Russia is already ridiculous with its nuclear threats
The degree of confrontation and intimidation by nuclear forces has risen to such an extent that today even if Russia launches a ballistic missile, but in conventional equipment, it will be easy funny.
At the same time, if it launches a missile with a nuclear warhead, it will violate the international moratorium on a nuclear explosion that has been in force for more than 30 years and is observed by the whole world. For example, if the Russians launch a missile into the Pacific Ocean near Kamchatka, as they did before, when there were nuclear tests.
“I don't think Putin today is so bold as to break the moratorium on the use of nuclear weapons. Yes, they are conducting exercises, but this is due to the failure to show other military successes to date,” Zhdanov said.
