now about what will or won't happen if they have to go nuclear to defend Belarus. If UAF invade Belarus, there is no other option but to wipe out UAF troop staging posts. One or two would let the west know the ante has been well and truly raised.
