The Spin

While Putin's nuclear signallingsignaling may be dangerous as it brings the world closer to the use of such weapons, there are some benefits in that it tells Ukraine's partners the limit of attacks that Russia can tolerate before it decides it's going nuclear. In either instance, the real threat of the use of nuclear weapons remains relatively low.

Despite the rhetoric of politicians, NATO weapons and unmarked NATO soldiers are currently invading nuclear-armed Russia in its Kursk region. World War III has already begun and no one is talking about it.
