Since the Ukrainians have eventually gotten just about everything else that they have wanted from us, they will probably get approval for this at some point too. So how do you think the Russians would respond if missiles that are provided by the United States start falling in their major cities and killing innocent civilians?
Do you think that the Russians may consider us to be responsible?
Right now, the Russians are reviewing their rules for using nuclear weapons, and it is expected that they will "lower the threshold for their use"...
World War 3 fears have exploded with Vladimir Putin set to change Russia's doctrine for nuclear weapons that could see him lower the threshold for their use.
Russia's nuclear weapons policy, devised in 2020, says that Moscow can use their weapons if they are attacked by an enemy or the existence of the state of Russia comes under threat.
Needless to say, this would bring us even closer to nuclear war.
Once the first nuke is used, it is just a matter of time before there is a full-blown exchange between the United States and Russia.
According to Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, the work to update the rules for using nuclear weapons has reached "an advanced stage"...
Putin said in June the doctrine was a 'living instrument' that could change depending on world events, and now Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov appears to have confirmed that work on a new document outlining adjustments is underway.
'The work is at an advanced stage, and there is a clear direction to make adjustments, which are also conditioned by the study and analysis of the experience of conflict development in recent years,' Ryabkov said in comments carried by Russia's TASS news service yesterday.
'This includes everything related to the escalation course of our Western opponents in connection with the "special military operation".'
This certainly doesn't mean that a nuclear war is imminent.
But we are heading in that direction.
Vladimir Putin has made it very clear that if the Russians believe there is an existential threat to "Russia's statehood", they will strike...
Putin meanwhile, has warned that defeat for Russia would mean "the end of Russia's statehood" - possibly a subtle justification for the use of nuclear weapons.
He added: "It means the end of the 1,000-year history of the Russian state. I think this is clear to everyone... Isn't it better to go all the way, until the end?"
As I have documented repeatedly, the Russians very clearly understand that whoever strikes first will have the best chance of surviving a nuclear war if one becomes inevitable. READ MORE
