If you've been wondering why the Russians have tolerated NATO countries supplying manpower, weapons and intelligence to its enemies, well..........................they're no longer going to.
MOSCOW, November 19. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree ratifying the revised nuclear doctrine, titled "Foundations of State Policy on Nuclear Deterrence."
The document has been officially published.
According to Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov, the document will be scrutinized both domestically and internationally.
Key provisions
According to the document, nuclear deterrence is aimed at "a potential adversary, which may encompass individual countries and military alliances (blocs, unions) that regard Russia as a potential enemy and possess nuclear and/or other weapons of mass destruction, or have substantial combat capabilities of general-purpose forces."
Russia will also engage in nuclear deterrence against those countries that offer their territory, maritime zones, airspace, and resources for aggression against it.
The president is the ultimate authority on the use of nuclear weapons.
Aggression from any non-nuclear state, but with the involvement or backing of a nuclear state, will be considered a joint attack on Russia.
Additionally, a nuclear response is deemed possible if there is a critical threat to Russia’s sovereignty, even from conventional weapons, including an attack on Belarus as part of the Union State, or a massive launch of warplanes, cruise missiles, drones, or other aircraft crossing the Russian border.
