Putin warns that Russia could use nuclear weapons | DW News

President Vladimir Putin has warned the West that Russia could use nuclear weapons if it was struck with conventional missiles. The Russian leader presented changes to Russia's nuclear doctrine at a meeting of Russia's Security Council. Putin said a nuclear power supporting an attack on Russia would now be considered a joint aggressor. The change in doctrine comes after Putin's warning to the U.S. and other NATO allies that allowing Ukraine to use Western long-range weapons to hit Russian territory would mean that Russia and NATO are at war.

Russia wants play roulette with nukes, not a good idea when your nukes blow up in the silo 😂

[NoHairMan]

Whatever. At this point his threats are pretty empty.

[senquidam]

Rules made by others, Putin breaks or ignores. Rules made himself he either breaks, ignores or changes them to fit his needs. So basically Putin does whatever he wants not caring about anything and the West is letting him be and even restrict themselfes by their own rules and red lines. Nothing more to say.

[oliversakanyi]

Does Putin know that Russia isn't the only country with nuclear weapons?

[BJ-knte]

He really just needs to declare defeat and let the world get on with life.
