Putin Broadens Nuclear Doctrine to Counter Western ‘Aggression’

President Vladimir #Putin said #Russia will revise its nuclear doctrine to include a response to “aggression” by non-nuclear states that is supported by other #nuclear powers.

“Aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear state, but with the participation or support of a nuclear state, is proposed to be considered as a joint attack on the #Russian Federation,” Putin said in televised comments to Russia’s Security Council on Wednesday.

The decision comes after Putin earlier this month warned the #US and #European countries against allowing #Ukraine to strike deep inside Russia using Western long-range high-precision weapons. Russia would make “appropriate decisions” based on the new threats, he said at the time.

Well, pay attention to what he said, the conditions. He couln't use nukes before because the doutrine wouldn't allow it. Now it will. Also: it doesn't mean that he will use it for now, even if one of the conditions allow it, BUT he has now the option. It basically says that the red button is ready for now on.

There were 8 million Nazi soldiers, how many of them were killed or captured by the USA?

The USA and its many allies couldn't defeat Taliban in 20 years. In Afghanistan war, the Afghanistan government army which backed by the USA lost 70, 000 soldiers and Taliban lost 50, 000 soldiers.

The people don't want this. We don't want these wars. We never did. We never will again. This beautiful planet has been through so many catastrophes, and it doesn't need to continue. We want peace for all people and nations. We need to come together and help each other. We all have weaknesses and strengths, and we should be helping each other and helping our planet.

God help us if the chickenshits who are afraid of Putin were around when Reagan stood up to Russia.

[warllockmasterasd]

So, from the way I see it.
The options to use Nukes will be considered in the following events.

-Ukraine gets massive support to launch a deep invasion towards Russia from the Western World.

-the Western World decides to attack Russia.
-Russia feels like any condition is met.

Why do you people defend Putin? How do you think he is bettering Russia? Since Putin can't leave well enough alone and meddle in Western countries, how is your life better? This isn't the 1940s, but Putin alone brought back a cold war stance.
