Vladimir Putin has an insane plan to restore the former borders of the Soviet Union - and his next step might be to backstab Belarus - Russia's closest ally.

Belarus is a small country that is sandwiched between Russia and Ukraine, and Vladimir Putin doesn't like that one bit. He's been undermining Belarus ever since he came to power, and this latest plan has been revealed by a leaked document, where his administration will attempt to backstab Belarus and take control of the country. If this plan goes through, it could lead to war between Russia and Belarus, and possibly even NATO involvement.

We'll also be discussing the Ukraine war and how it's affected Russia and Belarus, as well as Vladimir Putin's relationship with NATO and his vision for a restored Soviet Union.
