- Recently leaked secret Russian documents, drawn up between 2008 and 2014, have revealed alarming insights into Russia's nuclear strategy and Putin's willingness to use nuclear weapons. ☢️🚨
- The documents show that Russia has been aware of its military weaknesses and has lowered the threshold for using nuclear weapons to compensate for its shortcomings in conventional warfare. 🥶💀
- Russia's nuclear policy has evolved from a "no-first-use" stance to one that includes retaliation for large-scale conventional attacks. This "escalate to de-escalate" approach is designed to force favorable terms for Russia. 🙅♂️🚀
- Russia isn't just worried about the West; they're also super paranoid about China invading their resource rich Far East territories, which they totally stole from China back in the day. 🇨🇳🤜🇷🇺
- In the event of a Chinese invasion, Russian military doctrine calls for the use of tactical nuclear weapons against second-echelon Chinese forces if initial defenses fail. 💣💥
- The documents outline specific conditions that would trigger a Russian nuclear response, such as the loss of 20% of its ballistic missile submarines, 30% of its attack submarines, or the successful amphibious landing of enemy forces on Russian soil. 🏴☠️🤐
- Even minor losses, such as three cruisers or three airfields, could prompt a nuclear response from Russia, highlighting the low threshold for nuclear escalation. 🚨❕
- Russia's willingness to use nuclear weapons is seen as a form of blackmail, allowing it to gain freedom of action in conflicts while forcing adversaries to either accept battlefield nuclear weapons or concede to Russian demands. 😈😛
- This reckless nuclear policy not only endangers Russia's enemies but also the entire world, as it could encourage similar behavior from other nuclear states and trigger a global nuclear arms race. 🌍💥
- So, now the world is left scratching its head, trying to figure out how to handle Russia's temper tantrums in Ukraine without setting off a chain reaction that could lead to a global nuclear meltdown. 🤔☢️
