Russia has moved tactical nuclear weapons into Belarus

Website 'Foreign Policy' with report, citing unnamed Western officials:

• Russia has moved tactical nuclear weapons from its own borders into neighboring Belarus, several hundred miles closer to NATO territory
• The move, which Putin first announced in June of last year, is likely aimed at ramping up pressure on NATO’s eastern flank.
• top NATO officials insist that the move doesn’t drastically change the nature of Russia’s military threats to NATO

More on the threat:

• “The Russians can reach any place in NATO with nuclear missiles with what they have on their own territory,” said Rose Gottemoeller, a former top U.S. arms control envoy and deputy secretary-general of NATO. “It does not change the threat environment at all. So it is purely a political message.”

All for show then? I hope the NATO take on this isn't like the global central banks' take in inflation a couple of years ago, that is was transitory. That didn't work out so well.

But, hey, don't take my worries too much to heart, I'm just a guy in Australia posting on ForexLive during the day and clicking buttons on NinjaTrader half the night.

Let me know in the comments better ideas on the threat of nuclear war, or not.
