    “17-Nov -22 Russia is not considering using nuclear weapons - Kremlin says.”

    How threatening.

      If you speak Kremlin, that’s their way of saying that they want us to think that they are considering using nuclear weapons. It’s the younger-sibling-on-a-road-trip’s “I’m not touching you” of nuclear threats.

        Interesting point. Sadly, I don’t speak Kremlin. Are there good reasons or past experiences which support that it’s “the younger sibling”?

        At first, taken for itself, this sounds to me like the usual nuclear de-escalation talk and not the other way around.
