“Russia is modernizing and expanding its nuclear arsenal,” US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said
Russia is expanding and modernizing its nuclear arsenal, it said today US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, at a time when Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly warned that he will use nuclear weapons to protect Russia.
“Russia is modernizing and expanding its nuclear arsenal,” Austin said at a ceremony for the incoming commander of the US Strategic Command, which oversees America’s nuclear arsenal.
“And as the Kremlin continues its cruel and unprovoked war of choice against Ukraine, the entire world is watching Putin engage in profoundly irresponsible nuclear bullying,” Austin added.
It is recalled that in his new statements today, Vladimir Putin warned that any country that dares to attack Russia with nuclear weapons will disappear from the face of the earth. He also stressed that Russia does not have a mandate to launch a pre-emptive nuclear first strike, unlike the US, but that Russia’s advanced hypersonic weapons will ensure that Russia can respond forcefully if ever attacked.
