MAD. It actually works. Putin has had his bluff called on this.
- cpursley 2y agoNonsense, there was no call. Blowing some shit up in the grey zone (or even Kursk) is one thing - his state hasn’t been threatened in any real way (which is their nuke threshold policy). However, lobbing western made (and make no mistake, western operated) weapons into their internationally recognized territory is an entirely different ballgame.

- cpursley 2y agoThat’s a typical drive-by headline. Did you even read the article? Or the first hand sources? Putin never once threatened using nukes out of the blue like some kind of madman - only reinstated their pretty bog standard nuclear defense policy when asked about it. Context is important, don’t be an idiot.
