Belarus dictator Lukashenko admits he is 'bonkers' and has no 'red lines' as he ... trends now
Unhinged dictator of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko has admitted he is 'bonkers' and has no 'red lines' as he threatens the West with nuclear weapons given to him by Vladimir Putin.
His rant came as Russian and Belarusian forces carried out tactical nuclear weapons drills, claiming the West is threatening them.
'We are closer than ever to a nuclear catastrophe,' said Lukashenko, 69, who maintained his grip on power after rigging a presidential election and brutally quashing protests in 2020.
'We are not planning to attack anyone. But everyone should understand that we will hit back.
'And all their chatter ''Ah…Putin is pushing Lukashenko''. And then about me ''He's bonkers, he has no [red] lines''.
'They are absolutely right in saying so. I am far from stupid but I have no [red] lines.'
