00:00When nuclear weapons were placed in Belarus, Steve, our Steve here, was worried about Belarus having nuclear weapons.
00:12He kept attacking me so much, and at the time I thought maybe if we had some different weapons, maybe it would be different.
00:20We've got Iskander missile system, we also have the Polonez missile system.
00:30But we have a much more advanced weapon system.
00:34A much more advanced system.
00:40It's our last chance.
00:43We've got more than one worker, more than one specialist.
00:47We've got a lot of people, we've got a lot of work.
00:49here was worried about Belarus having nuclear weapons.
00:52He kept attacking me so much and at the time I thought maybe if we had some different weapons
01:00maybe it would be different.
01:01We got Iskander missile system, we also have the Polonez missile system.
01:18I'm not trying to scare anyone but these missiles could reach Warsaw and Kiev and other capitals.
01:29I'm not saying we're aiming at the capitals, God forbid, but then I thought this wouldn't
01:38be enough and then bam, we get Oreshnik.
01:43So I go to President Putin, I tell him can you give us that and he said he'll think that
01:50he comes to Minsk and says of course we'll deliver some to you.
02:13And then I publicly thanked him and so in Minsk where we held these events as part
02:43of the union state session conference, everyone was discussing that.
02:50Steve has no longer been attacking me about nuclear weapons because now we have an agreement
03:00with President Putin that we're going to have the Oreshnik missile.
03:04In fact, the next missile system will be delivered to Belarus even sooner than it will be operational
03:10in Russia.
03:12Was I right to make this decision?
03:14We're not giving up on nuclear weapons but Oreshnik is a massive weapon, it's a scary
03:24weapon, let us have it, I don't know where do you want it.
