Russia will make changes to its doctrine on the use of nuclear weapons in response to what it regards as Western escalation in the war in Ukraine, state media quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov as saying on Sunday.

The existing nuclear doctrine, set out in a decree by President Vladimir Putin in 2020, says Russia may use nuclear weapons in the event of a nuclear attack by an enemy or a conventional attack that threatens the existence of the state.

Some hawks among Russia’s military analysts have urged Putin to lower the threshold for nuclear use in order to “sober up” Russia’s enemies in the West.

Those two conflicts are in no way equivalent other than that people are dying.

Same doesn’t go for Israel, apparently. In fact, the US supplies them with all the offensive capabilities they could ever ask for to destroy Palestinian children

Maybe they’ll take us seriously if we threaten them with nukes for the 17th time.

Xi and Modi pretty sure already have told their pet that he’s not allowed to use the bad boom.
