Are you claiming there was already a recent change to Russia’s nuclear doctrine, I’d be very interested to see a source.

No, it’s the opposite - they’re saying that this isn’t a change in Russia’s behaviour.

I know what they’re saying, but you seem to have misunderstood what I said. To my knowledge this is the first change in Russia’s nuclear doctrine, so there’s no “again” here. This is a significant change in nuclear use policy, and it would be sheer idiocy to dismiss it lightly.

Russia’s actual nuclear policy has been “fire nukes if Putin says so” for decades. This paperwork doesn’t represent a real change.

Putin has been yapping about nuking the west if they cross whatever red line he made up that week for years.
