I have lived my whole life under the threat of nuclear war. First it was the Soviet Union and the Cold War, then the Russians and the Chinese and now the threat of rogue states such as North Korea. Fortunately, it has not happened yet but we came very close several times.
Belarus is an eastern European country that is bordered by Russia to the northeast, Ukraine to the south, Poland to the west, and Lithuania and Latvia to the northwest. It was once a member of the Soviet Union. During the early 1980s, Belarus was working on the creation of a nuclear power plant but the1986 Chernobyl reactor accident in nearby Ukraine put those plans on hold.
I have often written about North Korea and its nuclear program. North Korea is thought to have a few nuclear bombs and it often threatens to attack South Korea and the United States over perceived threats. South Korea does not have nuclear weapons and relies on the nuclear arsenal of the United States, the conventional forces of the US and other allied nations and the U.S.
